EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Victorian-era cartoon, Queen Victoria extends an invitation to William E. Gladstone, the Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister, to visit Windsor Castle. The formal exchange takes place in the presence of a top-hatted Alfred Bryan, a Member of Parliament. Gladstone, known for his serious and business-like demeanor, responds in typical fashion, "If I accept, Your Majesty will please to understand that it is quite a matter of business." The cartoon, published in 1880, reflects the political climate of the time, with Gladstone's Liberal Party in power and Queen Victoria maintaining her role as the monarch. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the grandeur of the royal court, with Queen Victoria dressed in her regal attire and Gladstone, Bryan, and the cartoonist, Terry Parker, all donning top hats. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political dynamics of the late 19th century in Britain and the relationship between the monarchy and the prime minister.
