EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic "Meeting of the Bimetallic League at Manchester" in the 19th century. The image showcases a group of distinguished individuals who played significant roles in this important gathering. Among them are Mr. Robert Barclay, Mr. William Westgarth MP, and Mr. Elijah Helm from the Bimetallic League, all seen engaged in deep discussion. The meeting was held to discuss matters related to finance and bimetallism, a monetary system that utilized both gold and silver as standard currency. Professor JS Nicholson can be seen diligently taking notes as he fulfills his role as secretary during this momentous occasion. The portrait-style composition allows us to appreciate each individual's contribution to the league's cause. Notable figures such as President Mr. Stephen Williamson, Professor HS Foxwell, and Sir H M Meysey Thompson CMG stand out among others present. This print is an invaluable historical document that offers insight into the economic debates of its time while also providing a glimpse into Victorian society's intellectual circles. Preserved within private collections for years, this engraving now resurfaces through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform for all art enthusiasts to admire and study further. It serves as a reminder of how past meetings like these have shaped our understanding of economics today.
