EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Cartoon, Court Favour," depicts a humorous take on the political rivalry between two prominent figures of the late 19th century British politics: William E. Gladstone of the Liberal Party and Benjamin Disraeli of the Conservative Party. The cartoon, created in 1879, shows Queen Victoria seated on her throne, surrounded by her sons and grandsons. Her attention is fully focused on Disraeli, who is shown wearing a Tory tartan kilt and bowing before her, while Gladstone, dressed in a Scottish kilt and holding a bouquet of roses, stands neglected in the background. The satirical image reflects the intense political competition between the two leaders, with Disraeli, the Tory Prime Minister, enjoying the favor of the monarch. Queen Victoria's preference for Disraeli was a source of frustration for Gladstone, who had previously served as Prime Minister multiple times. The cartoonist, through this humorous illustration, highlights the political dynamics of the time, with the queen's choice of favorite politician serving as a symbol of the shifting political landscape. The Victorian era, characterized by its grandeur and opulence, is beautifully captured in this image, with the royal family adorned in their finest attire. The use of tartan kilts for both leaders adds a touch of national pride and symbolism to the cartoon, further emphasizing the political significance of the moment. Overall, "Cartoon, Court Favour" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of British politics during the 1870s, offering a unique perspective on the personalities and power struggles of the time.
