In 1894, T Marchant Williams published a book containing pictures and biographies of all the Welsh Liberal MPs of the time, 34 in all. Those were the days. The book was published by Daniel Owen of Cardiff. The portraits are black and white drawings by Wil Morgan similar in style to those published in Vanity Fair, with accompanying 'biographical' stories of each MP.

A copy has now become available for sale at £50. Arrangements to view the book in London can be made. If you are interested in buying this book, please contact Graem Peters by email at: graempeters@hotmail.com
