EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of the House of Lords in Westminster, London. The artist, Excelsior Stereoscopic Tours, beautifully captures the intricate architecture and interior decoration of this historic chamber. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the Woolsack positioned just left of center between two sets of benches. This is where the Lord Chancellor (now known as the Lord Speaker) presides over proceedings. The Gothic Revival style dominates the space, with its ornate details and majestic presence. The lighting in this photograph adds a touch of drama to the scene. A magnificent chandelier hangs from above, casting a warm glow on every corner of this palace-like setting. It's easy to imagine how these surroundings would have influenced important political discussions that shaped British history. The collaboration between architect Sir Charles Barry and designer Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin truly shines through in this image. Their vision for creating a harmonious blend of Victorian elegance and governmental functionality is evident throughout. This monochrome snapshot not only showcases an iconic piece of British heritage but also serves as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and design sensibilities from the 19th century. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when politics unfolded within these hallowed walls – an enduring symbol of power and democracy.
