The date for this cartoon would probably be somewhere around 1813, because it seems to be drawn in reference to the Treaty of Ghent. John Bull stands for England, Mr. Bruin for Russia (the Czar), and Columbia for America, because she is holding an American Flag. William Charles, the cartoonist/artist, was biased towards American, and thought the English should ask US for mercy, since the Bull looks stupid. Media bias is obviously evident.
