EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Cartoon, Permissive Government," dates back to 1875 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of Victorian Britain. The image depicts a conversation between two prominent figures of the era: Benjamin Disraeli, the Conservative Prime Minister, and Lord Hartington, the new leader of the Liberal Party, who were in opposition at the time. The scene unfolds on the picturesque Embankment along the River Thames in London. Disraeli, wearing a top hat, sits confidently with his arms crossed, while Hartington, also wearing a top hat, stands before him, suggesting that Disraeli's government is rather weak and exists only on "sufferance." In response, Disraeli quotes Shylock's famous lines from The Merchant of Venice: "Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe." This direct and somewhat gratuitous reference to Disraeli's Jewish ancestry added an intriguing layer to the political rivalry between the two men. The cartoon, published in Punch magazine during the 1870s, masterfully captures the essence of the political tension and personal animosity between the two leaders. The use of humor and symbolism adds depth to the commentary on the state of British politics during this period. This piece of historical art is a testament to the rich and complex political landscape of Victorian Britain.
