EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon, titled "A Holiday" or "Cartoon, A Holiday (Disraeli)" was published in 1874, during the 1870s in the Victorian era. The cartoon offers a scathing commentary on the political disagreements and power struggles within the Conservative Party, specifically targeting Benjamin Disraeli, a prominent MP and two-time British Prime Minister. In this image, Disraeli is depicted as a haughty female servant, taking a day off from work, as he bids farewell to his employer, personified by the allegorical figure of Britannia. Britannia, represented as a stern, matronly woman, is engrossed in a book entitled "Parliamentary Reports," signifying her preoccupation with political matters. Disraeli, dressed in a frilly apron and carrying a handbag, is shown with a smug expression on his face, as if he considers himself above the fray. The Punch figure, a symbol of mischief and ridicule, grins from the mantelpiece, adding to the overall satirical tone. The use of cross-dressing as an analogy and metaphor in this cartoon serves to emphasize the perceived frivolity and absurdity of Disraeli's behavior, as well as the political infighting within the Conservative Party. The cartoon's title, "A Holiday," further underscores the notion that Disraeli is taking an undeserved break from the serious business of governing. Overall, this cartoon offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on the political climate of the time, using satire and comic elements to highlight the tensions and disagreements within the Conservative Party.
