The New House of Commons - A Glimpse into 19th Century Politics
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The New House of Commons" takes us back to the political landscape of 1886. The image showcases a gathering of esteemed members who had never before sat in Parliament, captured for publication in The Graphic. As we explore this historical snapshot, we are introduced to a diverse array of politicians from various divisions and parties. Among them are Major Marton, Mr. James Mellor Paulton, Bishop Auckland Division's Justice, and Liverpool's own Major George Blucher Heneage Marton. Each portrait tells a unique story within the tapestry of British politics. Representing constituencies such as South Worcestershire, North Kilkenny, Lancaster Division, and South Cork are notable figures like Mr. William Martin Murphy and Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Myres Sandys. Their presence reflects the wide-ranging interests that shaped parliamentary debates during this era. Notably present is Sir Richard Temple from North Tipperary alongside other influential individuals like Mr. L. R Baily and Mr. Albert George Kitching from Bootle Division. This print captures an atmosphere steeped in tradition yet on the cusp of change; it symbolizes both peace and political tension simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that even amidst shifting alliances and ideologies throughout history, the House of Commons remains at the heart of democratic governance. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for future generations to admire—a testament to their commitment to preserving our shared cultural heritage through fine art prints.
