The Anglers Return, 1859
The Anglers Return, 1859. This cartoon depicts Derby on the left in country tweeds with matching crown, and Disraeli on the right in boots with his rods slung across his back, as two fishermen returning from their outing. Derby has been fishing for votes in the counties, and Disraeli has returned from the boroughs. Sadly, for all their efforts neither of them has caught anything larger than a sprat. In the General Election of 1859 that followed the defeat of Disraelis Reform Bill, the Conservatives made gains of some 30 seats. However, this was still not sufficient to give Derby a working majority. From Punch, or the London Charivari, May 21, 1859

The Anglers Return, 1859
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical cartoon that captures the political landscape of its time. Depicting Benjamin Disraeli and Edward Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby as fishermen returning from their respective fishing expeditions, the image humorously portrays their efforts to secure votes in the General Election of 1859. Derby, dressed in country tweeds with a matching crown, represents the Conservatives who focused on winning support from rural areas. Disraeli, on the other hand, clad in boots with fishing rods slung across his back, symbolizes the Liberals' campaign strategy targeting urban boroughs. However, despite their endeavors to catch larger fish (votes), both politicians have only managed to reel in sprats – metaphorical small victories. The cartoon reflects the outcome of this election where although the Conservatives gained around 30 seats under Derby's leadership following Disraeli's failed Reform Bill proposal; it was still not enough for them to form a majority government. Through clever satire and engraving techniques typical of 19th-century political cartoons published by Punch magazine, this print highlights how even prominent statesmen like Disraeli and Derby could struggle to achieve significant electoral success. It serves as a reminder that politics can be unpredictable and challenging regardless of one's position or efforts. This heritage image partnership between Benjamin Disraeli and Edward Stanley offers us an intriguing glimpse into historical political events while showcasing artistic craftsmanship through its monochrome depiction of these influential figures during a pivotal moment in British history.
