United Defence Against Aggression by F. E. Jackson
F. E. Jackson's stirring lithograph transforms geopolitics into timeless allegory. Medieval-clad figures of England and France stand united against aggression, their combined strength repelling the dark German eagle in a moment of defiant solidarity.
Jackson, trained in Paris and later Principal of the Byam Shaw School, became a master of wartime propaganda art, shaping how Britain presented itself to the world during the Great War. This 1917 government commission reveals the strategic storytelling behind the conflict, portraying Britain not as an imperial giant but as a principled defender of civilisation alongside its French ally.
