EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Very Different Treatment" captures a moment in history when two prominent politicians, William Ewart Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli, approached the Eastern Question with contrasting styles. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the calm and statesmanlike demeanor of Premier Disraeli as he grapples with the complexities of this pressing issue. His efforts aimed at achieving a peaceful and satisfactory resolution are depicted in stark contrast to Mr. Gladstone's fierce denunciation, angry invective, and passionate verbosity. This satirical artwork humorously highlights the diplomatic disparities between these political figures during that time period. It references Lord Beaconsfield's Guildhall speech and Mr. Gladstone's utterances at Holyhead on November 21st, 1877. The cartoon-like depiction includes traditional clothing fashions of that era along with caricatures of both politicians. The inclusion of a child in the image adds an element of innocence or naivety to emphasize how different their approaches were perceived to be by society at large. This print from Fine Art Finder offers viewers a glimpse into historical events while showcasing the wit and creativity employed by artists to convey political commentary through visual mediums like engravings.
