One of many indications of Pitt's unpopularity. Fox and Sheridan kneel on a rope attached to the neck of a mangy dog with the head of Pitt. The rope, inscribed 'Vox Popula' [sic], runs over a pulley attached to a gibbet, from which Pitt is suspended. The upright of the gibbet is National support, the horizontal 'Excise Office', and a cross-beam forming a triangle with the other two is 'Cross Post'. Pitt's head is much caricatured, his body is almost bare and his tail hairless; to each hind leg is tied a bottle, one: 'Sherry', labelled 'additional Duty', the other: 'Port', labelled 'New Duty'. On the ground (left) a dog with the head of Dundas, a tartan across his shoulders and a kettle inscribed 'not my Dog' tied to his tail, runs off in the direction of a signpost pointing 'To Edinburgh'. Sheridan (left), who is well dressed, says, "A good way to save the Duty". Fox wears a waistcoat with a tattered shirt and breeches, but has a neatly powdered wig. He says: "I suppose he catch'd the Mange from the Dun Dog".

Tom Merry. Del et Lith.
Coloured lithograph. 374 x 545mm (14¾ x 21½"). Vertical fold down the middle, as issued. A few small tears to edges
An attack on Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-98, Liberal Prime Minister but here Leader of the Opposition), whose father, Sir John Gladstone, had been one of the largest slave owners in the British Empire. Earlier in his career he was an opponent of the abolition of slavery, saying that emancipation should only happen after the moral education of the slaves. Here the suggestion is that the morals of the Gladstone family also needed attention, with the black workers on Gladstone's estates having a family resemblence. Tom Merry's wicked caricature published in 4 February 1888, of the Hawarden Wood Block Estate Company, where Gladstone sets his ‘Demarara cousins’ to work. William Mecham (1853-1902) had a music hall act in which he drew caricatures at lighning speed. 'St Stephen's Review', a Conservative weekly magazine, ran from 1883 to 1892.
