EDITORS COMMENTS
The House of Commons in Sir Robert Walpole's administration captures a significant moment in British political history. In this print, we are transported back to the 18th century, where power and leadership were embodied by distinguished figures like Walpole himself. Seated at the right hand of the Speaker's chair is none other than Sir Robert Walpole, widely regarded as Britain's first Prime Minister. This image showcases not only the grandeur of Westminster Palace but also the intricate details of clothing and wigs that were fashionable during that era. The men depicted here exude authority and statesmanship, representing a time when politics was conducted with utmost decorum. The print serves as a reminder of Walpole's remarkable tenure from 1721 to 1742, which remains unmatched in length by any subsequent Prime Minister. It also features Arthur Onslow, who held the esteemed position of Speaker of the House during this period. Published in Parliament Past and Present by Arnold Wright and Philip Smith in London around 1905, this historical artifact allows us to delve into an era where government decisions shaped nations. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear debates echoing through those hallowed halls.
