EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in the political career of Charles Bradlaugh (1833-1891), a social reformer and prominent figure in British history. Elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Northampton in 1880, Bradlaugh refused to take the oath required to take his seat in the House of Commons due to his unbelief in God. The oath, a long-standing tradition in the British Parliament, required MPs to swear on the Bible and affirm their belief in God. Bradlaugh's stance was a bold challenge to the established order, and he was subsequently ejected from the House of Commons. The image shows Bradlaugh standing at the bar of the House, a symbolic location where MPs could address the Speaker and make appeals or motions. The engraving, dated 1880, captures the intensity and determination in Bradlaugh's gaze as he faces the Speaker and the assembled Members. Despite being unable to take his seat in Parliament, Bradlaugh continued his activism and advocacy for social reforms. He was re-elected in 1885, and in 1886, he finally relented and took the oath, allowing him to officially take his seat. This historical moment marked the end of a long-standing controversy and paved the way for future MPs who held different beliefs. This engraving is an important visual representation of the political and social climate of the late 19th century in Britain and the challenges faced by those who dared to challenge the status quo. It is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for individual rights and freedoms in the face of tradition and convention.
