'Extremes Must Meet; or, A Bit of Practical Science', 1867. Artist: John Tenniel


'Extremes Must Meet; or, A Bit of Practical Science', 1867. Disraeli is joining the circle between the upper class on the right, and the lower class on the left. In the centre, is the bottle labelled 'reform'. This reflects Disraeli's fight for an extension of the franchise in the face of keen opposition from some of his own party. From Punch, or the London Charivari, April 13, 1867.
