A Late Spring Cleaning Caxton Street Taken in isolation'A Late Spring Cleaning', 1887. The charwoman pumps vigorously at the barrel of disinfectant under the watchful eye of Mr Punch. The scene is, of course, the House of Commons. The behaviour of members at this time was attracting a lot of criticism, with much shouting and bad language during debates. From Punch, or the London Charivari, June 4, 1887.
