EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a pivotal moment in British history as Queen Victoria (1819-1901) receives advice from Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898) regarding the abolition of the purchase of commissions in the army. Taken in July 1871, the image finds Victoria, dressed in a regal red velvet suit, attentively listening to Gladstone as he delivers his counsel. The Prime Minister, wearing a dark suit and sitting in a chair, is seen with a serious expression, conveying the gravity of the issue at hand. The backdrop to this historic scene is adorned with an aspidistra plant, a popular decorative choice during the Victorian era. The event marks a significant shift in military recruitment practices, moving away from the sale of commissions and towards a more merit-based system. Gladstone, a prominent figure in British politics, was known for his liberal reforms and commitment to social justice. His advice to Victoria on this matter reflects his dedication to creating a more equitable military structure. The photograph serves as a testament to the power of political discourse and the role of key figures in shaping the course of history. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness a pivotal moment in the annals of British history.
