Description

This original cartoon from the British humor magazine Punch, dated June 5, 1912, is in very good condition. The caption reads:
Dr. Kitchener. ‘Now, what do you know about the Mediterranean?’ Master Churchill. ‘Well it looks a nice place for ships; but to tell you the truth we’ve been concentrating our attention on the North Sea lately, haven’t we Herbert?’ Master Asquith. “That is so.’”
It was drawn by the noted political cartoonist, L. Raven-Hill, who also illustrated STALKY AND CO. for Rudyard Kipling and KIPPS for H.G. Wells.
