EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures Charles Manners-Sutton, the first Viscount Canterbury, in his official capacity as Speaker of the House of Commons during the early 19th century. Dressed in the formal attire of the time, including a long, voluminous wig, Lord Canterbury sits confidently in the Speaker's Chair, exuding a sense of authority and gravitas. Born in 1780, Charles Manners-Sutton entered politics as a Member of Parliament for Derbyshire in 1806. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a Privy Counsellor in 1812 and Speaker of the House of Commons in 1827. He held this position until 1830, during a period of significant political upheaval, including the Reform Bill debates and the passage of the Catholic Emancipation Act. Despite the challenges of the time, Lord Canterbury is depicted here with a calm and resolute expression, suggesting his ability to maintain order and preside over the House with impartiality and fairness. The Speaker's Chair, with its ornate carvings and red velvet upholstery, adds to the sense of grandeur and importance of the role. Lord Canterbury's tenure as Speaker came to an end in 1830, but he continued to serve in various political capacities until his death in 1845. This image serves as a powerful reminder of his significant contributions to British political history and the importance of the role of the Speaker in maintaining the functioning of the House of Commons.
