Prefatory Note.

THE present collection of Sir John Tenniel’s Cartoons is intended to be a selection comprising the more memorable of those which have appeared in “Punch” during the last 50 years. The first in the collection bears the date of 1851, and the last is Sir John Tenniel’s final Cartoon in January, 1901. Short explanatory notes have been provided, but as most of them will, perhaps, be unnecessary to those to whom the Cartoons themselves are familiar, they have been grouped together and combined with the Table of Contents at the commencement of the volume, where they can readily be referred to.

March, 1901.

The General Election had given the Conservatives a majority, and Mr. Disraeli became Premier for the second time.

Snubbed!

An exchange of visits, the first for the last 200 years, had taken place between the German and Spanish Courts. This aroused jealousy in France, where the Spanish King had recently been rudely received.

“Mirage”

59

At this time General Gordon at Khartoum was isolated. His appeal for assistance and the opening of communications with Khartoum by the Suakin-Berber route, was still delayed.

“Mrs. Micawber”

60

This Cartoon refers to Mr. Gladstone’s vacillating Egyptian policy, and pictures him as “Micawber waiting for something to turn up.” The Liberal Party, however, like Mrs. Micawber, remained loyal to the Premier.

“Wait till the Clouds roll by”

61

Mr. Gladstone, burdened with political complications at home and abroad, ill-health and impaired voice, was resting and recruiting at Hawarden. The advice here tendered to him was the title of a popular song.

“Too Late!”

When Sir Charles Wilson at last succeeded in approaching Khartoum, the Mahdi’s flag was flying upon what had been Gordon’s citadel. Khartoum had fallen, and its dauntless defender with it.

“Only his Play” (!!!)

63

The Russians had attacked the Afghans at Penjdeh, and each side charged the other with provoking the conflict.

On April 27 Mr. Gladstone made use of the above significant words with reference to an arrangement or covenant with Russia concerning Afghanistan, which Russia appeared to have broken.

Our Protean Premier!

65

On May 4 Mr. Gladstone removed all immediate fear of war, by announcing that Russia and England would resume negotiations for the delimitation of the Afghan frontier.

The “Irrepressible” Tourist

The Grand Young Man!!

68

Lord Randolph Churchill had been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer and Leader of the House of Commons in the new Salisbury Ministry.

Sink or Swim!!

69

Mr. Gladstone had introduced his Home Rule Bill, and had deliberately set his fortune and that of his party upon the policy thereby involved.

70-71

This travesty depicts the retreat of the Liberal Party on the defeat of the second reading of Mr. Gladstone’s Home Rule Bill.

The Tempter

72

Certain Socialists and Anarchists had taken advantage of the prevailing poverty and lack of work to make inflammatory appeals to the unemployed.

Salisbury Sisyphus

73

Lord Salisbury had to face the difficulties of the Irish question—a task as formidable to him as to his predecessors.

“What of the Night?”

74-75

The action of Russia (the Great Northern Bear) in Bulgaria and elsewhere at this time seemed likely to involve a disturbance of the peace of Europe.

“Quite English, you know”

76

President Cleveland was at this time advocating in America the adoption of the English system of Free Trade.

Bear or Bug-Bear?

77

Russia, in consequence of her huge armaments and equivocal policy, seemed a standing menace to the peace of Europe.

In the Arena

Germany, March 9, 1888

80

On this date Germany was plunged into mourning owing to the death of the Emperor William.

Consol-ation

81

Mr. Goschen’s National Debt Conversion Bill provided for the conversion of the 3 per cent. Stocks into a new Stock bearing 2-3/4 per cent. interest for fifteen years, and thereafter a guaranteed 2-1/2 per cent. for 20 years.

What next?

82

The popularity of General Boulanger suggested the idea that France was growing weary of a Republican “regime.”

“Panic amongst the Pigs!”

83

A Papal Rescript, condemning the Plan of Campaign and the practice of Boycotting, caused some excitement among the Irish Nationalists.

Plain English!

84

England was aggrieved by the action of Portugal in reference to the Delagoa Railway, and by insults to the British flag committed by the Portuguese.

From the Nile to the Neva

85

The McGladstone!

88

Mr. Gladstone had started for Midlothian to carry on another political campaign for the rallying of his forces.

“Separatists”

89

Owing to the scandal arising out of the O’Shea divorce case, Mr. Gladstone refused to co-operate any longer with Mr. Parnell as leading the Irish Home Rule Party.

Arbitration

90

The Americans claimed to make the Behring Sea a mare clausum, and it was thought advisable to establish a “close-time” for the seals.

“Retire!—What do you think?”

91

A rumour that Mr. Gladstone was about to retire from political life proved to be without foundation.

Coriolanus

92

Prince Bismarck had inspired in the columns of the Hamburger Nachrichten, incessant attacks upon the Imperial policy, and especially upon the proceedings of his successor, Caprivi.

93

A scheme, advocated by Sir Henry Parkes, was under consideration for establishing “one great Union Government” amongst the Australian Colonies.

Mr. Punch’s Jubilee Pageant

94-95

In July “Mr. Punch” celebrated his Jubilee. The sketches surrounding the Pageant are of selected cartoons illustrating events ranging over 50 years.

96

The suggestion of “Turning the Tables” was that on this occasion the Man (France) was dancing to the tune of the Bear acting as leader.

“What will he do with it?”

97

It was hoped that some portion of the large Russian loan might be applied to the relief of misery rather than for war preparations.

Younger than ever!

104

The great Liberal leader, who had been recruiting his health in the South of France, had returned and resumed the leadership.

The Dynamite Dragon

The Dynamitards had committed many outrages on the Continent, and the destruction of property by dynamite had been made a capital offence by the French Chamber.

The New “Queen of the May”

106

Incendiary Manifestoes having been issued by the French proletariat, it was feared that disturbances might ensue during the May Day celebrations on the Continent.

107

The two great leaders had issued stirring addresses to the constituencies, and were preparing to grapple for supremacy at the approaching General Election.

The Liberal leader was resolved to persevere with his Home Rule Bill, despite the lukewarm support of the Irish Nationalists and the fierce opposition of the Ulster Unionists.

Uncle Toby and Widow Wadman

110

The Ulster Defence Union had issued a Manifesto antagonistic to the Home Rule scheme, and mass meetings were held at Belfast and other parts of Ulster.

“The Minstrel Boy”

111

“All’s Well!”

124

The Russian Press at this time suggested that an Anglo-Russian understanding would be of great advantage to the two nations.

The New Passenger

125

126

Mr. Gladstone had expressed his strong indignation at the atrocities in Armenia, which had profoundly shocked the mind of the country.

Silent!

127

The British occupation of Egypt still continued, the Egyptian Government being powerless to suppress outrages on Europeans in Alexandria.

An Easter ’Oliday

128

The House of Commons had adjourned for the Easter vacation. Both leaders were glad of repose after the exciting debates on the Welsh Disestablishment and Irish Land Bills.

“William! ahoy!”

138

A genial allusion to the many changes which had marked Mr. Chamberlain’s political career.

Colonel Saunderson, Mr. Healy, and Mr. Lecky had united in supporting the Irish Local Government Bill, which assigned £700,000 a year to Ireland.

Bull-Baiting

151

Sympathy for the Costers had led to the rejection of a municipal bye-law for the repression of street shouting.

Khartoum!

A Fixture

160

Diogenes-Morley

163

Mr. Morley was one of the few who remained faithful to the traditions of the old Liberal Party.

164

Parliament had been prorogued, and the Government would in the interim, it was thought, have a free hand in the South African and other questions.

Open at Last!

165

The Russians had made Talien-Wan a free port. There had been some doubt as to Russia’s intentions.

Plain English

“Mr. Punch” here expresses his good wishes for the success of the Paris Exhibition, which was shortly to be opened.

The Avenger!

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
