Subject The topic of the resource Cartoon, Fluellen, Henry V, John Bull, medieval costume, Pistol, political cartoon, politics, Shakespeare, Sir George Richard Dibbs (1834-1904), Sir Robert William Duff (1835-1895), theatre, New South Wales, NSW politics, William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898), William Shakespeare (c.1564-1616). Description An account of the resource This political cartoon by ‘Hop’ enacts a scene from William Shakespeare’s historical play, Henry V. In the scene, Fluellen the Welshman angrily berates the unfortunate Pistol, a crony of Sir John Falstaff, and forces him to eat a raw leek. The cartoon, Louise D’Arcens suggests, uses this rather cryptic information “to depict the recent appointment of the New South Wales governor Sir Robert Duff by the British Prime Minister Gladstone,” (Louise D’Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.182). The ‘leeks’ both seem equally unpalatable to the protesting recipient(s): Pistol and the Premier Sir George Dibbs respectively. The fact that Mr Gladstone and Her Majesty’s Government would appoint the next Governor without approval from the NSW Government indicates the lesson in humility that was forced upon the colony by Whitehall. Ironically, the John Bull figure holds a switch with the words ‘Silken Bond’ written upon it. This sounds suspiciously like “an iron fist in a velvet glove” rationale to contemporary ears.

Subject The topic of the resource Colonies, debt, Federation, free trade, government, internal debts, knight, Knight Henry, Phil May (1864-1903), Sir Henry Parkes, NSW Politics Description An account of the resource Cartoonist Phil May here encapsulates the main problems of a premature pitch by NSW for Australian Federation. The doughty knight (Sir Henry) is ready to do battle with ‘all and sundry,’ for he needs to pay off (or perhaps unload the responsibility of) his debts. The symbols of his fiscal carelessness are daubed on his surcoat and shield. This was a sticking point in the Federation debate, where the difficult question “Who would take responsibility for the unequal debts and liabilities of the [other] colonies?” frequently arose (See Beverley Kingston, The Oxford History of Australia: Glad, Confident Morning 1860-1900, vol. 3, Oxford: OUP, 1993, p. 56). Indeed, this question was still being debated at the 1910 elections (See, for example: <a href="http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15142572" target="_blank">http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15142572</a>). While Sir Henry is keen to push forward, the female figure in the cartoon - ‘That State House’ - wears mourning black and remains unconvinced, for it is she who will have to find the money and manage things should the need arise. The State House in question is most likely the Senate, the then much debated Upper House of the projected Federal Parliament (See R. C. Baker, Federation, Adelaide: Scrymgour & Sons, 1897, p. 4).

Title A name given to the resource â€˜Lightâ€™ Verses Subject The topic of the resource adversary, knight, lampoon, lance, Macquarie Lighthouse, NSW Politics, Port Jackson, satire, Sir Henry Parkes, Sir John Robertson, Sydney Harbour, The Bulletin, verse Description An account of the resource This poem is an example of the satirical verses published by The Bulletin to ridicule the perceived â€œopportunistic and self-servingâ€ collaborative association between former political opponents (aka â€˜rivalsâ€™), Sir Henry Parkes, and Sir John Robertson aka â€˜the Knight of Clovellyâ€™ (Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, pp.147-48). The occasion that warranted lampooning here was the inauguration of the new Macquarie lighthouse (South Head, Port Jackson). The poemâ€™s backdrop is that of two â€˜worthyâ€™ knights. Formerly bitter adversaries, they now seem â€˜reconciledâ€™ and working together for the common good, albeit at considerable expense to public funding, and to general good will, while stretching the city of Sydneyâ€™s patience to the limits.

Title A name given to the resource â€˜The Scaly Monsterâ€™ Subject The topic of the resource Alderman, â€˜Bloody Jack,â€™ boat, cartoon, democracy, E. Montague Scott (1835-1909), John McElhone (1833-1898), knight, NSW politics, political cartoon, politics, Sydney Municipal Council, respectability Description An account of the resource ‘The Scaly Monster’ drawing shows an unruffled ‘Bloody Jack’ McElhone boarding a vessel embarking for England. This feisty Sydney alderman had a reputation for forthrightness and ‘fisticuffs,’ which was not always appreciated by others. He was once referred to by Daniel O’Connor as “‘an illiterate mountebank,’ ‘a commercial Shylock,’ ‘an unscrupulous vulture,’ and ‘a political Quilp’” (See Martha Rutledge, 'McElhone, John (1833–1898)',Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, <a href="http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/mcelhone-john-4087/text6529">http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/mcelhone-john-4087/text6529</a>, accessed 11 June 2012). O’Connor had previously had a run-in with McElhone after calling him a “servile lickspittle”, for which he received a punch below the left eye. It is not entirely clear to whom or what ‘The Scaly Monster of the House’ refers when he states, “I do not care two straws what the public think. I treat the whole matter with contempt”. It is probable that the cartoonist is merely highlighting the typical McElhone response to opposition of any kind. By all accounts he was well-used to causing indignation and political controversy. He was, however, essentially an honest man who frequently asked difficult questions of the government, and as a result “exposed many public wrongs” in the process. A bearded knight charging from behind may be Sir Henry Parkes, or it could be Sir John Robertson who also sported a luxuriant beard and flowing white locks. Either way, the ‘knight’ is a representative “champion of democracy” (Marguerite Mahood,The Loaded Line: Australian Political Caricature 1788-1901,Carlton: Melbourne University Press, 1973, p.131), and a visible embodiment of political fairness and respectability.
