First edition. A single sheet measuring 27cm x 22cm. Folded once, with some tenderness to the fold, and the paperstock a little toned, marked, spotted and brittle. Some further soiling to the unprinted reverse. Above the title is a black and white cartoon of two ghostly British officers from the Boer War ("Ghosts of the British Dead"), alongside the skeleton of a third. One figure points at a line of Chinese labourers and is allocated the quotation "Look there, Bill, that's what you and I and twenty thousand others died for" (this in reference to a labour shortage at the gold mines on the Rand [a result of the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 displacing large numbers of the indigenous population] which resulted in the importation of Chinese labour in 1904). The cartoon was originally printed in a January 1904 issue of the British newspaper 'Morning Leader' and is reproduced here as #234 of the National Reform Union Leaflets.
