Lord John Russell, 1792-1878
Caption
Lord John Russell, 1792-1878. On the defeat of Robert Peel in 1846, Russell became Prime Minister in his place. This cartoon shows him taking on Peel's mantle. He was of small stature, and this cartoon shows him physically inadequate to fill Peel's place and, by implication, politically inadequate. In the background Queen Victoria and Prince Albert look on. 1846
