EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Guy of the Season: A Satirical Comment on the Liberal Party's Threat to Disraeli's Prime Ministership (1879) This intriguing cartoon, titled "The Great Guy of the Season," provides a satirical commentary on the intense political rivalry between Conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and the Liberal Party during the late Victorian era in Britain. The image, created in 1879, depicts Disraeli being painted by Liberal MP John Bright, with his colleagues Gladstone and Hartington watching from the background. The analogy drawn in this cartoon is between Disraeli and the traditional Guy Fawkes, the notorious figure from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 who attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. By portraying Disraeli as the "Guy of the Season," the cartoonist highlights the Liberal Party's perceived threat to Disraeli's position as Prime Minister. The scene unfolds on Bonfire Night, a time when effigies of Guy Fawkes were traditionally burned on the streets of Britain. In this context, Disraeli is being "painted" – a metaphor for the Liberal Party's efforts to discredit and ridicule him in the public sphere. The presence of Gladstone and Hartington in the background underscores the intensity of the political rivalry between the two parties. This cartoon serves as a fascinating snapshot of the political climate in late 19th-century Britain, offering insight into the power struggles, satire, and political intrigue that characterized the era. The use of the Guy Fawkes analogy adds an intriguing layer of symbolism to the image, highlighting the high stakes of political competition and the role of satire in shaping public opinion.
