EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the historic moment of the "Opening of Parliament, 'The Speaker comes!'" in 19th century London. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a remarkable scene filled with pomp and grandeur. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to February 9th, 1884 when this illustration was featured in The Illustrated London News. The ceremonial procession unfolds before our eyes as the Home Secretary leads a distinguished group of politicians towards the magnificent Parliament Buildings. The focal point of the composition is undoubtedly "The Speaker" who commands attention with his regal presence. Dressed in formal attire and adorned with symbols of authority, he symbolizes parliamentary democracy and represents the voice of all members present. Surrounding him are other notable figures such as the Lord Mayor and various politicians from different parties. Their expressions reflect a mix of anticipation and reverence for this significant event that marks the beginning of another legislative session. Every detail within this artwork speaks volumes about British tradition and political heritage. From intricate architectural elements to meticulously crafted costumes, it is evident that no expense was spared in creating an atmosphere befitting such an important occasion. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to marvel at history frozen in time – a reminder that even amidst changing times, certain rituals endure as symbols of continuity and democratic governance.
