Primrose Day at Westminster - Tributes to the memory of Lord Beaconsfield,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and poignant black and white engraving from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" volume 33, published in January to June of 1886. The image captures the solemnity and grandeur of a Primrose Day celebration held at Westminster in London, England, in honor of the late Conservative Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield. The iconic Palace of Westminster, with its Elizabeth Tower, Big Ben, and St. Stephen's Tower, stands proudly in the background, while the foreground is filled with a sea of politicians, dressed in formal attire, paying their respects to the memory of Disraeli. The Tory and Conservative Party leaders of the time, including Viscount Hughenden of Hughendon, are depicted laying wreaths at the foot of a statue of Disraeli, adorned with primroses. The image is a testament to the enduring influence of Disraeli's political legacy and his impact on the British political landscape. The Primrose League, a women's political organization founded in his honor, had made primroses their symbol, and Primrose Day was an annual event to commemorate his life and achievements. The floral tributes in the image serve as a reminder of the deep respect and admiration the political community held for Disraeli, who was affectionately known as "Dizzy" and "Lord Beaconsfield." The engraving is a beautiful and poignant snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the political and social fabric of Victorian Britain. Its timeless quality and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of art, history, or politics.
