EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of British politics - the induction of the Speaker elect, House of Commons, circa 1905. The image showcases a timeless tradition where the proposer and seconder guide the reluctant Speaker elect to their prestigious chair. The grandeur of the Houses of Parliament's interior serves as an impressive backdrop for this historic event. The ornate architecture and regal atmosphere symbolize the power and importance associated with British democracy. In this snapshot from over a century ago, we witness men dressed in formal attire, embodying statesmanship and political prowess. These individuals are members of parliament (MPs), dedicated to serving their constituents and shaping national policies. The photograph not only immortalizes this particular induction ceremony but also provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century Britain. It transports us back to an era when London was bustling with political activity, making it clear that Westminster Palace was at the heart of it all. As we delve into this visual time capsule curated by Arnold Wright and Philip Smith in their book "Parliament Past and Present" we gain insight into how traditions have shaped British politics throughout history. This print is a testament to both continuity and change within our democratic system, reminding us that even today's politicians stand on the shoulders of those who came before them.
