Description: Shows Prime Minister Richard Seddon riding a toy hobby horse, while premiers of Australian states try to persuade him to take the seat labelled New Zealand, beside them on top of the elephant of "Federated Australia". Extended Title - N. S. Wales - You are a Federationist in heart and spirit, Mr Seddon, so you might just as well dismount from that hobby-horse, and take your seat behind me without any further nonsense. Besides, it is better to be a live ass than a dead lion. The Only Seddon - Not I, my lord. My mount may be a small one now, but he will grow apace, and, in the meantime, I prefer to be a ruler even in this modest way to taking the back seat you offer me.
