EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned British statesman, Benjamin Disraeli, engaging in a significant moment during the late 19th century. In this instance, Disraeli, known for his Jewish heritage and celebrated literary works, is shown proposing to purchase shares in the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal, an engineering marvel completed in 1869, had become a vital waterway for the British Empire, ensuring the safe and efficient passage from Europe to India. The cartoon, dated 1875, illustrates Disraeli's proposal as a pivotal move to secure the safety of the Suez Canal for his country. Surrounded by the intrigue and grandeur of Egypt, Disraeli is seen in deep conversation with the Empress of Britain, Queen Victoria, and the Khedive of Egypt, Ismail Pasha. The iconic Sphinx looms in the background, symbolizing the historical significance and mystery of Egypt. This event holds importance in British history as it highlights the strategic importance of the Suez Canal for the Empire and the lengths the government was willing to go to secure its safety. The image also serves as a testament to Disraeli's influence and his role in shaping British foreign policy during this period. This print, with its intricate details and historical significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of the late 19th century and the complex web of diplomacy and power that shaped the world during this era.
