EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts two pivotal figures in British political history: William Ewart Gladstone and Edward Henry Stanley, the 15th Earl of Derby, better known as Lord Stanley, or 'Lord Purchase.' The image, dated between 1809 and 1898, portrays a momentous event in Gladstone's career as a statesman: his successful abolition of the system of purchasing commissions, against the opposition of the House of Lords. Gladstone, dressed in formal attire and holding a document, stands confidently, with a determined look in his eyes. He is surrounded by a crowd of supporters, all cheering and raising their hats in approval. In contrast, Lord Stanley, depicted as a grumpy, old man, clutches a scroll labeled 'Commissions,' symbolizing his resistance to the reform. The caption above Gladstone reads, 'Gladstone's Reform Bill,' emphasizing the significance of this legislative achievement. The cartoonish style of this print, with its exaggerated features and caricatured elements, adds a playful and engaging touch to the historical narrative. The use of humor and visual storytelling in political cartoons was a popular means of engaging the public and shaping public opinion during this period. This print offers a unique and insightful perspective on a pivotal moment in British political history. It not only highlights Gladstone's determination and political acumen but also sheds light on the power struggles between the House of Commons and the House of Lords during the 19th century. Overall, this print is an essential addition to any collection of British political history or cartoon art.
