EDITORS COMMENTS
The Twisting Coalition, c. 1826" is a captivating lithograph that offers a satirical glimpse into the political landscape of 19th century England. Measuring 21.6x12.7 cm, this print showcases the artistic prowess of the English School from that era. Displayed at Leeds Museums and Art Galleries (Abbey House Museum) in the UK, this artwork features a poem titled "The Twisting Coalition" which was printed by Robinson & Hernaman, Intelligence Office in Leeds. The verses shed light on parliamentary politics prior to the implementation of the Reform Bill in 1832. During this time, Leeds lacked its own Members of Parliament and only had two representatives for all of Yorkshire. The poem mentions notable figures such as Lord Milton, a Whig who won a narrow election victory over Henry Lascelles in 1807, and John Marshall, an influential mill owner who became one of the first industrialists to hold a seat in parliament after his election in 1826. This lithograph not only serves as historical documentation but also highlights the intricate relationship between power and influence during that period. With its misty atmosphere depicted through foggy landscapes illuminated by moonlight or sunlight peering through narrow spaces, "The Twisting Coalition" captures both an atmospheric mood and political intrigue within its frame. © Leeds City Council holds ownership rights to this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images.
