EDITORS COMMENTS
This political cartoon, titled "How the New Year should have been kept at Westminster," was created by an unknown artist in 1880, published by Alfred Bryan, and distributed by Entracte. The image depicts a pivotal moment in Victorian politics, with Liberal leader William E. Gladstone forcefully kicking out his Tory rival, Benjamin Disraeli, from the hallowed halls of Westminster. The cartoon reflects the intense political rivalry between the two leaders, who dominated British politics throughout the 1870s. The year 1880 marked a significant turning point in their long-standing conflict, with Gladstone's Liberal Party regaining power after a brief Tory interlude. The cartoon's imaginative portrayal of the two men symbolizes the struggle for political power and the intense conflict that characterized their relationship. Gladstone, depicted as a robust and determined figure, wears a stern expression as he kicks Disraeli, who is shown tumbling out of the frame, with a look of surprise and disbelief on his face. The cartoon's exaggerated and humorous style underscores the intensity of the political battle between the two men, while also highlighting the public's fascination with the personal dynamics of their rivalry. The image is a testament to the power of political cartoons as a means of engaging the public in the political process and shaping public opinion. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of political conflict and the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.
