(No Author Listed)

N.p. n.d. (circa 1884). 24x19", 7 cols of text w/nice giant masthead, folds, minor edge tears and wrinkling else nice and bright. Anti-Blaine articles denouncing Blaine as a "pro-British Secretary of State, as an American Flunkey".

Nice, suitable for framing.

The Irish leader, Parnell, had demanded a review of the decision to execute three Irishmen convicted of the murders. The cabinet decided to reject his call, but Hicks Beach changed his mind and offered a judicial review, thereby provoking wide dismay in the Conservative Party..." Hicks Beach went on to become Chancellor of the Exchequer and an administrator of some talent - his political alliances were weak however and lessened his chances for an expanded career. (DNB); this image from the series of biographical portraits in "Men of Mark..." by Thompson Cooper, Lock & Whitfield photographers; a few light spots to the margins, image not affected; a handsome and striking portrait of the noted British judge in very good condition.
