"Mr. Gladstone and his Clerks" is a political cartoon by the English caricaturist Tom Merry, which was published in the 'St. Stephen's Review Presentation Cartoon' on May 1, 1886. This satirical piece of art reflects the political climate of the time, featuring William Ewart Gladstone, who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the leader of the Liberal Party. Gladstone, known for his reformist policies and influential oratory skills, is depicted in the cartoon alongside his clerks, representing his cabinet or party members.

The cartoon is emblematic of the period's political cartoons, which were a potent medium for commentary and often swayed public opinion. Tom Merry, whose real name was William Mecham, was a prominent caricaturist known for his distinctive style and for capturing the essence of British politics and society during the late 19th century. His work in 'St. Stephen's Review', a weekly political magazine, contributed to the vibrant tradition of British satirical art.

"Mr. Gladstone and his Clerks" captures a moment in British political history, providing insight into the issues and personalities of the day through the lens of Merry's sharp wit. The cartoon not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to the power of visual satire in the political discourse of Victorian Britain. As with many political cartoons of the era, it would have been consumed by an audience keenly aware of the political nuances and personalities being lampooned, offering a snapshot of the public dialogue and sentiment surrounding Gladstone's tenure and policies.
