EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to the year 1901, witnessing a significant moment in British political history. The image captures Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as he delivers his Annual Financial Statement on 18th April. The setting is none other than the grand Parliament Buildings in London. Surrounded by an array of esteemed politicians including Lord Stanley and Mr. Brodrick, Sir Hicks Beach stands at a lectern with confidence and authority. His words echo through the chamber as he unveils his budget for the year ahead. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and intrigue as members of parliament listen intently to every word uttered by their Chancellor. Amongst them are notable figures such as Mr. Sydney Bunton, Sir W Harcourt, Mr. Hanbury, Mr. Wyndham, and many others who play crucial roles in shaping Britain's politics. This historical print not only provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century politics but also serves as a reminder of how financial decisions have always been pivotal in governing nations. It encapsulates both the power wielded by those entrusted with managing public funds and the responsibility they bear towards their constituents. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Samuel Begg after Bridgeman Images' restoration work, we cannot help but marvel at its ability to transport us back in time - allowing us to witness firsthand one of Britain's most important annual events: The Budget Speech delivered by Sir Michael
