The First London County Council - A Glimpse into the Birth of Local Governance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - the formation of The First London County Council. Taken by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving provides a rare glimpse into the birth of local governance. The image showcases esteemed individuals who played crucial roles in shaping London's future. From Mr. James F Torr and Mr. Henry Clarke to Lady Sandhurst and Lord Monkswell, these influential figures represent various districts across the city, including West St Pancras, North Islington, South Kensington, West Marylebone, and many more. Assembled together for this iconic portrait are men and women from diverse backgrounds united by their commitment to improving their beloved city. Their dedication is palpable as they stand tall with determination etched on their faces. This historic event took place on June 8th, 1889 when The Graphic published this illustration as a testament to progress and change.
