EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from 1893 captures the grandeur and drama of "The Opening Of Parliament: Incidents In The Commons". The image showcases a series of significant moments during this historic event. In the first scene, Mr. Balfour enters the chamber, exuding an air of authority and confidence. He stands alone in his glory, commanding attention as he takes his place among his peers. Meanwhile, Mr. Gladstone briefly becomes the sole member present during an interval preceding the discussion on the address. Sir W. Harcourt is depicted next, symbolizing his resignation from Parliament by taking up the Chiltern Hundreds position. This act represents a transition between political roles and responsibilities. The fourth and fifth scenes highlight two key figures: one representing country as the mover of the address and another representing town as its seconder. These individuals embody different perspectives within British society coming together for parliamentary discussions. As time passes with tedious deliberation, we witness two hours of weary ballot casting in scene seven – a testament to both democracy's endurance and its occasional monotony. "The Third-floor Back" refers to a metaphorical space where less influential members find themselves positioned within politics – often overlooked but still playing their part in shaping history. Finally, we see the premier presenting his credentials – a symbolic gesture that solidifies their role as leader of UK government. This nineteenth-century engraving not only offers insights into historical events but also serves as an illustrative technique capturing Victorian culture through its retro-styled artistry.
