The Opening of Parliament, Sketches in the House of Commons
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a fascinating lithograph capturing a significant moment in British history. The image, created by Alexander Stuart Boyd in 1898, provides us with a glimpse into the political atmosphere of that time. In this print, we witness the grandeur and solemnity of the parliamentary proceedings as members gather for the opening ceremony. The composition beautifully portrays politicians from various parties engaged in animated discussions and debates. Mr J G Butcher, the Home Secretary at that time, can be seen alongside other new members taking their seats for the first time. The Chancellor and Lord Milton are captured on the Treasury bench while Colonel Lockwood seconds an address to be delivered by another member. The Speaker presides over these deliberations with authority and dignity. As we observe this historic event unfold, our attention is drawn to Black Rod leading politicians towards the House of Lords. Meanwhile, Sir William Walrond and Lord Charles Beresford leave behind their roles within Parliament. This engraving offers us not only a visual record but also an insight into London's political landscape during this era. It serves as a reminder of how politics has evolved over time while highlighting its enduring importance in shaping society. This lithograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance – truly deserving its place among fine art collections worldwide.
