THE IRISH QUESTION in the 1880s
HOME RULE FOR IRELAND
An 1880s Puzzle Card advertising U.S. made Waterbury Watches, which were very popular in England at the time.
The puzzle represents one of the many lost opportunities in resolving the Irish Problem. On this occasion it was trying to get Lord Salisbury and Gladstone to agree on Home Rule.
The example above has a label advertising Galpin's of Norwich on the back, the one below shows the whole Waterbury advertisement.
