'The Red-Tape Tangle', 1888. Artist: Joseph Swain
'The Red-Tape Tangle', 1888. The Great British Lion roars out his distress, tied down as he is by red tape and officialdom. There were many complaints at the time that the increasing amount of red tape was preventing progress, both on a national and local level. From Punch, or the London Charivari, June 16, 1888.
