The Speakers New Rules, Character Sketches in the House of Commons
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of British politics during the 19th century. This artwork, featured in The Graphic on February 26,1881, takes us inside the hallowed halls of Parliament where privilege and justice collide. The scene depicts an array of politicians from different walks of life, each with their own unique character sketches. As rival whips strategize and plot behind closed doors, honourable members question matters of privilege and iniquity. Tragedy looms as some face exile while others bask in the upper crust of society. Amidst this political drama, we witness a momentary adjournment as all eyes turn to salute "Great Caesar" perhaps symbolizing a powerful figure or leader within this complex ecosystem. Meanwhile, wildlife animals subtly intermingle with their human counterparts - an artistic metaphor for the untamed nature lurking beneath political veneers. This engraving invites us to reflect on themes beyond mere politics; it delves into power dynamics and societal structures that shape our lives. It reminds us that even within esteemed institutions like the House of Commons, there exists both order and chaos – just like in any animal kingdom. "The Speakers New Rules" serves as a thought-provoking reminder that beneath every facade lies hidden truths waiting to be uncovered. Through its intricate details and masterful execution by Bridgeman Images' English School artist from Fine Art Finder collection
