EDITORS COMMENTS
This hilarious and thought-provoking print captures the essence of political satire in the 19th century. Titled "Disraeli / Fagin / Reform," it depicts Benjamin Disraeli, also known as Dizzy, portraying the character of Fagin from Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist. In this scene, Dizzy is shown demonstrating to his young MPs how to steal ideas for reform out of the pocket of Lord John Russell.
The use of caricatures and cartoons adds a whimsical touch to this historical moment, highlighting the cleverness and wit that were often employed in political commentary during that era. The image not only pokes fun at Disraeli's tactics but also sheds light on the cutthroat nature of politics and reform efforts in 1867.
As we observe Dizzy instructing his boys on pickpocketing ideas from their opponents, we are reminded of the cunning strategies employed by politicians throughout history. This print serves as a reminder that even in times past, political maneuvering was an art form requiring skill and finesse.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured a truly unique moment in history with this print, offering viewers a glimpse into the world of Victorian politics through a lens of humor and creativity.
