>John Bull sitting on a rock facing a dilemma; across a narrow body of water is a man holding a sword labeled "Kurd Atrocities" and a handgun, about to strike a kneeling woman labeled "Armenia". John Bull has a bag hanging from his shoulder labeled "Turkish Revenues" containing "Turkish Bonds" and "Turkish Loans", and in his pocket is a paper labeled "Suez Canal Stock", at his feet is a cashbox labeled "£.s.d."; he is worried that if he interfers with Turkish affairs, it might jeoparize their financial relations.
