'The Waits', 1885. The shadowy figures drinking a toast are Lord Salisbury (right) and Lord Randolph Churchill. Outside are the Liberal's Joseph Chamberlain, William Forster, Sir William Harcourt and their leader, William Gladstone. The recent General Election had left the Conservatives with a minority government but they had decided to retain office. However, the Liberals are waiting. From "Punch, or the London Charivari", December 26, 1885.
