This engraving captures the essence of Honourable Evelyn Ashley, MP, as he assumes his role as the First-Class Chairman of the Railway Rates and Fares Committee. Created by an anonymous 19th-century English artist, this satirical cartoon was featured in Punch magazine on April 9,1881. With a touch of humor and wit, this caricature showcases Ashley's comical demeanor and his ability to navigate through the complexities of railway rates with ease. The artist skillfully portrays him in a light-hearted manner that is both amusing and entertaining. As we delve into this satirical drawing, we witness Ashley's larger-than-life presence as he takes charge of the committee. His exaggerated features and animated gestures add to the overall comedic effect. This image serves not only as a visual delight but also offers scathing satire on political figures during that era.
