EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Benjamin Disraeli, a prominent British Conservative statesman from the 19th century. Known for his eloquence and wit, Disraeli's influence on English politics was profound. The image showcases him during a significant moment in history - after delivering a speech to the Oxford Union during a heated debate on evolution. The cartoon by John Tenniel, published in "Punch" magazine in December 1864, perfectly encapsulates Disraeli's stance on this contentious issue. With an air of confidence and determination, he proclaims himself to be "on the side of the Angels". This phrase not only reflects his religious beliefs but also symbolizes his unwavering support for traditional values amidst growing scientific advancements. Disraeli's political career was marked by his conservative ideology and commitment to preserving Britain's heritage. As one of the key figures in Parliament at that time, he played an instrumental role in shaping policies that reflected these principles. His opposition to Darwinism showcased his resistance towards embracing radical ideas that challenged established norms. This print serves as a reminder of Disraeli's enduring legacy as both a skilled orator and influential politician. It offers us a glimpse into an era where science clashed with tradition, highlighting how individuals like Disraeli navigated through such debates while leaving their mark on history.
