EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in British political history, with The House of Commons in Walpole's Administration taking center stage in the late 1720s or early 1730s. Sir Robert Walpole, the first Prime Minister of Great Britain, is seen on the left, deep in conversation with Speaker Arthur Onslow, who sits in his chair with a serious expression, gesturing towards Walpole as if calling him to speak. Walpole's cabinet colleagues, including Sidney Godolphin, Sir Joseph Jekyll, Edward Stables, and Sir James Thornhill, are also present, all dressed in their distinctive wigs. Thornhill, the father-in-law of renowned artist William Hogarth, adds an intriguing connection to the scene. The House of Commons, located in Westminster, London, was the heart of British parliamentary democracy, and this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the government during Walpole's tenure. The political intrigue, power dynamics, and formal attire of the time are beautifully captured in this evocative print.
