| Details |
The Carlton Club Banquet at the Riding-School, Knightsbridge, London showing a toast to Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), Lord Beaconsfield. The Carlton Club was founded in 1832 in the aftermath of the victory of the reforming party which passed the great Reform Act in that year. Membership of the Club was both a token of adherence to the Conservative party and, to the outside world, a badge of allegiance.
