The Rising “Buffo?”
John Tenniel, artist
Swain, engraver
Punch (31 January 1880)
Bendizzy (the Old Professional). “H’m! Plenty of ‘Go’ — But no Finish!”
Disraeli, the experienced professional, listens to a singer holding rolled up music labeled “Liberal Club” and tells the man next to him with a program labelled “Karcour/Birmin[gham]” that the Liberal opponents in that city have no staying power. In Performer and Critic Tenniel draws Dizzy watching Gladstone skating.
