EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the political history of 19th century Britain. Titled "Political Economy: Reform of Parliament - extension of the franchise" it showcases two prominent statesmen, Disraeli and Derby, engaged in an act symbolic of progress and change. The image portrays Benjamin Disraeli, serving as Chancellor at the time, alongside Lord Derby, who held the position of Prime Minister. Both men are seen meticulously dusting off a Reform Bill from 1867. This bill marked a pivotal turning point in British politics as it aimed to extend suffrage rights to a larger portion of society. John Tenniel's skillful cartoon illustration for Punch magazine on December 1st, 1866 adds depth to this historical snapshot. The artwork emphasizes the significance and urgency attached to this reform by depicting these politicians actively engaging with it. With its powerful visual narrative encompassing elements such as government, politics, vote, and economy; this print offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by social transformation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political debates and power struggles within Parliament's walls, there were individuals like Disraeli who championed progressive reforms for the betterment of their nation. Preserved through time by Bridgeman Images' collection from Fine Art Finder, this photograph invites us to reflect upon how far we have come since those days while acknowledging that continuous efforts towards inclusivity remain crucial for any thriving democracy.
