EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a historic moment in the political career of William Ewart Gladstone, one of Britain's most influential statesmen. Taken on 5 April 1880, after the Midlothian Election, the image shows Mr and Mrs Gladstone standing on a balcony at Lord Rosebery's House in George Street, Edinburgh. In this scene, Mr Gladstone addresses a jubilant crowd that has gathered below him. The atmosphere is electric as candles illuminate the faces of eager supporters who have come to hear their beloved leader speak. With his commanding presence and powerful oratory skills, Mr Gladstone captivates his audience with impassioned words. Beside him stands Catherine Gladstone, his devoted wife and trusted confidante throughout his political journey.
