Director
Francis Carruthers Gould (1844-1925) was a caricaturist and political cartoonist who founded the monthly 'Picture Politics' in 1894. He was never savage in his cartoons, as he claimed 'I etch with vinegar, not vitriol'. See Vic Schuler, Collecting British Toby Jugs (1994), pp.167-8 for other examples and a discussion of the group. A similar group was sold by Bonhams on 18 May 2016, lot 426.
Please note that the jug held by Admiral Jellicoe is inscribed 'Dread-nought Draught' as opposed to the more usual 'HELL FIRE JACK'.
