EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Sketch of the Interior of St Stephens, as it now Stands" takes us back to the early 19th century and offers a glimpse into the political landscape of that time. Created by James Gillray, a renowned caricaturist, this hand-coloured engraving showcases various influential figures in British politics. The scene depicts members of Parliament gathered inside St Stephen's Hall. Among them are notable individuals such as William Wilberforce, George Tierney, and Henry Addington. The artist has masterfully captured their distinct personalities through exaggerated features and humorous depictions. As we explore the image further, we notice politicians engaged in animated discussions on ministerial benches while others stand attentively or take their seats. The Speaker's chair stands tall at the center of attention with its clerk nearby. Gillray's satirical touch is evident throughout this artwork as he cleverly incorporates elements like a treaty of peace hanging on the wall behind them. This subtle commentary adds depth to his portrayal of these influential figures and their role in shaping national affairs. Overall, this print not only serves as a historical document but also highlights Gillray's talent for capturing both physical likeness and political satire. It provides us with an intriguing window into the House of Commons during this period and invites us to reflect on how politics have evolved over time.
