Description
'The Angler's Return', 1859. This cartoon depicts Derby on the left in country tweeds with matching crown, and Disraeli on the right in boots with his rods slung across his back, as two fishermen returning from their outing. Derby has been fishing for votes in the counties, and Disraeli has returned from the boroughs. Sadly, for all their efforts neither of them has caught anything larger than a sprat. In the General Election of 1859 that followed the defeat of Disraeli's Reform Bill, the Conservatives made gains of some 30 seats. However, this was still not sufficient to give Derby a working majority. From Punch, or the London Charivari, May 21, 1859. (Photo by The Cartoon Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)
