Peace with Honour, 1881 - A Tribute to Benjamin Disraeli
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print titled "Peace with Honour, 1881" we are transported back to a significant moment in British history. The artist, Joseph Swain, captures the essence of grief and respect as Britannia herself dons full mourning attire in honor of Benjamin Disraeli. Disraeli, an esteemed politician and former Conservative Prime Minister, passed away on April 19th, 1881. His loss was deeply felt by the nation. This allegorical figure represents not only the sorrow of his death but also the profound impact he had on British politics during the 19th century. The monochrome engraving showcases a somber scene where Britannia stands tall amidst her mourning garb. The imagery adds depth and solemnity to this heritage image partnership between Swain's artistic vision and John Tenniel's caricature expertise. As one gazes upon this print, it becomes evident that Disraeli held great significance within society. His legacy is immortalized through his interment at Hughenden on April 26th and a monument erected in Westminster Abbey. "Peace with Honour" serves as both a tribute to a remarkable statesman and a reflection of an era marked by political satire and commentary. Through this artwork, we are reminded of Disraeli's contributions to Britain while simultaneously capturing the collective grief experienced by its people upon his passing.
