The ministerial crisis (engraving)
728553 The ministerial crisis (engraving) by English School, (19th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: The ministerial crisis: Mr Gladstones last speech in the House of Commons as Prime minister - " I have no difficulty in pronouncing a judgment on behalf of the Ministry in issues that have been raised throughout this year between the two Houses. We take frankly, fully, and finally, the side of the House of Commons. The House of Commons could not be a final judge in its own case, and I am by no means anxious to preeipitate proceedings of that kind, however they may be invited by an impatience most natural in the circumstances of the case. No doubt, Sir, there is a higher authority than the House of Commons. It is the authority of the nation which must in the last resort decide. Happily, we know that we, all of us, are sufficiently trained in the habits of Constitutional freedom to regard that issue as absolutely final upon one and upon all alike of every one of these subjects."

Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving depicts Mr. Gladstone delivering his final speech in the House of Commons as Prime Minister. The intensity and gravity of the situation are palpable as he addresses the issues that have arisen between the two Houses. In his powerful oration, Mr. Gladstone unequivocally declares his allegiance to the House of Commons, asserting their role as a vital component of governance.
