In this photo print, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in British political history. The image showcases Arthur Balfour, the esteemed British Conservative statesman, as he valiantly defends the House of Lords against his Liberal counterpart, Henry Campbell-Bannerman. Crafted by the talented Richard Linley Sambourne for "Punch" magazine on December 5th, 1906, this cartoon encapsulates the essence of the era.
