Dominion Day cartoon
In this Dominion Day cartoon, Blomfield draws Prime Minister Joseph Ward as a pretentious dwarf beneath a massive ‘dominion’ top hat.
The caption reads:
'The surprise packet
Canada: "Rather large for him, is it not?"
Australia: "Oh his head is swelling rapidly. The hat will soon fit."'
