Framed Print of A Difficult Part, 1881. Artist: Joseph Swain
The Liberal Prime Minister, William Gladstone, is shown standing beside a table loaded with all the matters he must deal with during his term in office. Many of them relate to his predecessors time in office. This cartoon was prompted by the Boer War which started under Disraelis government. An armistice had been agreed recently, but in the House, Gladstone explained that although he, and many other Liberals, had opposed the annexation of the Transvaal, he could not see a way in which to reverse the action. He tried to reassure the House that the Government could fulfil its obligations as laid out in the Queens Speech. This had stated the governments intention of pursuing military measures to reinforce the Royal authority, a statement which hardly accorded with the recently declared armistice. From Punch, or the London Charivari, March 19, 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector / Heritage-Images
