EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in English history - the Privy Council meeting in 1770. The image showcases that portion of the council known to include the King's Friends, who are seated around a grand table adorned with rolls of paper. These rolls represent petitions presented to the King from various regions such as Middlesex, Buckingham, Westminster, Southwark, Devonshire, Worcester, Exeter, Essex, and Kent. The engraving beautifully depicts this scene using a retro-styled illustrative technique commonly seen during the Victorian era. Its intricate details transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into an important aspect of England's political and administrative system. As we admire this historic artwork today, it evokes feelings of nostalgia and fascination for those interested in old-fashioned traditions and cultural heritage. The aged appearance adds to its charm while reminding us of its historical significance. This print from the Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also provides insight into how councils operated during this period. It serves as a reminder of our rich past and encourages us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
