EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts the renowned Victorian-era Conservative politician, Benjamin Disraeli, in his final political innings after losing the General Election to the Liberal party in 1880. The image, titled "His Last Innings: Caricature of Benjamin Disraeli, Bowled Gladstone!", captures the dismay and disappointment on Disraeli's face as he is 'bowled' by his political rival, William E. Gladstone. The metaphorical use of cricket terminology adds a playful yet poignant touch to the political commentary. Disraeli, a prominent figure in British politics, had previously served as Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party. In this caricature, he is depicted as a glum and unhappy batsman, with a dejected expression and a defeated posture. The image also includes other notable political figures of the time, such as Gladstone, who is shown triumphantly raising his arm in victory, and John Bright, a Liberal MP, who stands nearby, clapping in approval. The use of caricature as a form of political commentary was common during the Victorian era, and this image is a prime example of the wit and satire that characterized the political discourse of the time. The profile view of Disraeli's face, with his furrowed brow and downturned lips, adds to the sense of defeat and disappointment. The image is a poignant reminder of the high stakes and intense competition that characterized Victorian-era politics, and the enduring impact of individual political leaders on the political landscape. This caricature, created by Terry Parker and published by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the political climate of the late 19th century, and is a must-have for any collection of Victorian-era political memorabilia or historical artwork.
