- Description
At a prize-giving ceremony a 'Roads Scholarship' is being presented to William Stanley Goosman by William Stanley Goosman wearing an academic gown printed with the words 'Min. of Works' and a mortar board. A man in the audience (also William Stanley Goosman') who has the words 'Min. of State Hydro Electricity' printed on his jacket claps and yells 'Bravo Stan!' Overseeing the distribution of prizes is Minister of Education Ronald Algie in academic gown and mortar board who checks a scroll entitled 'Police Commission'. Context - The awarding of portfolios at the beginning of the new National government in 1949. The portfolio for public works and transport was held by William Stanley Goosman. Goosman was Minister of Works, Transport, Railways and Marine in the first Holland government from 1949 to 1954 and continued in Holland's second ministry as Minister of Works and Transport. The cartoon probably dates from the beginning of the first ministry in 1949.
