EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in British history - the Royal Commission in the House of Lords in June 1846. The image showcases the grandeur and importance of this event, with members of the commission seated around a table, ready to give their assent to the Corn Bill. This legislation, which aimed to regulate the import of corn into Britain, had far-reaching implications for both farmers and consumers at the time.
The intricate details captured in this print transport us back to a time when decisions were made by an elite group within the walls of Parliament. The historical significance of this moment is palpable as we see these distinguished individuals gathered together to debate and ultimately approve such important legislation.
As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of how much has changed since that fateful day in June 1846. Yet, some things remain constant - like the power and influence wielded by those who sit within these hallowed halls.
This print serves as a reminder of our rich political history and how decisions made centuries ago continue to shape our world today. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of those who came before us and reminds us that every action taken in government has lasting consequences for generations to come.
