Title:
The Irish Potato Famine.
Caption:
A cartoon commenting on the Irish Potato Famine. England, epitomised by John Bull, taking bread to the starving Irish peasants. The potatoes on which the Irish country people depended, had been destroyed by potato blight (Phytophthora Infestans), a fungal infection spread by aphids. The infection remained in the soil which meant the staple diet could not be grown. Dated 19th century.
