Goody Gladstones Gifts, 1864. Artist: John Tenniel
Goody Gladstones Gifts, 1864. Mr Gladstone, on the right in this cartoon, had just introduced his 1864 Budget. A surplus of £ 2, 570, 000 during the previous year had allowed Gladstone to shave a further penny off income tax, leaving it at sixpence in the pound. He had also lowered sugar duties and reduced the duty on fire insurances from 3 shillings to 1 shilling and sixpence. He did not propose any change to the malt duties. Here, Gladstone is giving Disraeli, representing the Agricultural Party, a penny, some sugar and a fire medal, saying that he will consider malt some other time. Note the picture in the background showing the amount of the surplus, but still with his switch tucked behind the frame for future use. From Punch, or the London Charivari, April 16, 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Goody Gladstones Gifts" and created by artist John Tenniel in 1864, captures a significant moment in British politics. The central figure is Mr. Gladstone, the Prime Minister at the time, who had just presented his 1864 Budget. With a surplus of £2,570,000 from the previous year's finances, Gladstone was able to make several notable changes. In this cartoon-like illustration, we see Mr. Gladstone on the right side offering symbolic gifts to Disraeli (representing the Agricultural Party) as a gesture of compromise. He hands him a penny to represent income tax reduction and some sugar to symbolize lowered duties. Additionally, he presents Disraeli with a fire medal indicating reduced fire insurance duty. The background features an image displaying the surplus amount while cleverly hiding Gladstone's switch for future use behind it. This satirical element adds humor to the scene. Notably absent from these offerings is any mention of malt duties; however, Gladstone assures that it will be addressed later on. This artwork provides insight into both political maneuvering and social commentary during this era in Britain's history. It showcases Tenniel's talent for caricature and satire while highlighting important financial decisions made by one of Britain's most renowned statesmen - William Ewart Gladstone - during his tenure as Prime Minister.
