Parliament in Session - A Glimpse into 17th Century Politics
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 17th century, immersing us in the heart of Westminster's Palace of Westminster. The image captures a significant moment as a prisoner stands at the bar, receiving an admonition from the Speaker during a session of Parliament in the reign of James I. The atmosphere is palpable within this historic interior; we can almost feel the weight of politics hanging in the air. Men dressed in elaborate Jacobean attire fill the grand hall, their cloaks and hats adding to the sense of regality. The iconic mace rests prominently on display, symbolizing authority and power. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported not only to a specific location but also to an era filled with political intrigue and societal change. This glimpse into British history reminds us that Parliament has been shaping our country for centuries. The creators behind this remarkable illustration are Arnold Wright and Philip Smith, who expertly captured King James I's reign through their lens. Their work allows us to witness firsthand how politics unfolded during this pivotal period when England was transitioning under one monarch from separate kingdoms into one united nation. This print serves as a testament to both its unknown creator's artistry and Wright and Smith's dedication to preserving historical moments for future generations. It is an invaluable piece that invites contemplation about our past while reminding us how far we have come
