Légende

'Pro Ar(e)is Et Focis', 1872. A disgusted housemaid shuts the gate to the basement kitchen to the local bobby. There had been a rash of strikes during the year including bakers and carpenters. This particular strike was called by the Metropolitan Police who took action after the dismissal of a man called Goodchild who had been agitating on behalf of the police for increased pay. The other strike referred to in the cartoon was the one taken by workers at the London Gasworks who were taking action following the dismissal of a union worker. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 30, 1872.
