Theoriginal sketch of this cartoon was finished by Tenniel as a. WILLIAM BLUEBEARD. My first two wives are dead. Take care,Hohenlohe, lest the same fate overtake La Silhouette {Paris). commission from Lord Rosebery, who gave it to picture is said to have pleased both the Emperor and thePrince.

Not only in England, but on the Con-tinent and in this country, the press was full of jibes andbanter at the Princes expense. The German comic paper, CENTURY IN CARICATURE 295 Ulk, suggested pictorially a new coat-of-arms for his RoyalHighness in which various playing cards, dice, and chips weremuch in evidence.
