EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The New House of Commons" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the political landscape of that era. The image showcases a group portrait of esteemed Members who had never before sat in Parliament, representing various divisions and boroughs across England and Scotland. The composition exudes an air of formality, with each politician meticulously positioned to convey their individual importance within this prestigious institution. Among them are notable figures such as Captain Charles William Selwyn from the Stroud Division, Mr. George Holloway representing Kilkenny City, and Mr. Henry Torrens Anstruther hailing from St Andrews Boroughs. As we observe this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that these politicians come from diverse backgrounds and affiliations - conservatives, Gladstonians, Parnellites, Unionists - all united by their shared responsibility to govern effectively. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every facial expression tells a story of dedication or determination. This print serves as a testament to the democratic process at work within the House of Commons during this period. "The New House of Commons" not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how politics has evolved since then. It reminds us that behind every decision made in Parliament lies the collective voice and vision of individuals committed to shaping society for generations to come.
