Lloyd George stands in a striped jacket, holding a sign that reads 'I stand before you as a Liberal Tory Anything' against a bold yellow background. Behind him looms a massive elephant marked 'WASTE', while various animals bearing banners for 'Liberal', 'Conservative', 'Excuses', and 'New Ways' crowd the composition.

Designed by David Low for The Evening Star between 1920-1922, this cartoon became one of the most pointed criticisms of Lloyd George's coalition government. Low had arrived in London from Australia in 1919 and quickly established himself as the paper's most incisive political commentator through his satirical depictions of the Liberal-Conservative coalition.

The cartoon depicts the political opportunism that characterised the post-war coalition period. Lloyd George, despite being a Liberal Party member, relied heavily on Conservative support to maintain power, leading to accusations of abandoning his radical principles for political expediency.

Reproduced as an archival print on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper, this piece appeals to collectors of political ephemera and those interested in the graphic design of political commentary from Britain's interwar period.
