The New Houses of Parliament - Bas-reliefs in the Prince's Chamber - Lady Jane Grey and... 1857. Creator: Unknown
The New Houses of Parliament - Bas-reliefs in the Prince's Chamber - Lady Jane Grey and her tutor, Ascham, 1857. One of a...series of historic tableaux which enrich the walls of this elegant apartment...The first...represents Lady Jane Grey at her studies; the incident being her old tutor, Dr. Roger Ascham, discovering his pupil, and asking her how it is that she should be studying her books whilst her relations and friends are enjoying the sports of the field. She is here represented, in her meek way, listening; or it may be just answering her tutor's interrogation. The costume of the period has been adhered to in the treatment of the subject. The arrangement of the folds in Lady Jane's dress is simple and graceful. The walls of the room are hung with tapestry. The suspended curtain in the left-hand corner is not in keeping with arrased apartments of the period of this incident. But the group is a clever composition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, created in 1857, showcases a bas-relief depiction of Lady Jane Grey and her tutor, Dr. Roger Ascham, in the Prince's Chamber of the New Houses of Parliament. This intriguing tableau is part of a series of historic scenes that grace the walls of this elegant apartment. The first scene represents Lady Jane Grey in her study, engrossed in her books, while her relatives and friends enjoy the sports of the field. Her old tutor, Dr. Ascham, is shown discovering her in this quiet moment and inquiring as to why she is studying instead of joining the festivities. Lady Jane, with her meek demeanor, listens attentively to her tutor or perhaps answers his question. The costume of the period has been meticulously recreated in this scene, with Lady Jane's dress featuring a simple and graceful arrangement of folds. The room is adorned with tapestry, adding to the richness and grandeur of the setting. Although the suspended curtain in the left-hand corner is not in keeping with the austere decor of the period, the group as a whole is a clever and intriguing composition. This photograph print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1857, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when education and dedication to learning were valued above all else. The intricate details and historical accuracy of the scene make it a fascinating and beautiful addition to any collection.
