By now there was round the clock security in place for many government figures, so the Bill went through virtually unopposed. In his speech, Sir William praised the courage and dedication of the police force. From Punch, or the London Charivari, April 21, 1883

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Police Intelligence, 1883" captures a significant moment in history. The artwork, created by Joseph Swain and John Tenniel, depicts the Liberal Home Secretary, Sir William Harcourt, accepting Mr Punch's salute. In the background stands a line of brave British policemen, symbolizing their dedication and courage. The context surrounding this image is crucial to understanding its significance. In April 1883, Sir William introduced the Explosive Substances Bill after Irish American activists attempted to blow up The Times offices. This incident led to heightened security measures for government figures around the clock. Sir William's bill passed with little opposition due to the urgent need for increased security against terrorism. His speech praised the police force for their unwavering commitment and bravery in protecting the country. The cartoon-like portrayal adds an element of satire and caricature to highlight both political activism and tensions between Ireland and America during that time period. The monochrome engraving further emphasizes the historical nature of this image from the 19th century. Overall, this print serves as a testament to law enforcement's vital role in safeguarding society against threats while also shedding light on political dynamics during that era. It showcases not only artistic talent but also provides valuable insight into an important chapter in history.
