"Parliament: A Historical Reflection of Power, Politics, and Tragedy" Step into the world of parliament, where history unfolds with its share of triumphs and tragedies. From the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC to scenes of incredible violence in the Hungarian Parliament, these captivating engravings and lithographs depict pivotal moments that have shaped nations. In one engraving, we witness the chilling massacre of senators by Brennus—a haunting reminder that power can be wielded ruthlessly. Moving forward through time, we delve into Russia's turbulent past as a color lithograph captures the Tiflis City Council massacre—an event etched in blood-stained pages. The killing of Delyannis, President of the Greek Ministry in Athens, is vividly portrayed through another colorful lithograph. It serves as a somber testament to political unrest and personal sacrifice endured for ideologies. Hungary's parliamentary chaos takes center stage next—an explosive scene where a deputy attempts to assassinate their president. This striking color lithograph encapsulates both desperation and dissent within legislative walls. Shifting our gaze towards Moscow's iconic Kremlin captured in black-and-white photography circa 1905—its stoic presence stands witness to countless political dramas played out within its shadowed halls. Emmanuel Joseph Sieyes emerges from an 18th-century colored engraving—a visionary figure whose ideas on governance influenced generations to come. His intellectual prowess echoes throughout parliamentary history. The attire worn by members further reflects each era's distinctive fashion sense—the costume donned by a Member of the National Convention in 1793 showcases revolutionary fervor while an advocate's garb from Paris' Parlement de Paris transports us back to the vibrant streets during the 1580s. As we explore late 18th-century town costumes worn by councillors or peer members adorned with regal elegance—these lithographs offer glimpses into social hierarchies intertwined with political power dynamics.
