Created by the English School in the 19th century, this engraving is a satirical masterpiece that delves into the political landscape of Great Britain during that time. The central figure depicted is John Bright, an influential Member of Parliament known for his radical and liberal views.

With hands firmly planted on the platform of power, he exudes confidence and authority. This clever caricature highlights Bright's significant role within British politics and his impact on shaping government policies. The artist skillfully captures the essence of British political culture in the 19th century through this comic portrayal. The cartoon not only provides amusement but also serves as social commentary on the state of affairs during Lord John's ministry.
