29 x 37 cm b&w political cartoon on card. Corners chipped, some soiling. Newton McConnell (1877-1940) worked for the Daily News for 26 years, 15 as editorial cartoonist. He was one of the most prominent and popular cartoonists of his period and one of the first to be syndicated on a regular basis in Britain and the U.S. as well as Canada. He was also one of the first cartoonists to use a trade mark a small dog named "Spot" - often as part of the cartoon; here "Spot" appears in the background, as though avoiding the ferocious beast in the foreground. Sir Frederick Borden (1847-1917) was a physician, businessman, militia officer, and politician for whom Camp Borden was named. Here he sits on a doghouse names Militia Department to which is chained a vicious dog called Canadian Defence. Caption reads: "Sir Fred. Borden - 'The trouble is, old fellow, we don't look fierce enough for the amount of dog biscuit we have consumed.'". Seller Inventory # 142437
