EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sketches in the House of Commons at the Election of a New Speaker" takes us back to 19th century London, immersing us in the heart of British politics. The image, originally published in The Illustrated London News on March 8,1884, offers a glimpse into the historic moment when a new speaker was being elected. The scene is bustling with activity as politicians and influential figures fill the grand hall of Parliament Buildings. With meticulous detail and skillful strokes, the English School artist captures both the gravity and excitement that permeate this significant event. We see individuals engaged in intense discussions while others eagerly await their turn to cast their votes. At the center of attention stands an imposing figure seated upon the iconic Speaker's Chair – a symbol of authority and impartiality within these hallowed walls. This enigmatic character is none other than Mr Peel, whose presence commands respect from all those present. Through this artwork, we are transported to an era where political power dynamics were shaped within these very walls. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our fascination with politics remains unchanged. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we can't help but be captivated by its historical significance and marvel at how it continues to resonate with contemporary audiences today.
