EDITORS COMMENTS
The End of the Season: A Political Satire of the 1870s (Cartoon, The End of the Season -- Benjamin Disraeli, or 'Miss Dizzy,' is depicted in this 1873 cartoon, dressed in the latest fashion for a debutante, complete with crinoline and bustle. However, instead of the excitement and anticipation typically associated with such an event, Miss Dizzy appears disgruntled and disillusioned. She complains that no one has taken any real interest in her throughout the social season, and she places the blame squarely on the shoulders of her political rival, Wilhelmina Gladstone. The metaphorical cross-dressing of Disraeli as a young woman adds an extra layer of commentary to this satirical image. The table and mirror in the background serve as reminders of the superficial nature of society events, while the political rivalry between Disraeli and Gladstone is emphasized through their contrasting postures and expressions. This cartoon, published during a time of intense political competition between the Conservative and Liberal parties, offers a witty and insightful commentary on the political landscape of the 1870s.
