Created by Thomas Walter Wilson in 1892, this print captures the essence and grandeur of an era long gone. The scene unfolds within the iconic parliament buildings in London. The room is filled with esteemed politicians who have gathered for one last session before the dissolution of Queen Victoria's twelfth parliament. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to June 16th, 1892 - a date etched into British political history. Amongst the sea of faces, one figure stands out: Mr. Gladstone himself.
