'The Not-At-All-At-Home Secretary', 1887. The Home Secretary on the left is attempting to involve himself in a meeting being held in Trafalgar Square. The meeting was a working-class rally being held in protest at rising numbers of the unemployed. Originally banned, the Home Secretary had then apparently changed his mind and had overruled the decision of the police. Therefore, the police were now involved in a battle with the rally's supporters. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 5, 1887.
