Political cartoon by Tom Merry 1887
This double-page coloured lithograph THE GLADSTONIAN SHOOTING PARTY is from St Stephen?s review by Tom Merry (the pseudonym of William Mecham). Merry was a cartoonist and political satirist who created the centrespread, in colour, for The St Stephen’s Review, a weekly magazine of political comment published from 1883 to 1892. Its market was conservative, projecting a unionist viewpoint with an emphasis towards the empire and the establishment. It attacked anything that was perceived as a threat to the social and political order, depicting Parnell and Gladstone as dangerous radicals and the caricatures reflect this. Size: 21in x 14in (51cm x 36cm).
Condition: Excellent condition with minor repaired tears – please review the images carefully
