Drawing depicting Prime Minister, Mr William (Billy) Hughes, gazing into an oversized mirror

Prime Minister Billy Hughes, gazing into an oversized mirror. He is wearing a top hat and a coat, while his reflection wears rough working clothes and a cap to which is attached a note: ‘Socialism! Case for Labor! Down Fat!’ The reflection points an accusing finger.

The Bulletin newspaper (established in 1880) was well-known for its political cartoons.
