Dizzys Arithmetic, 1865 Artist: John Tenniel
Dizzys Arithmetic, 1865. Pam remarks Now, then, Youngster, You ve No Call to be a Chalking that Wall; and if You Must do a Sum, You might as well do it Right! Disraeli is depicted as a small boy chalking a sum on the wall. With the Libberals having a return of 368, and the Torys 290, Disraeli manages to produce a solution that gives the Conservatives a majority of 25. Mr Policeman Bull, wearing the face of the victorious PM, Lord Palmerston, scolds him in a genial manner, telling him that he ought at least to get the sum right. The Liberals had regained power during the recent General Election with an increased majority of 78. This was a blow to the Conservatives who faced another term in opposition. From Punch, or the London Charivari, August 12, 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Dizzy's Arithmetic, 1865" captures a humorous moment in British politics during the 19th century. Artist John Tenniel skillfully depicts Benjamin Disraeli, a prominent politician and future Prime Minister, as a mischievous young boy chalking a sum on the wall. The cartoon portrays Disraeli attempting to manipulate numbers to give his Conservative Party an advantage over their Liberal rivals. In the artwork, Mr Policeman Bull represents Lord Palmerston, who had just won a decisive victory for the Liberals in the recent General Election. With great geniality, he scolds Disraeli for not getting his calculations right. This satirical portrayal highlights both political rivalry and Disraeli's reputation as a cunning strategist. The context of this caricature is significant; it reflects the disappointment faced by Conservatives after losing power to the Liberals with an increased majority of 78 seats. The image symbolizes their frustration at being relegated to another term in opposition. This engraving from Punch magazine showcases Tenniel's talent for capturing political satire through visual storytelling. It offers viewers insight into historical events while entertaining them with its clever depiction of politicians as mischievous children playing with numbers. "Dizzy's Arithmetic" serves as both a commentary on political events of that time and an enduring reminder of how art can capture complex ideas through humor and satire.
