DescriptionCartoon of William Robertson Nicoll and Lord Northcliffe: 'Ministry of the Air"
Framed original cartoon of William Robertson Nicoll as Daedalus and Lord Northcliffe as Icarus, with Mr Asquith as Jupiter waiting to melt the wax holding Icarus's wings. The title "Ministry of the Air" evidently refers to the founding of that ministry under Lord Northliffe in 1917. Signed J.W. Phillips[?] and published [possibly in Punch].
