EDITORS COMMENTS
A Meeting of the Committee of National Defence" is a captivating lithograph that takes us back in time to the late 19th century. This historical print, created by Samuel Begg and now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into an important moment in British politics. The image depicts a gathering of influential politicians, including Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Devonshire, Mr. Goschen, Lord Lansdowne, and Mr. A. J. Balfour. These esteemed figures have come together as members of the Committee of National Defence to discuss matters crucial to the nation's security. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we can almost feel the weighty atmosphere permeating through their serious expressions and attentive postures. The artist's attention to detail shines through in every stroke; from their distinguished attire to the ornate surroundings that exude grandeur and power. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 23rd, 1899 – a testament to its significance during that era. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece capturing not only these prominent individuals but also offering insight into political dynamics at play during this period. Through this remarkable lithograph by Samuel Begg preserved within Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection – we are transported back in time and granted access to witness this pivotal meeting firsthand.
