| Summary | "M.P.'s in Session: From Mr. Punch's Parliamentary Portrait Gallery" by Harry Furniss is a political satire collection presented in the form of illustrated caricatures and commentary. Written during the late 19th century, this book captures the whimsical yet critical take on British politicians and parliamentary proceedings of the era. It serves as a reflection of the political climate and public sentiment, revealing the personalities of various Members of Parliament through humor and artistic expression. The book features a series of illustrations that depict notable British political figures, complemented by humorous captions that offer insights into their public personas and political actions. Each caricature highlights the traits, quirks, and mannerisms of politicians like W.E. Gladstone, Henry Labouchere, and Joseph Chamberlain, among others.
