John Bull stands in the “House of Lords,” looking over a curtain at an old man wearing a crown and robe, clutching a large book labeled “Mediæval Traditions of the British Peerage” and a large scroll of paper labeled “Hereditary Right to Obstruct Popular Legislation.” At his feet are papers labeled “Peoples’ Measures.” Caption: John Bull–Roseberry [sic] says he can be mended, but I guess he’d better be ended!
