This print showcases William Court Gully, a prominent figure in British politics during the early 20th century. Taken around 1905, Gully is depicted wearing his traditional robes as Speaker of the House of Commons. Serving in this esteemed position from 1895 to 1905, Gully played a crucial role in maintaining order and facilitating debates within the chamber. The image offers an intriguing glimpse into the interior of the House of Commons, with its distinctive architecture and atmosphere. The grandeur of the space is enhanced by Gully's commanding presence as he stands confidently beside the iconic Speaker's chair. Gully's attire reflects both tradition and authority, with his wig and robe symbolizing his status as a statesman and member of parliament. His dignified demeanor further emphasizes his importance within British politics at that time.
