Hold On!, 1882. Artist: Joseph Swain
Hold On!, 1882. John Bull and a sailor struggle to manage a recalcitrant Egyptian crocodile. Lord Granville, the Liberal Foreign Secretary, and the French government had for the last few years cooperated in supervising Egyptian finances. However, nationalist resentment had sparked a rising in 1881 with many foreigners being murdered. The rebels had forced the Egyptian ruler to reject all links with European supervision. There was some dispute about the best way to deal with the matter, but the French proposed to despatch a joint English and French squadron to Alexandria. From Punch, or the London Charivari, June 10, 1882
