Description Cartoon, A Surprising Success (Electoral Reform)
Details

Cartoon, A Surprising Success -- John Bull congratulates Lord Derby, Conservative Prime Minister, on his success in winning the 'Reform Stakes', using horseracing as a metaphor for electoral reform. Bull didn't think it would be possible. Derby's political colleague, Benjamin Disraeli, can be seen in the background, as a jockey riding a horse from Derby's 'Stables'. The Liberal Party had tried to bring in reform when they were in government, without success, leaving the field open to the incoming Conservative government.
