Matt Morgan
Fun (3 September 1864)
Derby: — “Well, Benjamin, what hopes of sport?”
Ben. (Head Keeper): — “Well, Me Lord, birds are rather shy. One or two have flown over from old Pam’s residence; but that ain’t much to reckon on.”
The cartoonist portrays Disraeli dressed as a gamekeeper informing Lord Derby that a few of Lord Palmerston’s allies have come over to them, but that will not be enough to carry the day. — George P. Landow
