Details |
Cartoon, The Lancashire Lions -- one of many cartoons focusing on the political rivalry between Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone. Disraeli had recently given a speech in Manchester, criticising the current Liberal government, referring to its ministers as "a range of exhausted volcanoes". Gladstone himself had given speeches in Lancashire, having been MP for South Lancashire until 1868, when the constituency was abolished and he went on to represent Greenwich.
