Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this comic illustration was originally published in Punch magazine on January 8,1881.

With its scathing satire, this satirical cartoon offers a witty commentary on historical events. Through this print, viewers are invited to delve into both history and humor simultaneously. It serves as an educational tool that provides insight into past political dynamics while entertaining us with its funny portrayal of King James II's plight.
