EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in British parliamentary history, depicting the Movers and Seconders of the addresses in both Houses of Parliament in response to Queen Victoria's Speech in 1862. The Hon. W.H.B. Portman, eldest son of the first Lord Portman, is prominently featured in the image. Born in London in 1820, Portman was educated at Eton and Merton College, Oxford, and married Mary Selina Charlotte Wentworth Fitzwilliam, daughter of the late Viscount Milton. He served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Somersetshire and Dorsetshire and was Colonel of the West Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry. Portman had previously represented Shaftesbury in the House of Commons from 1852 to 1857 before being elected as one of the members for Dorset. Dressed in the uniform of the West Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry, Portman can be seen moving the Address in the House of Commons. This historic moment was captured by the renowned photographers John and Charles Watkins of Parliament-street and later turned into this intricately detailed engraving. The image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of British parliamentary proceedings during the Victorian era.
