Pat’s Patent Life-Protector
John Gordon Thomson (1841-1911)
Fun (21 January 1880): 35
“Dedicated to the Cowards of Knockbrickard” [See accounts of ‘Disturbances in Ireland’ on Jan. 10.]”
Like many cartoons in both Fun and Punch, this one depicts Ireland as a beautiful, vulnerable young woman and those who commit violence in Ireland as subhuman.
