EDITORS COMMENTS
This political cartoon, titled "Mr. Disraeli on hearing of the Ministerial Crisis of 1851" (Cartoon 1 of 4), is a fascinating glimpse into the tumultuous world of 19th-century British politics. The image, created by an unknown artist and published in 1851, depicts Benjamin Disraeli, a prominent Conservative Party leader and future Prime Minister, in a state of deep concern as he receives news of a ministerial crisis. The year was 1851, and Disraeli, who was then serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer, was embroiled in a heated political battle with his own party over the issue of free trade. The crisis arose when a group of Tory MPs, known as the Protectionist Party, sought to reverse the government's free trade policies and reintroduce protective tariffs. Disraeli, a strong advocate for free trade, was determined to resist their demands and maintain the economic reforms he had championed. In this cartoon, Disraeli is shown sitting at a table, his brow furrowed and his eyes wide with worry as he listens intently to a messenger who delivers the news of the crisis. The artist masterfully captures the tension and drama of the moment, as Disraeli braces himself for the challenges that lie ahead. The cartoon not only offers a unique perspective on the political climate of the time but also highlights the personal struggles and sacrifices that came with holding high office. This piece of historical art is a must-have for anyone interested in British political history, particularly the era of Disraeli and the tumultuous period of the mid-19th century. With its intriguing subject matter and stunning artistic detail, this cartoon is a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling and the rich historical legacy of Mary Evans Picture Library.
