| Description | This cartoon depicts Harold Wilson, Edward Heath and Jeremy Thorpe as magicians. Harold Wilson reveals a dove hiding under Edward Heath's hat and declares, "Ahah! Note something our friend has been overlooking all the time!" However, Edward Heath also reveals another dove hiding in Harold Wilson's pockets and retorts "But, see what I would have produced earlier, had our friend here co-operated!" To the right Jeremy Thorpe holds a sign that reads, "I am always ready to assist in any genuine magic"
There is also a rough sketch on the reverse side for a different cartoon. This cartoon also features Harold Wilson, Edward Heath and Jeremy Thorpe heading towards a bridge with a [tower] at the end of it. Edward Heath is running to the bridge, but Harold Wilson is leaping over him and Jeremy Thorpe is attempting to pole vault over both. A man sits at the top of the [tower] on the other side of the bridge. |
