'Neighbours In Council', 1869. France and Britannia were each facing their problems, although, as is often the case, France is depicted as a weaker version of Britannia, constantly being corrected or seeking advice from her stronger sister. The Fenian movement was causing real anxiety with its constant threats of violence and the demands for the release of the 'Manchester martyrs' - prisoners who had been involved in the bombings at the end of the previous year. Britannia prepares to go into battle. France was concerned with the 'Irreconcilables', particularly M Rochefort. He had lately been arrested, but was now released on the orders of the Emperor. From Punch, or the London Charivari, December 11, 1869.
