EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Who will rouse him? 1859" the renowned artist John Tenniel takes us back to a pivotal moment in British history. The print showcases three influential figures of the time, each with their own political agenda, attempting to awaken the mighty British Lion. On the left stands John Bright, a radical reformer known for his passionate advocacy of parliamentary reform and social justice. Next to him is Benjamin Disraeli, a prominent Tory Chancellor who sought to maintain traditional values while embracing limited reforms. Completing the trio is Lord John Russell, representing the Whig party and its commitment to liberal principles. The image captures an intense scene as these powerful men prod and nudge the majestic lion towards accepting the Reform Bill during Prime Minister Derby's government. Symbolizing Britain's strength and authority, the lion embodies both resistance and potential change. Tenniel's intricate engravings skillfully convey not only each character's distinct personality but also their shared goal of shaping Britain's future through political maneuvering. This artwork serves as a visual commentary on power dynamics within society and highlights how even those in positions of influence must rely on persuasion rather than force when seeking transformational change. "Who will rouse him? 1859" remains an enduring testament to Tenniel's artistic prowess and continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and thought-provoking narrative about politics in nineteenth-century Britain.
