Coloured etching, sheet 125 x 315mm (5 x 12½"). Folded as issued. Small holes where previously bound.
This cartoon is based on a humorous prophecy that has become false with time. An imagined excerpt from the Times on April 1, 1878, serves as the main piece in the second section of the "Pocketbook."

Banners at back, women police officers to the right. Several women make suggestions to the candidate. The title page features a sitting female speaker gazing forward while wearing a wig, on a table rests the mace. The first female politican to take up her seat was Lady Astor in 1919.

The Young Politicians. 112
[after Abraham Bloemaert.]
Printed for Carington Bowles, No. 69 in St Pauls Church Yard London. [n.d., c.1762.]
Mezzotint, platemark 145 x 115mm (5¾ x 4½"). Trimmed to plate. Small tear top left
Two boys consult No. 45 of 'The North Briton' (the political weekly founded in 1762 to attack the ministry of George III's Scottish favourite, Lord Bute). This issue of the magazine is particularly famous as it spawned a number of court cases and led to '45' becoming a popular slogan for liberty in the 18th century. In this issue, Wilkes criticized a speech made by George III following the Treaty of Paris which ended the Seven Years' War. After Wilkes was arrested and the paper seized, he challenged the decision and won his case. His courtroom speeches started the 'Wilkes and Liberty' cry. This print in fact derives from a 17th century composition by Abraham Bloemaert of two boys singing from a songsheet!
