EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Opening of Parliament" offers a fascinating glimpse into the political arena of late 19th-century London. Captured by Samuel Begg and published in The Illustrated London News on February 12,1898, this lithograph showcases the grandeur and significance of this historic event. Intriguingly detailed, the image portrays a scene within the Parliament buildings as Lord Milton takes center stage to deliver an address.
