EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Benjamin Disraeli, a prominent British Conservative statesman who lived from 1804 to 1881. The image showcases Disraeli's charismatic presence and strong political stance, as he confidently declares, "Now, I am on the side of the Angels". The photograph is accompanied by a thought-provoking John Tenniel cartoon from Punch magazine, dated December 10th, 1864. This cartoon was inspired by Disraeli's influential speech at the Oxford Union during a heated debate on evolution. In an era dominated by Darwinism and scientific advancements, Disraeli fearlessly expressed his conservative views. Tenniel's artistic depiction portrays Disraeli surrounded by angelic figures symbolizing purity and righteousness. Through this clever visual representation, the cartoon highlights how Disraeli positioned himself as a defender of traditional values amidst societal changes brought about by scientific theories. As one gazes upon this historical artwork captured in time, it becomes evident that Benjamin Disraeli was not merely a politician but also an intellectual force to be reckoned with. His unwavering commitment to conservatism resonates through his powerful words and actions. This remarkable piece is part of Bridgeman Images' collection available for public viewing. It serves as both a reminder of our rich political history and an inspiration for future generations to engage in meaningful debates while upholding their beliefs with conviction.
