EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Commission on Society" takes us back to the Christmas of 1888, immersing us in a scene that is both historical and thought-provoking. The image, captured by Tom Merry, showcases an interior courtroom setting where a royal commission is taking place. As we gaze at the print, our eyes are drawn to the figure of a judge seated prominently at the center of attention. Dressed in traditional judicial robes and emanating authority, he presides over proceedings with unwavering focus. Surrounding him are various individuals occupying gallery seats; their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation as they witness this significant moment unfold. The composition skillfully captures not only the grandeur of the courtroom but also highlights societal dynamics present during that era. The diverse group of spectators represents different walks of life - from lawyers and politicians to ordinary citizens who have come to observe justice being served. Through this photograph, we gain insight into how society functioned during this period while reflecting on its impact today. It serves as a reminder that justice has always been an integral part of human civilization – one that continues to shape our world even now. This remarkable piece can be found within a private collection and offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history's rich tapestry through art's lens. Its vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise distant past, allowing us to connect with those who came before us and appreciate their contributions towards shaping society as we know it today.
