A scene from The Happy Land, an 1873 play by W. S. Gilbert and Gilbert Arthur à Beckett, showing the actors dressed as William Gladstone, Robert Lowe, and Acton Smee Ayrton. The play created a scandal due to its satirical portrayal of public officials, which was in violation of the rules against doing so then governing theatre in England. Illustration credit: D.H.
