"John Bull Taking a Clear View of the Negro Slavery Question" is a notable political cartoon by the British caricaturist and illustrator George Cruikshank, created in 1826. The work is a satirical commentary on the contemporary debate surrounding the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. George Cruikshank, known for his sharp wit and social criticism, uses the character of John Bull, a national personification of England, to represent the British public's perspective on the issue of slavery.

In the illustration, John Bull is depicted peering through a large magnifying glass at a scene of a slave auction, highlighting the inhumanity and brutality of the slave trade. The magnifying glass serves as a metaphor for bringing the distant and often-ignored realities of slavery into closer, undeniable focus for the British populace. Cruikshank's work coincides with the growing abolitionist movement in Britain, which would eventually lead to the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, ending slavery throughout most of the British Empire.

The cartoon is significant not only for its political impact but also for its artistic merit. Cruikshank's detailed etching technique and his ability to convey complex messages through visual satire have earned him a place among the most influential British caricaturists of the 19th century. "John Bull Taking a Clear View of the Negro Slavery Question" is emblematic of Cruikshank's commitment to social reform and his skill in using art as a means of political commentary. The piece remains an important historical artifact, reflecting the sentiments and debates of its time, and it continues to be studied for its contribution to the visual culture of abolitionism and its role in shaping public opinion on slavery.
