The Derby, 1867 - A Triumph for Dizzy and the Reform Bill
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to the year 1867, witnessing a pivotal moment in British political history. Sir John Tenniel's cartoon captures the excitement of The Derby race, where two prominent figures of that era, Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone, fiercely compete. As the horses thunder towards the finish line at breakneck speed, it is Disraeli astride his trusty steed who emerges victorious. With a determined expression on his face and riding crop held high in triumph, he crosses the finish line just ahead of Gladstone. This symbolic victory represents more than just a horse race; it signifies Disraeli's success in passing the Reform Bill. The Reform Act of 1867 was a landmark piece of legislation that expanded voting rights to millions of working-class men across England. Tenniel cleverly uses this sporting event as an allegory for political progress and social change. The cheering spectators surrounding the track reflect society's anticipation for these reforms. This cartoon serves as a reminder that politics can be both exhilarating and transformative. It immortalizes not only two influential statesmen but also an important turning point in English history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by The Granger Collection, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with politics—capturing moments that shape nations and inspire generations to come.
