EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a momentous piece of history within the New Palace of Westminster. The focal point is the magnificent Statue of Grattan, proudly standing in St Stephens Hall. The statue itself exudes grandeur and power, depicting Henry Grattan, an influential Irish politician known for his impassioned speeches advocating for Irish independence. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the weight of his legacy. Surrounded by the opulence of the palace's architecture, St Stephens Hall serves as a fitting backdrop for such an important figure. Its intricate details and towering columns speak to the significance of this space within British politics. This engraving was originally created for The Illustrated London News in May 1858, offering readers a glimpse into one of London's most iconic landmarks at that time. Now preserved in a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, it allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical context. As we delve into this image from Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are reminded not only of Grattan's impact on politics but also how art can immortalize individuals who have shaped our world.
