- Description
The title in pencil below is 'Start of the political stunt season'. Sid Holland, leader of the National Party, has tried to do a series of somersaults and ends up crashing painfully onto the mat. Nearby PM Peter Fraser (standing on one hand) and Finance Minister, Walter Nash, do competent gymnastic exercises and the PM says (referring to Sid Holland's crash) 'I believe he calls it the 'No confidence motion'. Context - the run up to the 1949 election which was won comfortably by National.
The title 'Start of the political stunt season' is at the bottom. Scribbled in blue ink are the words 'Cancelled' (why?) Was it because Labour lost and this cartoon shows them pretty confident? Also text '4 col Stipple over carpet'.
