Out of The Race, 1864. Artist: John Tenniel
Out of The Race, 1864. Gladstone says: Permit me to explain - Democracy - Palmerston replies: Oh, bother your explanations! You ve blown your horse, and you re out of The Race. Here, an angry Palmerston leads Gladstone back to the stables, his horse having been blown. It is most probable that the race he is out of is the inevitable race to be the next leader of the Liberal Party, given that by now, Palmerston was approaching 80 years of age. In May 1864, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Gladstone, spoke up in favour of a private members bill proposing the extension of the borough franchise to £ 6. This was in spite of the fact that the government opposed the bill and that the PM, Palmerston, had actually requested that Gladstone avoid making any promises on behalf of the government. From Punch, or the London Charivari, June 11, 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Out of The Race, 1864" by John Tenniel captures a humorous and satirical moment in British politics during the 19th century. In this scene, we see an angry Lord Palmerston leading William Gladstone back to the stables after his horse has been blown. The context suggests that they are metaphorically out of the race for leadership within the Liberal Party. The image reflects a clash between democracy and aristocracy as Gladstone, represented as a jockey, attempts to explain his actions in supporting a bill against government opposition. However, Palmerston dismisses his explanations with frustration, symbolizing the power dynamics at play within political circles. Tenniel's cartoon-like style adds to the light-heartedness of the scene while also conveying deeper political commentary. The monochrome engraving emphasizes contrasts between black and white - perhaps representing moral clarity versus ambiguity or highlighting societal divisions. This artwork serves as both entertainment and social critique, showcasing how even prominent figures like Palmerston and Gladstone can be subject to ridicule. It reminds us that politicians are not immune to mistakes or setbacks in their pursuit of power. Overall, "Out of The Race" provides insight into Victorian-era politics through its clever symbolism and witty portrayal of two influential statesmen caught up in their own political drama.
