In double glazed frame. In April 1835 Disraeli fought a by-election at Taunton as a Tory. Daniel O’Connell, misled by inaccurate press reports, thought Disraeli had slandered him while electioneering at Taunton; he launched an outspoken attack, referring to Disraeli as: ‘a reptile ... just fit now, after being twice discarded by the people, to become a Conservative. He possesses all the necessary requisites of perfidy, selfishness, depravity, want of principle, etc., which would qualify him for the change. His name shows that he is of Jewish origin. I do not use it as a term of reproach; there are many most respectable Jews. But there are, as in every other people, some of the lowest and most disgusting grade of moral turpitude; and of those I look upon Mr. Disraeli as the worst.’ Estimate €300-€500 (approx £260-£440) Click Here for Large Images & To Bid 70 71 1833-1843 Daniel O’Connell, political cartoons featuring the Liberator.
