EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the House of Commons in 1846, a pivotal moment in British political history. Sir Robert Peel, one of the most influential statesmen of his time, stands at the dispatch box passionately speaking on the subject of Free Trade. The atmosphere is charged with debate as members from both sides of the chamber engage in this crucial discussion. The image beautifully captures the grandeur and significance of this historic building, known as the Palace of Westminster or Houses of Parliament. Its intricate architecture serves as a backdrop for these intense political deliberations that shape the destiny of Britain. In this Victorian era scene, men dressed in formal attire fill every bench, representing various parties and ideologies. Among them are fellow politicians and Members of Parliament who listen attentively to Peel's words. As Prime Minister at that time, his voice carries weight and influence over government policies. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this photograph print published by Arnold Wright and Philip Smith around 1905. It is an invaluable visual record that allows us to witness firsthand an important moment in British politics while paying tribute to Sir Robert Peel's eloquence and leadership skills.
