'The Chichester Extinguisher', 1868. This cartoon depicts the Bishop of Chichester berating his ritualist parson. The parson is wearing ornate vestments and is burning incense, both of which would outrage a Low Church Anglican bishop. This was still a time when Britain was wary about allowing any ritual in the Anglican Church that would smack of Catholicism. From Punch, or the London Charivari, October 24, 1868.
