Benjamin Disraeli (1804-81), Earl of Beaconsfield, Prime Minister of England (1868 and 1874-80), and Conservative leader, was one of the greatest and most colorful political figures in British history. A confidante of Queen Victoria, tireless champion of England, parliamentarian of genius, Disraeli was also a superb and enduring novelist and correspondent. This monumental portrait by Robert Blake is considered by many to be one of the finest political biographies ever written.
