                           Prefatory Note.


The present collection of Sir John Tenniel’s Cartoons is intended to be
a selection comprising the more memorable of those which have appeared
in “Punch” during the last 50 years. The first in the collection bears
the date of 1851, and the last is Sir John Tenniel’s final Cartoon in
January, 1901. Short explanatory notes have been provided, but as most
of them will, perhaps, be unnecessary to those to whom the Cartoons
themselves are familiar, they have been grouped together and combined
with the Table of Contents at the commencement of the volume, where
they can readily be referred to.

 _March, 1901._

   appeals to the unemployed.

 Salisbury Sisyphus                                                  73

   Parnell as leading the Irish Home Rule Party.

 Arbitration                                                         90
   The Americans claimed to make the Behring Sea a mare clausum,
   and it was thought advisable to establish a “close-time” for
   the seals.

 “Retire!—What do _you_ think?”                                      91
   A rumour that Mr. Gladstone was about to retire from
   political life proved to be without foundation.

 Coriolanus                                                          92

 Unarming                                                           119
   On March 1, 1894, Mr. Gladstone delivered his last speech
   in the House of Commons previous to his final retirement
   from political life.

 Lemon-Squash                                                       120
   The Chancellor of the Exchequer increased the Income Tax
   from 7_d._ to 8_d._

 “Vive la République!”                                              121
   A stringent anti-Anarchist Bill had been passed by the
   French Chamber after the assassination at Lyons of
   President Carnot.

 Jap the Giant-Killer                                               122
   In the war arising out of the Corean dispute between China
   and Japan, the Japanese forces gained easy victories, both
   on land and sea.

 “Vested Interests”                                                 123
   The House of Lords had survived the repeated attacks made
   upon it, both in the Commons and by its own Members.

 “All’s Well!”                                                      124
   The Russian Press at this time suggested that an
   Anglo-Russian understanding would be of great advantage to
   the two nations.

 The New Passenger                                                  125
   The year 1894 had been marked by many dynamite outrages on
   the Continent, and specially by the assassination of
   President Carnot. The New Year opened under brighter
   auspices.

 “Who said—‘_Atrocities_’?”                                         126
   Mr. Gladstone had expressed his strong indignation at the
   atrocities in Armenia, which had profoundly shocked the
   mind of the country.

 Silent!                                                            127
   The British occupation of Egypt still continued, the
   Egyptian Government being powerless to suppress outrages on
   Europeans in Alexandria.

 An Easter ’Oliday                                                  128
   The House of Commons had adjourned for the Easter vacation.
   Both leaders were glad of repose after the exciting debates
   on the Welsh Disestablishment and Irish Land Bills.

 “William! ahoy!”                                                   129
   The Welsh Disestablishment Bill having been warmly discussed
   in the Commons, Mr. Gladstone had withdrawn his pair with
   Mr. Villiers in order to keep “an open mind” on the question.

 The Old Crusaders!                                             130-131
   The Duke of Argyll had presided at an indignation meeting
   held in St. James’s Hall to protest against the Armenian
   atrocities.

 Old Warder William                                                 132
   After Sir William Harcourt’s defeat at Derby he was elected
   for West Monmouthshire, the Radical candidate having retired
   in his favour.

 “Just a-goin’ to Begin!”                                           133
   It was thought that in the coming Session the Jameson raid
   would bring trouble to the Ministry, but this was averted by
   the skillful management of Mr. Balfour and the Colonial
   Secretary.

 The Tug of War                                                 134-135
   On an appeal from the Uitlanders at Johannesburg, Dr.
   Jameson crossed the Transvaal frontier with an armed force.
   Mr. Chamberlain, however, intervened, and ordered him to
   retire.

 The Patient Ass                                                    136
   The Budget having shown a considerable surplus, an idea was
   prevalent that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would relieve
   the income-tax payer.

 A Turkish Bath                                                     137
   The Porte at length realised the gravity of the situation in
   Crete.

 Preparing his Speech                                               138
   A genial allusion to the many changes which had marked Mr.
   Chamberlain’s political career.

 “Turkey Limited”                                                   139
   It was reported that the Powers had considered a scheme for
   a Turkish loan, to be applied under European control to the
   cost of the Judiciary, Revenue and Police service.

 “Seaside Lodgings”                                                 140
   The Cartoon foreshadowed Russian designs upon the Chinese
   naval arsenal at Port Arthur, which in fact came into her
   possession a year later.

 The Queen’s Year!                                                  141
   In June of this year Queen Victoria celebrated her Jubilee.

 Against the Grain                                                  142
   The Cretans having revolted against Turkish misrule, Greece
   intervened with an armed force, but was ordered by the
   Allied Powers to withdraw.

 Tender Mercies!                                                    143
   The Allied Powers had decided to grant autonomy to Crete,
   but under Turkish suzerainty.

 “Who says ‘Sick Man’ now?”                                         144
   After the recall of the Greek army, the Turkish forces were
   successful in a conflict with the Cretan insurgents.

 Spithead, June 26                                                  145
   At this great Review of the Fleet there were present 165
   British war-ships. Official representatives from the various
   Colonies participated in the display.

 “For Queen and Empire!!”                                       146-147
   The Cartoon is typical of the great celebrations which
   marked the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The Colonial, Asiatic,
   and African contingents took part in the procession on June
   22.

 “Brothers in Arms”                                                 148
   A treacherous attack had been made at Maizar on the
   Political Officer’s escort. The British loss was heavy, but
   the Native Infantry behaved with the greatest gallantry.

 Saved!                                                             149
   England, Russia and France, the Powers originally
   responsible for the freedom of Greece, agreed to jointly
   guarantee a loan to that country.

 “Financial Relations”                                              150
   Colonel Saunderson, Mr. Healy, and Mr. Lecky had united in
   supporting the Irish Local Government Bill, which assigned
   £700,000 a year to Ireland.

 Bull-Baiting                                                       151
   Continental ill-feeling against Great Britain was at this
   time more than usually manifested.

 Sentinels                                                          152
   The occupation of Port Arthur by Russia seemed to leave
   Great Britain no alternative but to adopt a similar course
   with Wei-Hai-Wei.

 The Duello                                                         153
   The United States, on account of Spanish misrule in Cuba,
   had declared war against Spain.

 Bismarck                                                       154-155
   Prince Bismarck, the great Chancellor of the German Empire,
   died on July 30, 1898.

 Honour à la Russe                                                  156
   When the Russians occupied Talien-Wan it was understood
   that it was to be a free port.

 Our Masters’ Masters                                               157
   Sympathy for the Costers had led to the rejection of a
   municipal bye-law for the repression of street shouting.

 Khartoum!                                                      158-159
   Khartoum was captured by the Mahdi on Jan. 26, 1885, and
   General Gordon assassinated. On Sept. 2, 1898, General
   Kitchener annihilated the Khalifa’s army and re-entered the
   town.

 A Fixture                                                          160
   The conquest of the Soudan seemed to indicate a permanence
   of the British occupation of Egypt.

 Under the Mistletoe                                                161
   Sir William Harcourt had written to Mr. John Morley
   announcing his retirement from the leadership of the Liberal
   Party.

 A New Year’s Greeting                                              162
   Thanks to Mr. Henneker Heaton, some of the Colonies had
   accepted the principle of an International Penny Postage.

 Diogenes-Morley                                                    163
   Mr. Morley was one of the few who remained faithful to the
   traditions of the old Liberal Party.

 A Free Hand!                                                       164
   Parliament had been prorogued, and the Government would in
   the interim, it was thought, have a free hand in the South
   African and other questions.

 Open at Last!                                                      165
   The Russians had made Talien-Wan a free port. There had been
   some doubt as to Russia’s intentions.

 Plain English                                                      166
   The Transvaal Government had sent an insolent Ultimatum to
   Great Britain, requiring the withdrawal within forty-eight
   hours of the British forces from the Boer frontiers.

 Who said “Dead”?                                                   167
   On Feb. 27, 1900, the anniversary of the Majuba Hill
   disaster, General Cronje surrendered to General Roberts.

 Full of Resource                                                   168
   The Chancellor of the Exchequer had announced in his Budget
   speech that he hoped to recover a large proportion of the
   war expenses by taxation of the Transvaal.

 Good Wishes!                                                       169
   “Mr. Punch” here expresses his good wishes for the success
   of the Paris Exhibition, which was shortly to be opened.

 The Avenger!                                                   170-171
   Thrilling details had been published of the reported
   massacre of the British and Foreign Ministers in Pekin.
   Happily this proved to be unfounded.

 The Imperial Dispensary                                            172
   Great satisfaction was felt in the Colonies at the
   introduction by Mr. Chamberlain of his Commonwealth of
   Australia Bill.

 Shifting his Capital                                               173
   President Kruger had abandoned Pretoria on the near approach
   of the British forces, taking with him, it was reported,
   bullion to the value of £2,000,000.

 In the Movement                                                    174
   On the advance of the Allied troops to Pekin the Empress and
   the Chinese Court had fled to the interior.

 Reporting Himself                                                  175
   The City of London Imperial Volunteers met with an
   enthusiastic reception in the City and elsewhere on their
   return from South-Africa.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in

the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
