The Horatius Cocles Touch by Leonard Raven Hill, 24 December 1924, showing Austen Chamberlain clad in armour on his return to the Foreign Office following a trip to Rome. Photograph from a line drawing originally printed in the Punch and London Charivari periodical in 1924. This is a good example of the skilful artists and the humour and satire of the time.
