EDITORS COMMENTS
The Anglers Return: A Symbolic Depiction of Disappointment and Defeat in Victorian Politics - This satirical cartoon, titled "The Anglers Return," was published in 1859, following the Conservative Party's poor performance in the recent General Election. The cartoon features two prominent politicians of the time, Lord Derby and Benjamin Disraeli, depicted as fishermen, examining their meager catch of fish, symbolizing the party's lack of seats and minority status in Parliament. Lord Derby, wearing a coronet and holding a fishing rod, looks glumly at the few fish in his bag, while Disraeli, wearing a Tory cap and holding an empty bag, looks equally disappointed. The background shows a list of counties and boroughs where the Conservatives had hoped to win seats but failed. The image is a commentary on the Conservative Party's disappointing returns from the election, with the Liberals under Lord Palmerston holding a clear majority. The railway return tickets scattered on the ground represent the lost opportunities for the Conservatives to gain power. The cartoon's symbolism is further emphasized by the presence of a grand palace in the background, symbolizing the seat of power, which remains out of reach for the two anglers. The cartoon's title, "The Anglers Return," is a playful reference to the political returns from the election, which would have been announced at the time. The image provides a fascinating insight into the political climate of the 1850s, highlighting the use of satire and symbolism in political commentary during this period.
