1893 Commons Guests Parliament Terrace Westminster


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the rich history of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London, taken in the year 1893. The image, titled "Commons Terrace, 1893," depicts a scene of tranquility and camaraderie as Members of Parliament (MPs) and their esteemed guests take a break from the rigors of political debate to enjoy an afternoon tea on the terrace. The terrace, with its ornate iron balustrades and stunning views of the River Thames, serves as a picturesque backdrop for this historical gathering. The MPs, dressed in their formal attire, engage in animated conversations, while their guests, mostly women, delicately sip their tea from fine china cups. The terrace is adorned with an array of tables, each laden with an assortment of teacups, saucers, plates of sandwiches, and other delectable treats. The photograph offers a glimpse into the social and political landscape of the late 19th century, a time when the Houses of Parliament were at the heart of British political life. The image is a testament to the importance of tradition, hospitality, and diplomacy in the world of politics, as well as the enduring allure of the quintessentially British pastime of taking tea. This photograph, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document that transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to ponder the many changes that have taken place in British politics and society over the past century. The image is not only a captivating work of art but also a fascinating window into the history of the Houses of Parliament and the people who have shaped its legacy.
