EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a historic moment in British politics with remarkable detail and depth. This engraving by Thomas Walter Wilson takes us back to February 11,1893, as the country eagerly presents itself at the grand parliament opening. The image showcases a bustling scene within the hallowed halls of Westminster. Politicians from all walks of life gather to witness this significant event. The Premier enters amidst an atmosphere charged with anticipation and excitement. As he makes his way through the parliament buildings, weary politicians can be seen discussing matters of state while others find solace in their weariness. The extremes are evident - some individuals exude energy and enthusiasm for what lies ahead, while others display signs of tiredness and sleepiness after long hours dedicated to public service. Mr Balfour and Mr Gladstone stand out among them, their expressions reflecting both weariness and determination. In this snapshot of political life, we witness movers presenting credentials, seconders lending support to important motions, and representatives from Chiltern Hundreds engaging in ballot discussions. Sir W Harcourt stands tall as he addresses the assembly with eloquence that commands attention. This engraving not only immortalizes a pivotal moment but also offers us a glimpse into London's political landscape during that era – where glory meets fatigue; ambition intertwines with exhaustion; politics blend seamlessly with weariness. It serves as a reminder that even those who shape nations can succumb to human frailties like drowsiness or do
