This is a print by Spy, a British artist known for his caricatures. Made around the late 19th to early 20th century, it’s a full-length political cartoon. The print appeared as a supplement to *The World* magazine. Spy often poked fun at public figures in his work. Here, he’s drawing attention to H.G. Pélissier, likely mocking his style or reputation.
