Cartoon, A Trump with all the Honours; or, Killing Two Birds with One Blow. A satirical comment on General Sir Robert Napier's successful campaign in Ethiopia (Abyssinia) to rescue British subjects imprisoned by King Theodore (Tewodros). Disraeli gains mileage from the victory to trumpet his Tory government, as the Conservative government had supported the mission, whereas the Liberals had been against it.
