Sooner or Later; or, What it must come to mb-artistname George Bernard O'Neill from the original picture in'Sooner or Later; or, What it must come to', 1867. A costermonger plies his trade on the streets of London. This cartoon relates to the clampdown on cheating bookmakers who had until now been making a very tidy living out of fleecing green young men. Punch reports many bookmakers were moved off and some were imprisoned. Despite the huge sums that many made out of their victims, none of them was able to find the ready cash to meet their liabilities.
