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.
