These five Toby jugs depict King George V, Lord Kitchener, Field Marshal Haig, Admiral Beatty and Marshal Foch. They belong to a set of 11 jugs of the Allied Commanders of the First World War which were made by Wilkinson using designs by Sir Francis Carruthers Gould (1844-1925). Gould was a caricaturist hired by the Pall Mall Gazette in 1887 and he was the first political cartoonist working for a daily newspaper.
Provenance
Formed part of King George V's War Museum at Windsor Castle, established to display his collection of First World War souvenirs; the King was assisted by the Royal Archivist & Librarian John Fortescue (1859-1933). Many of these objects were loaned to the Imperial War Museum in 1936 at the suggestion of King Edward VIII.
