EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon captures the political turmoil of mid-19th century Britain, specifically the resignation of Sir Robert Peel as Prime Minister on June 27, 1846, and his subsequent replacement by Lord John Russell just three days later. The image depicts Queen Victoria (center) in audience with Peel (left) and Russell (right), both wearing top hats symbolic of their political affiliations - Peel as a Tory and Russell as a Liberal. The Queen, flanked by her consort Prince Albert (behind her), appears unamused as Peel presents his resignation letter. Peel's resignation came in the wake of the controversial passage of the Irish Potato Famine Relief Bill, which many in his own Conservative Party opposed. The bill, which provided relief to the suffering Irish population, was seen as an unwarranted interference in Irish affairs and a breach of laissez-faire economic principles. Russell, a Liberal MP, was chosen to replace Peel due to his support for the bill and his ability to form a coalition government. The cartoonist's satirical commentary is evident in the exaggerated expressions and body language of the figures, with Peel looking defeated and Russell smirking with a sense of triumph. The transfer of power from one party to another was a significant event in British politics, and this cartoon provides a humorous yet insightful commentary on the political conflicts and power dynamics of the time.
