No. 10. “The Dainty Dish.”
Reading edition
A note here is perhaps superfluous. The faces of the “blackbirds” in the “pie” are those of Hon. M. Langevin (a prominent member of the Macdonald government), Sir Hugh Allan, Jas. A. Beaty, Esq. (to represent The Leader), Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir Francis Hincks, “Uncle Sam,” and T. C. Patteson, Esq. (representing The Mail newspaper.) On Messrs. Blake and Mackenzie devolved the task of presenting the savoury dish before Parliament.
August 9th, 1873.
