EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Suez Canal Question in Parliament" takes us back to the 19th century, providing a glimpse into a significant political event of that time. The image showcases the intense atmosphere within the Houses of Parliament as politicians engage in a heated debate surrounding the Suez Canal. As we observe this historical scene, notable figures such as Sir Stafford Northcote and Marquess of Salisbury can be seen among others, each playing their part in addressing this pressing matter. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Attorney General, and Lord Chancellor are also present, emphasizing the gravity and complexity of this parliamentary session. The print captures an important moment when Mr. Bourke delivers a statement amidst fierce attacks from both sides of the House. Members from both the House of Lords and House of Commons attentively listen while London's elite press corps diligently records every word spoken. This artwork not only highlights key points of law but also provides insight into British politics during that era. It serves as a reminder that even then, politicians were engaged in passionate debates concerning matters affecting international relations and trade routes like the Suez Canal. "The Suez Canal Question in Parliament" is an invaluable piece depicting history unfolding before our eyes; it allows us to reflect on how political discussions have shaped our world today.
