Musical Punch

La Folie Musicale is a satirical drawing published in Punch in 1874. The theme is musical but the politics, at least at this resolution, is obscure.

La Folie Musicale Punch, Vol. LXVI, September 19, 1874 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Punch-Cartoon-1874-034-LA-FOLIE-MUSICALE-034-/170594512303?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=UB68sj2DvLx%252F9kdb54zXrlCgzYs%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Mr. Punch is depicted as an English knight on the title page of this 1874 volume:
