EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a moment of political intrigue and betrayal in 1802, as George Tierney falls between two stools - a tattered Whig Stool and a smart Tory Stool. Standing on either side are the amused figures of Fox and Addington, watching as the Opposition MP struggles to find his place.
Tierney had hoped to secure an office under Addington's leadership but was hesitant to be the only Whig to join him. His attempts to persuade other Foxite and Portland Whigs to come on board failed, leading him to be criticized as a traitor by his peers.
The image symbolizes the precarious position that Tierney found himself in, torn between loyalty to his party and personal ambition. As he falls between the two stools, it becomes clear that he has lost favor with both sides of the political spectrum.
This snapshot of history serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by politicians seeking power and influence. The expressions of amusement on Fox and Addington's faces hint at their awareness of Tierney's predicament, making this image a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century British politics.
