(Original Caption) 1895: A political cartoon showing an Englishman (John Bull), carrying a huge bag labeled, "England's commercial interests in the Orient." He watches as a Turkish sultan threatens a woman representing Armenia. She pleads for help from the Englishman but John Bull is unsure of what to do. The cartoon is titled, "John Bull hated to drop his bundle. That's why the Turks always laughed at the idea of Christian retribution."
