French satirical cartoon - criticism of Second Boer War
French satirical cartoon - criticism of Second Boer War (1899-1902). The British army is pictured as ranks of cloned mules, being slavishly driven to a foreign conflict by an elderly Queen Victoria in a small open carriage accompanied by her son and heir, Edward, the Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII). The caption translates as: Mules recently enrolled swear loyalty to the flag
