'A Dead Calm', 1862.
'A Dead Calm', 1862. Palmerston steers the ship of government at a time of dead calm. As he whistles for a wind, Earl Russell (at the front right) says he would be better employed spinning a yarn. This can be said to relate to the spinning of yarns by sailors, or the telling of stories generally. Right back on the horizon can be seen the gathering clouds of a storm labelled Education. From Punch, or the London Charivari, March 22, 1862.
