EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Stewards Court of the Manor of Torre Devon, 1820" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The scene depicted here is none other than the House of Lords during the infamous Bill of Pains and Penalties proceedings against Queen Caroline. Painted with remarkable detail by an anonymous artist, this artwork offers a glimpse into the dramatic events that unfolded during this tumultuous period. As we observe the image closely, our attention is immediately drawn to Queen Caroline herself. Seated atop a black ram with the face of Bartolomo Pergami, her alleged lover, she exudes an air of defiance amidst a sea of onlookers. Peers from all corners are crowded together eagerly awaiting her entry into the court. Accompanying her are notable figures such as Alderman Wood, Lord Denman, and Lushington - individuals who played crucial roles in supporting Queen Caroline's cause. Their presence adds depth and significance to this historic composition. The artist skillfully captures not only the grandeur of Stewards Court but also conveys underlying tensions through clever caricatures and symbolism. This etching serves as both a testament to British society at that time and an enduring reminder of one woman's fight for justice. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for future generations to appreciate, this vibrant color print transports us back two centuries ago when power struggles dominated political landscapes while showcasing artistic brilliance in capturing historical moments forever frozen in time.
