Cartoon, A Friend at Court (John Bright)
Cartoon, A Friend at Court -- a satirical comment on the radical Liberal MP John Bright, a Quaker (hence the friend pun), who had recently obtained a Cabinet position (President of the Board of Trade) in the newly elected Liberal government. It was reported that he had visited Queen Victoria at Windsor and gone through the usual ceremony of kissing her hand on his appointment. He is shown here dressed in a courtly ministerial costume, as worn at the time on special occasions. Date: 1868
