Sir William Watson (1858-1935), English poet, 1904. Watson was popular in his time for the political content of his verse, hence this caricature, the inscription of which reads: William Watson, secretly ceded by the British government to Abdul Hamid. But, in the nick of time saved from the trap door. From The Poets Corner by Max Beerbohm (London, 1904).
