Chapter Chapter 9 in 110 Years of Taxation from Pitt to Lloyd George, 2023, pp 237-245 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Two key elements, however, raise the importance of this book beyond a mere pictorial history of taxation with minimal textual commentary: ‘The compilation of a comprehensive image database’ AND ‘The slicing and dicing of information from this database’. The PEARL approach provides a systematic template for analysing images. At its heart this book places cartoons as a primary source of historical evidence rather than as an amusing accompaniment. The interpretation of my database reveals areas of study that cover both the absence as well as the frequency of cartoon coverage of fiscal events. The overriding conclusion to be drawn from the analytical review of my database of images is the repetition of icons over the decades. The frequent depiction of politicians as women leads on to a discussion of gender reversal. The private dominance of women in domestic life spills over into the public arena of politics even though the protagonists are all male.
