Movers and Seconders of the addresses in both Houses of Parliament in answer to the Queen's... 1862 Creator: Unknown
Movers and Seconders of the addresses in both Houses of Parliament in answer to the Queen's Speech: Mr. Western Wood, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by...John and Charles Watkins, of Parliament-street. Mr. Western Wood is the third son of the late Alderman Sir Matthew Wood, Bart, (who was for upwards of thirty-five years one of the members for the city of London, and was at one time well known for his advocacy of the cause of Caroline, Queen of George IV.), by Maria, daughter of John Page, Esq. of Woodbridge, Suffolk. He is brother to Sir John Page Wood, Bart. of Rivenhall Place, Essex, and Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood. He was educated at Winchester, married, in 1829, Sarah Letitia, daughter of John Morris, Esq. Mr. Wood is an eminent merchant in the city of London, Warden of the Fishmongers Company, and a magistrate for the county of Kent. In fulfilling the necessity of appearing in full dress, as seconder of the Address, he presented something of a novelty, inasmuch as he wore a plain black Court costume. It is many years since any member of the House occupied that position who was not entitled to wear some kind of uniform'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in British parliamentary history, depicting the Movers and Seconders of the addresses in both Houses of Parliament in response to Queen Victoria's Speech in 1862. The image features Mr. Western Wood, a prominent merchant in the city of London and Warden of the Fishmongers' Company, who seconded the address in the House of Commons. Mr. Wood is the third son of the late Sir Matthew Wood, a long-serving member of Parliament for the city of London and an advocate for the cause of Queen Caroline during the controversial divorce proceedings of King George IV. He is shown wearing a plain black Court costume, a departure from the usual uniforms worn by members occupying this position. Educated at Winchester, Mr. Wood married Sarah Letitia Morris, daughter of John Morris, Esquire, in 1829. He was a magistrate for the county of Kent and an eminent figure in London society. The necessity of appearing in full dress for this ceremonial role presented a novelty, as it had been many years since a member without a uniform had fulfilled this duty. The engraving is a testament to the tradition and pageantry of British parliamentary proceedings and offers a glimpse into the lives of the individuals who played a role in shaping the country's political landscape during this period.
