EDITORS COMMENTS
A Memento of the Great Public Question of Reform: This historic print captures the momentous occasion of the Reform Bill debate in the 1830s, a pivotal period in British history that led to significant electoral reform. King William IV is depicted in the center, surrounded by key figures of the time, including the Duke of Sussex, Lord John Russell, Lord Grey (Prime Minister), Lord Althorpe, Lord Brougham, Lord Lansdowne, Lord Holland, Sir Francis Burdett, O'Connell, Hume, Stanley, Duke of Cumberland, Duke of Wellington, Eldon, Wetherall, and Croker. The allegorical figures of Britannia and the British Lion stand proudly, while a defeated dragon representing the rotten boroughs lies at their feet. The Reform Bill, which aimed to expand the electoral franchise and reduce the power of the aristocracy, was a democratic response to widespread public discontent with the electoral system. This print serves as a visual record of the intense political debates and negotiations that took place during this period, ultimately leading to the passage of the Reform Act of 1832 and the establishment of a more democratic political landscape in Britain.
