Cartoon, Don t Touch the Queen (Irish Church)
Cartoon, Don t Touch the Queen -- a satirical comment on Gladstones Irish Church Suspensory Bill, which was carried against the Conservative government by a large majority. Disraeli protects the Queen (representing the Irish Church) against the reforming intentions of Gladstone and Bright. The legislation, which came into force the following year, separated the Church of Ireland from the Church of England, and meant that the Church of Ireland was no longer entitled to collect tithes from the Irish people. A controversial law, it helped to dismantle the Protestant Ascendancy. Date: 1868

Don't Touch the Queen - A Satirical Comment on Gladstone's Irish Church Suspensory Bill of 1868
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and provocative political cartoon from the Victorian era, created in response to the contentious legislation that separated the Church of Ireland from the Church of England. The cartoon, published in 1868, depicts Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli shielding Queen Victoria from the threatening hands of reformers William Gladstone and John Bright, who are attempting to pass the Irish Church Suspensory Bill. The bill, which came into force the following year, disestablished the Church of Ireland and ended its entitlement to collect tithes from the Irish people. This controversial law marked a significant step towards dismantling the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland and was a major point of contention between the Conservative and Liberal parties. The cartoon's title, "Don't Touch the Queen," is a clear reference to the attempt to protect the Church of Ireland, represented by the Queen, from the reforming intentions of Gladstone and Bright. Disraeli's protective stance towards the Queen highlights the Conservative Party's opposition to the bill and their desire to preserve the status quo. The medieval-style setting of the cartoon adds an air of historical significance and emphasizes the deep-rooted religious and political differences between the two countries. The cartoon serves as a fascinating commentary on the political climate of the time and the complex relationship between religion, politics, and national identity in Victorian Britain and Ireland.
