EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon from 1868, titled "BENJAMIN DISRAELI Dizzy as Our Grocer," offers a humorous take on the political landscape of the time. The image features the renowned British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, dressed as a grocer, standing behind the counter of a shop labeled "Derby, Disraeli & Co." He is shown attempting to reassure a worried-looking Mrs. Britannia that his establishment can be trusted to provide good value for money. Disraeli, known for his sharp intellect and charisma, is depicted in a disheveled and comical manner, with a puzzled expression on his face. He is surrounded by various grocery items, including a barrel on the scales, shelves filled with bottles, and a cart in the background. The use of caricature and satire in this print reflects the political climate of the time, as well as the growing popularity of grocery shopping and consumer culture. The date of this print, 22 February 1868, places it during Disraeli's second term as Prime Minister, a period marked by significant political and social changes in Britain. This cartoon serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the political satire and humor of the Victorian era."
