EDITORS COMMENTS
The Licensing Question, Sketches at the London County Council" is a captivating engraving by Thomas Walter Wilson that takes us back to the political atmosphere of 19th-century London. The print captures a pivotal moment during a council meeting where important decisions about licensing are being discussed. In this scene, Mr. Grain presents his report on the licensing issue while Mr. Charrington attentively reads it. Their experience and expertise shine through as they advise on the treatment and personal experiences related to this matter. The chairman, along with other clerical councillors elected to represent their constituents' interests, denounces certain actions taken by the committee and speaks passionately about propriety in local government affairs. Amidst differing opinions among politicians present in the room, one figure stands out - Mr. John Burns of London. He agrees with some aspects of the licensing committee's proposals but also offers alternative perspectives for consideration. As we observe this historical gathering unfold, notable figures such as Mr. Poland, Sir C Russell, and Mr. McDougall engage in lively discussions within an ornate setting reminiscent of Trocadero or an aquarium. Wilson's meticulous attention to detail brings this intriguing moment in history to life through his skilled engravings captured here for our admiration today.
