Summary

Illustration shows William E. Gladstone dressed as an old woman wearing keys labeled "Suez, Gibraltor, [and] Herat", pushing John Bull into a kissing embrace with Tsar Nicholas II who is, likewise, being pushed by a woman labeled "Empress of Russia". They are suspended over a thin crevice emitting smoke as though it was a volcano about to erupt; a cut-away view shows a munitions foundry just below the surface of the ground, furiously producing ordnance.

Illus. from Puck, v. 17, no. 427, (1885 May 13), centerfold.
