The image is a satirical cartoon by the talented illustrator John Leech, showcasing the political turmoil of the 19th century. Lord Palmerston's resignation was forced upon him due to allegations that he had exceeded his authority as Prime Minister.

As one of Britain's longest-reigning monarchs, her reign witnessed numerous political changes and challenges. John Leech's artistic style adds depth to this historical moment through satire and caricature. His illustrations were renowned for their ability to capture both humor and social commentary. This print serves as a visual reminder of the intricate web of politics during the 19th century in England.
