Rugby and Music

This young boy epitomizes our Welsh ambivalent love for both rugby and music. This place, Pant-y-Wean, was once, in the 1930s, voted the most Beautiful Village in South Wales, but it has long since been obliterated by opencast mining. When I asked what he was doing, he replied, "My mother gave it to me to mend."  Photograph & Text: Philip Jones Griffiths. 1961

The Plumb Pudding

The Plumb-pudding in danger, or, State epicures taking and petit souper. The great Globe itself and all that inherit [sic], is too small to satisfy such insatiable appetites.

SUMMARY: William Pitt, wearing a regimental uniform and hat, sitting at a table with Napoleon. They are each carving a large plum pudding on which is a map of the world. Pitt's slice is considerably larger than Napoleon's. 

By British caricaturist James Gillray. Etching, hand-colored.
