    beachcomber australia I did not say that you can only have one quote, quote an much as you would like!

    "To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less."

    There was a Mary Sutton living in Nooke(Nuke) in 1926.
    Perhaps this a print of a photo taken of her husband Timothy 28 taken around WW1 time??
    (Note in Poole Index Book: says 'Copy'.)

    The image is a caricature of Richard Pigott, an Irish journalist and forger, published in Vanity Fair on March 9, 1889. The caricature was drawn by Leslie Ward, known by his pseudonym "Spy".
    Richard Pigott (1828–1889) was a prominent figure in the Irish press and politics of his time, known for his involvement in the Pigott Forgeries.
    The Pigott Forgeries were a series of forged letters published in The Times newspaper in 1887, falsely implicating Charles Stewart Parnell, leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, in the Phoenix Park Murders.
    Exposure: Pigott was exposed as the forger during a special commission established to investigate the letters, admitting his role under cross-examination.
    Aftermath: The exposure led to a libel settlement against The Times and significantly impacted Pigott's reputation and life.

    Suck Diesel Very interesting. I suppose we would say fake news today!
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Sir Leslie Matthew Ward (21 November 1851 – 15 May 1922), was himself caricatured. Artistic justice!

    Sadly Mr Pigott committed suicide in Madrid in 1889. (I had a fleeting thought he might be the 'Fat Controller' in yesterday's photo!)
