Summary: | Date in pencil on verso. Caption reads: Lloyd George: "Don't be a fool, Jimmy. Throw that bundle over the cliff and try this balancing pole. If you don't you'll either overbalance or break the rope." Illustration depicts James Craig attempting to cross a rope that connects Ireland to England; the rope is knotted to read the word "Peace" in the middle. The word "Abyss" is written across the sea between the two countries. Craig carries a large sack on his back that reads "Orange Hatred". On the other side of the abyss [England], David Lloyd George attempts to give Craig a balancing pole that reads "Ireland's Real Interests". |
