A game of foot-ball as played by certain Westminster boys, 1858
A game of foot-ball as played by certain Westminster boys, 1858. In this cartoon, Derby (in the crown) is on the left with Disraeli representing the Tories, whilst Palmerston (the former prime minister) and Lord John Russell (the little one) are on the right and representing the Liberal Party, a newly developing party forming from Whigs and Peelites. Mr Punch held the view that India was being made the football of British politics during 1858. Two separate India Bills had recently been introduced, but both had been abandoned to avoid destabilising Lord Derbys new minority government. From Punch, or the London Charivari, May 29, 1858

A Game of Foot-ball - A Political Satire in 1858
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1858, titled "A game of foot-ball as played by certain Westminster boys" offers a humorous insight into the political landscape of the time. Depicting prominent figures such as Benjamin Disraeli, Edward Stanley (15th Earl of Derby), Lord John Russell, and Lord Palmerston, it showcases the emerging Liberal Party's formation from Whigs and Peelites. The cartoon cleverly portrays Derby wearing a crown on the left side, symbolizing his leadership role within the Tory party. Disraeli stands beside him, representing their conservative ideals. On the right side stand Palmerston and Lord John Russell, embodying the newly developing Liberal Party. Mr Punch's perspective is evident in this satirical artwork; he believed that India was being used as a political football during this period. The two recently abandoned India Bills are referenced to avoid destabilizing Derby's new minority government. With its intricate details and monochrome aesthetic, this engraving captures not only the essence of 19th-century politics but also highlights how power struggles influenced British society at large. It serves as a reminder that even in serious matters like politics, humor can be employed to shed light on complex issues. As we delve into history through this heritage image partnership with Benjamin Disraeli and other influential statesmen depicted here, we gain valuable insights into an era where politicians' actions were scrutinized through artistic satire.
