A photographer (might this be Trevor Lloyd?) crouches on the left taking pictures. Context: The cartoon shows a 1908 test game during the tour of New Zealand of a British team (comprising English and Welsh players). There were three tests: the All Blacks won 2 and one was drawn. Overall points were 64 for the All Blacks and 8 against. This cartoon celebrates the New Zealand victory in the third test at Auckland. New Zealand won 29-0.
