'The Last Man on the Tichborne Jury'

'The Last Man on the Tichborne Jury'


A carte-de-visite showing a cartoon by George Cruikshank satirising the 1871 trial of the Tichborne Claimant and the length of time — 102 days — for which it ran. The joke continues on the back of the mount, which is a spoof extract supposedly from The Times in 1930, written as if the trial were still ongoing some 60 years later.

Produced by the London Stereoscopic Company from a cartoon by George Cruikshank.

Entered at Stationers' Hall [as part of the copyright process] on 1 December 1871.
