EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon, titled "Entracte," depicts a pensive Benjamin Disraeli, dressed as a Victorian householder, and Sir Stafford Northcote, attired as a washerwoman, deep in conversation by the doorstep of the Treasury. The deficit, represented by a large pile of dirty coins, looms ominously behind them. Disraeli, with a worried expression, suggests the only solution to their financial woes: "Dis-solution," or the dissolution of Parliament and calling for a General Election. Northcote, with a determined look, grabs a scrubbing brush and attempts to clean the doorstep, symbolizing their efforts to address the budget deficit through traditional financial means. The cartoon, created in 1880 by Terry Parker for Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a satirical commentary on the political climate of the time. Disraeli, as the Tory Prime Minister, and Northcote, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, were under immense pressure to address the growing financial crisis. The cartoonist cleverly employs the metaphor of household chores to highlight the political dilemma, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the need for decisive action. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian politics, showcasing the intricacies of the political process and the challenges faced by those in power. With Disraeli and Northcote at the helm, the British government ultimately chose to dissolve Parliament and call for a General Election, which took place in late 1880. The outcome of the election saw the Conservatives retaining their majority, allowing them to continue their efforts to address the financial crisis and maintain stability in the country.
