EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in the House of Commons, Attack and Defence" takes us back to the 19th century political scene in England. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, offers a glimpse into the intense world of politics within the House of Commons. The image showcases a heated debate between prominent figures such as Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Parnell, with other notable politicians like Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Forster also present. As tensions rise, we witness an engaging clash between attack and defense amidst this iconic setting. The illustration originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on March 3rd, 1883 - a significant news item at that time. It captures the essence of political discourse during this era when issues surrounding Ireland were at their peak. Amongst these influential figures is Charles Stewart Parnell, known for his leadership role as Chief Secretary for Ireland. Joseph Chamberlain also stands out as a key player in this dynamic exchange. As we delve into this historical snapshot frozen in time by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how politics has always been driven by passion and conviction. This artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries later, our understanding of politics continues to be shaped by those who passionately defend their beliefs while others launch fierce attacks against them within the hallowed halls of power – the House of Commons.
