Victorian political cartoon showing a dog in formal waiter attire holding a covered tray, facing a starving bull with a sign reading "I AM STARVING".

About this clipart

This black-and-white lithograph by Linda Stewart (c. 1875) reimagines the Aesop fable “The Dog in the Manger” as a political allegory: a dog in aristocratic livery stands guard over a covered dish, while a gaunt bull, holding a sign stating “I AM STARVING,” looks on helplessly. The checkerboard floor and urban backdrop reinforce themes of rigid class division and moral failure among the privileged. The image critiques the wealthy’s refusal to aid the impoverished despite surplus.
Used in historical analyses of Victorian satire, political cartoons, and socio-economic commentary; commonly appears in digital archives, educational resources, and museum exhibits on 19th-century print culture and social reform movements.
