'Who Will Rouse Him? ', 1859. Artist: Unknown

'Who Will Rouse Him?', 1859. The British Lion rests quietly against a wall whilst the three most prominent politicians advocating parliamentary reform prod him with 'reform' spears. They are, from left to right, the Quaker John Bright, the Conservative Disraeli and the Liberal Lord John Russell. Which of them will succeed in waking the Lion? At this time, Lord Derby's Conservative Government was still in power.  From Punch, or the London Charivari, March 12, 1859.
