EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in British political history - the introduction of the Budget by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The scene is set in the iconic House of Commons on 16 April, where politicians gather to discuss and debate matters that shape the nation's financial policies. The image showcases an atmosphere filled with anticipation and intensity as Sir Michael takes center stage. Dressed in formal attire, he stands tall at the podium, exuding confidence and authority. His gestures command attention from his fellow parliamentarians who are seated around him. The artist, Samuel Begg, skillfully portrays this historic event with meticulous detail. Every figure in this crowded chamber seems engrossed in their own thoughts or engaged in animated conversations about economic matters that will impact every citizen's life. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on 25 April 1896. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when politics played out within these hallowed walls. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but appreciate how much has changed while acknowledging that some aspects of parliamentary debates remain timeless. This print serves as a reminder of our democratic traditions and highlights the significance of budgetary decisions made within these walls – decisions that shape economies and affect people's lives far beyond those grand Parliament buildings in London.
