Britannia’s relation to food was partly a function of her
allegorical status. The Greek derivation of allegory is ‘to
speak other’, that is, whilst representing one thing, to
signify another. Allegory is a means of conveying a message
in a persuasive way, and it appropriates visual imagery for
this purpose. Marina Warner found the female form in
particular to be ‘a recurrent motif in allegory’ (1987, p. xix)
and its use has a long history in both east and west. For
example, sculptured female figures on Hindu temples in
India of the tenth and eleventh centuries represented
divinities, they were ‘considered as mothers’ and associated
with fertility and abundance (Desai 1997).

Britannia was the allegory of Great Britain. It was glorified to mark the victorious quests of the British across the globe. It wore a wreath of leaves signifying victory. In the image in the textbook, it is at centre of image, worshipped and surrounded by native people.
