Re: ' Burra Dick ' - not the most flattering caricature that one will come across. ' Spy ' - of course - was the pseudonym of Sir Leslie Ward , who published thousands of similar drawings throughout the late-Victorian/ Edwardian period. His illustrations remain popular to this day - one will often find them tucked away in the dusty corners of antique shops or decorating the walls in a certain type of restaurant or pub in the U.K. (and elsewhere, no doubt).

Is this Sir RC Temple (Richard Carnac Temple)?

Francis Neelam: This is the British colonial administrator and politician NOT the nineteenth century writer on India and Burma. The Wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Richard_Temple,_1st_Baronet
