Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, these whimsical engravings offer a glimpse into the imaginative world of newspaper correspondents at that time. In this intriguing ensemble, Disraeli is portrayed in various roles and guises, reflecting the diverse interpretations and misunderstandings surrounding his political career. From a political harlequin to a cunning diplomatist or even a humble agriculturist, each portrayal captures different facets of his persona as perceived by those who failed to truly comprehend him. Dated July 3rd, 1878, this artwork not only serves as entertainment but also provides valuable insight into the socio-political climate of its era. The intricate details and elaborate costumes depicted within these caricatures highlight both contemporary fashions and popular cartooning styles prevalent during that period.
