Description

W H Smith as First Lord of the Admiralty, was a subject of derision even before H.M.S. Pinafore. This Punch cartoon comes from a year before Pinafore's première.

The Caption reads:
Admiral Superintendent Punch. "Well, Mr. Smith, I believe you have now seen everything—armour, turrets, torpedoes—everything! Of course you understand it all!!"
First Lord. "Quite so, thank you. At least I—" (A little "queer.") "If you don't mind, I think I'll now go below."

"The Lords of the Admiralty arrived at Portsmouth on their annual tour of inspection." — Morning Paper
