EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "At the Bar of the House of Commons, the Speaker reprimanding the Editor and Publisher of the 'Globe'" captures a significant moment in history. In this lithograph by Douglas Macpherson, we witness an intense scene unfolding within the hallowed walls of Parliament. The image showcases a powerful confrontation between two prominent figures: The Speaker and Mr. Madge, Editor and Publisher of the renowned newspaper, The Globe. As they stand before the bar, their expressions reveal tension and anticipation. This illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on August 24th, 1901. It serves as a visual representation of justice being served within legislative chambers. The Speaker's role is to maintain order and ensure that all members uphold their duties with utmost integrity. In this particular instance, it appears that Mr. Madge has fallen short in his responsibilities as an editor and publisher. His actions have tarnished not only his own reputation but also that of The Globe itself – symbolized by its unspotted treasure. Through this engraving, Macpherson skillfully conveys both judgment and censure while capturing London's iconic House of Commons interiors as a backdrop. This historical artwork invites us to reflect upon our duty to disseminate accurate information responsibly while reminding us that even those entrusted with great power are subject to scrutiny when they fail to fulfill their obligations.
