The Rt. Hon. John Bright M.P. / Cartoons from the Collection of "Mr. Punch"

by Various

No. 27.

CARTOON.—DECEMBER 29, 1866.

THE FESTIVE SEASON.

(A Pleasant, but we fear a somewhat Improbable, Picture.)

Mr. B * * * * *, M.P. “I shay Lowe, old f’la, lesh shwear ’ternal fr’en’ship!”

Mr. L * * *, M.P. “All right, Johnny. Been boshe in the wrong.”

Not so improbable after all. Within two years from this date Messrs. Bright and Lowe were colleagues in the same Cabinet.—1866.
