EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Disraeli's Secret: The Enigmatic Tory Leader Holds Close His Plans for the July 1872 Session" This political cartoon, published on July 6, 1872, features the renowned British statesman, Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, in a moment of deep contemplation. Known for his wit and charisma, Disraeli is depicted here as "Dizzy Disraeli," a moniker given to him due to his penchant for unpredictability and his famous quip, "I am an infant plastered over with the wax of antiquity." The cartoonist captures Disraeli engrossed in study, surrounded by an array of books and papers, with a footman standing by, holding a tray of historical records. The title of the print, "Benjamin Disraeli Dizzy will not divulge his plans for the forthcoming session: he would rather trust to his own instincts than devise a Programme," highlights Disraeli's reputation for keeping his political strategies close to the vest. As a leading figure in the Conservative Party, Disraeli's ability to keep his opponents guessing was a crucial aspect of his political prowess. In this moment, he is shown leaning back in his chair, deep in thought, with a determined expression on his face. The caption emphasizes his reluctance to share his plans for the upcoming session, instead relying on his instincts and past knowledge to guide him. This intriguing print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of the time, as well as the public's perception of Disraeli's leadership style. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of political intrigue and the importance of maintaining a strong, enigmatic public image.
