Description
'The Frantic Footman, who has had Warning', 1859. The defeat of Disraeli's Reform Bill in March 1862 brought down Lord Derby's Conservative Government. Here, Derby is shown wearing the clothes of a servant. He is in the butler's pantry and his shoes show him to be an indoor servant - a 'house' servant. He has his left foot on the broken plate of reform and is just about to dash to the ground the engraved decanter of dissolution. He is the image of the disgruntled servant who, given notice, takes his revenge whilst he may on the treasured property of his employers. From Punch, or the London Charivari, April 16, 1859.
