A series of political cartoons that appeared in the Johannesburg Star during the six months January to June 1907, during which time the Transvaal Colony was working toward Responsible Government. Includes a complete portrait gallery of the Transvaal Parliament.

A knowledge of political events in South Africa immediately after the Anglo-Boer war is perhaps obscure to the modern reader, but even just a cursory glance at Holland's cartoons will immediately give context to the issues of the day.
