Magnificent example of this colourful and fascinating museum piece (22cm x 17cm x 14cm). Each panel has a separate illustration which carries political meaning. These include "Mr & Mrs Gladstone at Home"; "A Poltical Cricketer"; "Politicians on the Switchback" - Mr Tim Healy & Mr Parnell on a car labelled 'Home Rule' and Mr Simead Bartlett & Lord Randolph Churchill on one named 'Union'; "Lord Hartington en route from Hardwick to Chatsworth"; "Lady Randolph Churchill is called for"; "Truth and Temperance". The tin is in fine condition, with a separate internal lid.
