EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1642, offering a glimpse into the historic House of Commons. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving is part of a private collection and has been digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity. The image captures a pivotal moment in history, as it was created as an illustration for Mason Jackson's book "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress" published in 1885. The woodcut technique used adds depth and texture to the scene, evoking a sense of authenticity. Intriguingly, this engraving sheds light on early journalism practices with its depiction of newspapers scattered across tables within the House. These illustrated papers were instrumental in disseminating news to the public during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to a time when political debates echoed through these hallowed halls. It serves as a reminder of how far our democratic institutions have come since then. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from their Fine Art Finder collection. Its presence allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also provides valuable insight into our rich journalistic heritage.
