Cartoon, Dizzy's K'rect Card for the Derby (?) -- Benjamin Disraeli was stirring up his Buckinghamshire constituents in the run-up to a General Election, declaring that the Anglican Church was under threat, and promoting the 'safe' concept of lateral reform (a selective, non-radical extension of the franchise, rather than something more wide-ranging). He is portrayed here at the Epsom Derby (with Lord Palmerston and Mr Punch looking on in the background), as an urchin with bare feet and ragged clothes, calling out the names of the favourite horses.
