EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to a significant moment in history - a session of the British Parliament in 1623. The image, preserved at the National Library in Madrid, transports us to 17th century England, offering a glimpse into the heart of political power during that era. As we observe this scene, we are reminded of the rich heritage and democratic traditions that have shaped Great Britain. The composition is horizontal, allowing us to fully appreciate the grandeur of this parliamentary gathering. The intricate details captured by the unknown artist draw our attention to every figure present - from distinguished politicians engaged in intense debates to attentive clerks meticulously recording each word spoken. Through this print, we witness an important chapter in English history unfold before our eyes. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of British democracy and its impact on shaping modern governance systems worldwide. Santiago Ortega's masterful engraving skillfully captures not only the physical setting but also conveys an atmosphere charged with intellectual fervor and political discourse. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect on how far society has come since those early days while acknowledging that many principles established then still resonate today.
