| Historical context | Reproduced in `Punch' 29 January 1876, p.25. During 1875, serious rebellion against the Sultan, in Bosnia and Herzogovina, had given Austria, Russia and Germany the opportunity to bring pressure on him to introduce long-promised but unfulfilled reforms. Britain reluctantly agreed to participate in the representations. For further information on the events satirised by Tenniel, see Searight Archive. |
