| Summary: | Published during the land war in Ireland, Erin is bound by the belt of "coercion" and is flogged by two Orangemen (one wearing a crown). The whips used by the Orangemen bear the words "Bigotry" and "Eviction". Gladstone in the background walks off with "constitution" under his arm. This cartoon is a reference to the relief mission composed of Orangemen recruited to save the crops of Captain Boycott..ss |
