EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the annals of British political history depicts the moment of triumph for Benjamin Disraeli, the charismatic and enigmatic Prime Minister, as he seeks the blessings of his fellow Members of Parliament (MPs) for the newly passed Reform Bill on August 17, 1867. The scene unfolds at St Stephen's Hall in the Palace of Westminster, where Disraeli, with a confident and mischievous grin, puffs on his cigar and gestures for his colleagues to kneel and pray. The contrast between the seriousness of the moment and Disraeli's lighthearted demeanor is both intriguing and amusing. The Reform Bill, a crucial piece of legislation that expanded the electorate and redistributed parliamentary seats, was a significant milestone in the history of British democracy. Its passage marked a turning point in the political landscape, paving the way for greater representation and influence for the middle and working classes. The cartoon's title, "Puff at St Stephen's," adds an element of playfulness to the image, further emphasizing Disraeli's flamboyant personality. The presence of the famous Irish orator and critic, Charles Mathews, in the background, adds an extra layer of intrigue and historical significance to the scene. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political dynamics of the time, providing a unique perspective on the personalities and events that shaped the course of British history. The image is a testament to the power of humor and satire in capturing the essence of political moments and the enduring appeal of the human drama that unfolds on the political stage.
