| Summary: | Colour lithographic poster featuring Henry Campbell-Bannerman [issued during the 1906 general election] depicted as a disgruntled gardener, watering flower pots labelled 'Reduced Taxation' and 'Strong Navy' - the plants that grow within those pots are dying while the plants in the flowers pots labelled 'Imperial Disunion' and 'Home Rule' [with the faces of leprechauns present within irises] appear to be thriving, as are weeds and ivy labelled 'Godless Education' where 'Crime', 'Atheism' and 'Depravity' bloom. A building labelled 'Radical Conservatory' can be seen in the left background, while at right a hedge labelled 'Radical Progress' grows. Adjacent to this, a sapling labelled 'Social Reform' has been planted. An alert black cat is depicted perched on a wall in the background, observing the scene. The designer, etcher and cartoonist George Frederick Arthur Belcher, R.A., was a regular contributor to the 'Tatler', 'Vanity Fair' and [from 1911 onwards] 'Punch'. |
