This work is a series of satirical cartoons, containing controversial topics of the time. Illustrated with eleven plates and numerous in-text illustrations. Written and illustrated by Cynicus, the pseudonym of Martin Anderson. Cynicus was a Scottish artist and political cartoonist. Eden Phillpotts was an English author and poet, being a very prolific writer.
