EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical print titled "Deserted !, 1875" we are transported back to a significant moment in British politics. The image captures the Conservative Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, and his Lord Chancellor, Hugh McCalmont Cairns, standing on the right side of the frame. A burly policeman points towards a document lying abandoned on the doorstep of the House of Lords - the Baby Judicature Bill. Disraeli and Cairns refuse any association with this bill, claiming it was left behind by the previous Liberal administration. Their refusal is depicted through their stern expressions and body language. The cartoon-like illustration adds an element of satire to highlight their political stance. The scene is set against the backdrop of majestic buildings that make up the Palace of Westminster, symbolizing power and authority. Both men are dressed in formal attire befitting their positions as statesmen. This monochrome engraving by Joseph Swain showcases his talent for capturing intricate details while conveying a larger message about political dynamics during Britain's nineteenth century. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and opulence, politicians can abandon or distance themselves from certain bills or policies based on party affiliations or personal beliefs. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in British history while showcasing Swain's artistic prowess in satirical caricatures.
