EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and significance of the Opening of Parliament in the 19th century. The Lord Chancellor, adorned in his ceremonial robes, stands tall as he reads the Royal Speech in the House of Lords. The opulent surroundings of the parliament buildings provide a majestic backdrop to this historic event. The image showcases a momentous occasion when power and authority converge. Queen Victoria's presence is implied through her representative, as her royal speech sets forth important policies and agendas for the nation. The solemnity on display reflects both tradition and progress, as lawmakers gather to shape the future of their country. The intricate details within this print transport us back to a time when royalty held great influence over political affairs. Every aspect has been meticulously captured by an anonymous English School artist, ensuring that viewers can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. This particular print was featured in The Illustrated London News on February 10th, 1866, allowing readers to witness this pivotal moment from afar. Now preserved within a private collection, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and offers us an opportunity to reflect upon how far we have come since then.
