Cartoon, A Surprising Success (Electoral Reform)

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. Derbys political colleague, Benjamin Disraeli, can be seen in the background, as a jockey riding a horse from Derbys 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. Date: 1867
