The Lobby of the House of Commons, c1910
The Members Lobby is a hallway in the Palace of Westminster used by members of the House of Commons, the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Members of Parliament may congregate here for informal discussions. The Members Lobby was restored after its destruction in World War II. The bomb-damaged arch at the entrance to the Commons was retained. It is now known as the Churchill Arch. Here we see the Lobby in its original state, before its near destruction in the blitz. From a Pictorial Record of Remarkable Events in The History of the World, published by James Sangster and Co. c1910

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Lobby of the House of Commons in c1910. Located within the iconic Palace of Westminster, this hallway served as a gathering place for members of Parliament to engage in informal discussions and debates. Before its near destruction during World War II, this architectural masterpiece stood untouched, showcasing its remarkable beauty. The photograph showcases intricate details such as the magnificent archway at the entrance, which still bears scars from bomb damage but has since been renamed as the Churchill Arch in honor of Sir Winston Churchill. The image portrays a bustling scene with men dressed in formal attire engaging in conversations while surrounded by elegant decor. The chandelier hanging from above illuminates their surroundings, adding an air of sophistication to this political hub. Notably, books can be seen scattered throughout the lobby, symbolizing knowledge and intellectual discourse that took place within these walls. This historic snapshot provides a glimpse into a bygone era when politics and literature intertwined to shape British society. Preserved through time thanks to James Sangster and Co. 's publication "A Pictorial Record of Remarkable Events in The History of the World" this engraving immortalizes an important moment in history. It serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and political legacy that continues to resonate within Britain's Houses of Parliament today.
