EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch offers a glimpse into the historic trial of Queen Caroline, consort of George IV, which took place in the House of Lords on October 1, 1820. The interior view of the House of Lords is meticulously rendered, with the focus on the central table where Queen Caroline sits, surrounded by key figures involved in the trial. Seated around the table are the Judges, Bishops, the Lord Chancellor, the Attorney General (Sir R. Gifford), the Solicitor General (Mr. Serjt. Copley), and Mr. Gurney, the short-hand writer. In the foreground, Theodore Majocchi, the first witness against the Queen, and the Marquis of Spinette, the interpreter, can be seen standing. On the Queen's left, Mr. Brougham, Attorney General to the Queen, Mr. Denman, Solicitor General to the Queen, and Dr. Lushington are seated. The gallery on one side of the room is filled with supporters of the Treasury, while the gallery opposite is occupied by supporters of the Opposition. An empty throne occupies the center space in the background, symbolizing the absence of the monarch during the trial. This poignant image provides a unique insight into this significant moment in British history, offering a glimpse into the political and legal proceedings that unfolded within the hallowed halls of the House of Lords.
