EDITORS COMMENTS
Hot Pies! A Humorous Take on Disraeli and Late 19th Century Foreign Affairs (1879) This intriguing political cartoon, titled "Hot Pies!", depicts four British statesmen, including Conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and Foreign Secretary Lord Salisbury, engaged in a lively discussion over a table laden with steaming hot pies. The men, dressed in formal attire, sit on low stools, reminiscent of schoolboys, as they eagerly consume the pies labeled with the names of various countries such as Cyprus, Zululand, Afghanistan, and Turkey. The cartoon, published in 1879, provides a humorous analogy to the complex international affairs of the time. Disraeli, with a satisfied expression, turns to the waiter and exclaims, "We've had as much as we can manage!" as the waiter enters with yet another pie labeled "Burmah." This visual metaphor highlights the heavy burden of managing the British Empire's foreign policy during the late 1870s, with its vast territorial holdings in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The political climate of the time was marked by numerous events, including the Cyprus crisis, the Anglo-Zulu War, and the Second Afghan War, which tested the diplomatic skills and military prowess of Disraeli and Salisbury. This cartoon serves as a fascinating glimpse into the political discourse of the era, offering a lighthearted yet insightful commentary on the challenges faced by the British government in managing its foreign affairs during this period of intense international activity. This image, a testament to the rich history of political cartoons, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on 19th-century British politics, international relations, and the British Empire.
