EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Burning of the Houses of Parliament 1834" takes us back to a significant moment in British history. Created by Paul Hardy in 1920, this print captures the chaos and destruction that unfolded during the infamous fire that engulfed the iconic Houses of Parliament. The image transports us to a scene filled with turmoil and unrest. The mob is depicted wearing various costumes, reflecting the diversity of those involved in these riots. Horses gallop through the streets as flames consume one of England's most cherished landmarks. Soldiers armed with weapons attempt to control the situation but are seemingly overwhelmed by both fire and fury. Hardy's attention to detail brings this historical event vividly to life. Every stroke on this engraving tells a story - from billowing smoke rising into an ominous sky to architectural details meticulously captured before their demise. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of a physical tragedy but also its symbolic significance for English history. The burning down of such an emblematic structure serves as a powerful metaphor for societal upheaval and political change. Preserved within private collections today, this lithograph allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating art's ability to immortalize pivotal moments like these forevermore.
