Keys to History
The legend of this cartoon sufficiently explains its import. The facetious occupation of the Clown had its analogue in the course pursued by the "Globe" during the "Scandal" excitement- an eager desire to see the hero of the business unseated. (Excerpt from: Bengough, John Wilson. A Caricature History of Canadian Politics: Events from the Union of 1841, as Illustrated by Cartoons from "Grip", and Various Other Sources. Toronto: The Grip Printing and Publishing Co, 1886.)
Cartoon originally published in Grip, July 26th, 1873
