EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Vice Versa, the Old Chancellor of the Exchequer and the New" by Sydney Prior Hall takes us back to a significant moment in history. This print, dating back to 1886, showcases two prominent figures from British politics during that time. The image depicts the transition of power between the outgoing Chancellor of the Exchequer and his successor. In this thought-provoking artwork, we witness a symbolic passing of the torch as these politicians stand before Parliament buildings in London. The artist's attention to detail brings out their distinct personalities and positions within society. The old chancellor exudes wisdom and experience while handing over his responsibilities to the new face who carries an air of anticipation for what lies ahead. This engraving was originally created for publication in The Graphic on September 25th, 1886. It serves as a visual representation of political change and continuity within British governance at that particular moment in time. Preserved within a private collection today, this historical piece offers viewers a glimpse into past political landscapes and reminds us of how power transitions shape our societies.
