“Ireland’s Opportunity

Ireland’s Opportunity

Signed “WW”

Fun (22 June 1867): 47

Erin (to Mercy): —“Sure it’s mighty kind, of my sister England — but I hope it’s not all she’s going to do for me!” [And perhaps if England would do her justice, we should hear no more of disaffection.]”

The editorial addition makes clear that this not very capable cartoonist is very much pro-Ireland.
