Scope and content
A disturbed looking Margaret Thatcher lies awake in bed. In a dream bubble above her Sir Anthony Meyer is in pantomime dress as the bottom half of a horse. He is holding the front end of the horse costume with a sign in its mouth reading 'Wanted! Somebody more up-front'. The dream is set on a racehorse track with the banner 'Leadership Stakes'.
Context: In November 1989 Meyer stood unsuccessfully against Thatcher for Conservative leadership. (source Guardian obituary published 8 January 2009).
