Légende
Safe!, 1882. John Bull, able-seaman, is shown tenderly cradling the infant Suez Canal. On the 28th July 1882, it was agreed that the Canal should operate under the joint protection of the six great European powers; Britain, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria and France. This follows an uprising in Egypt, the quashing of which had been led by the British fleet. From Punch, or the London Charivari, September 2, 1882.
