A Dissolving View - Benjamin Disraeli and Lord Derby's Uneasy Coalition after the 1852 General Election
EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon, titled "A Dissolving View," depicts the uneasy alliance between Conservative Party leaders Benjamin Disraeli and Lord Derby following their narrow victory in the 1852 General Election. The election results indicated a clear preference for Free Trade policies over Protectionism, which was favored by Derby. The cartoon shows Disraeli and Derby standing on a sinking ship labeled "Conservative Party," with the caption "Disraeli and Derby Win the General Election." The background shows a stormy sea, symbolizing the turbulent political climate of the time. The ship's mast is labeled "Free Trade," indicating that it was the issue that helped the Conservatives secure their victory, despite Derby's protectionist leanings. Disraeli, dressed in the robes of an MP, is shown trying to bail out the ship with a bucket labeled "Free Trade," while Derby, wearing Tory colors, clings to the ship's rigging and looks uneasy. The cartoon's title, "A Dissolving View," suggests that the coalition between Disraeli and Derby was tenuous and could dissolve at any moment. The 1850s were a pivotal time in British politics, with the debate between Free Trade and Protectionism dominating the political landscape. This cartoon provides a humorous yet insightful commentary on the delicate balance of power within the Conservative Party and the challenges faced by the government in implementing its policies. The satirical use of symbolism and humor adds to the cartoon's enduring appeal and makes it an important historical document of Victorian-era British politics.
