Tom Merry political cartoon - Shooting Party 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).
