EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases R A Cross, a prominent British Conservative politician and Home Secretary during Benjamin Disraeli's government in 1874. The color lithograph, created by Faustin Betbeder, beautifully captures the essence of this influential figure from the 19th century. R A Cross, also known as Richard Assheton Cross or the 1st Viscount Cross, is depicted with great detail and precision. His stern yet dignified expression reflects his strong presence in politics and his commitment to serving his country. As Home Secretary, he played a crucial role in shaping government policies during that era. The artist has cleverly incorporated elements of satire into this portrait. Through caricature and puns, Betbeder highlights the political climate of the time while adding an element of humor to the piece. This satirical drawing serves as a scathing commentary on politicians and their actions within Great Britain's conservative party. The image also alludes to religious symbolism with its reference to crucifixion. This subtle metaphor suggests both admiration for R A Cross' dedication to public service as well as criticism for the sacrifices made by politicians in pursuit of power. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into British politics during Victorian times while showcasing Faustin Betbeder's artistic talent and ability to capture complex personalities through visual storytelling.
