Framed Print of Admission to the Strangers Gallery of the House of Commons: Outsiders - No
Admission to the Strangers Gallery of the House of Commons, [Palace of Westminster]: Outsiders - No. 1 takes the chair, 1881. [Our] Artist...has cleverly delineated the process of filtering...visitors through the purgatorial corridor they have frequently to linger in ere they can gain admission to what they appear to regard as the seventh heaven of the Strangers Gallery...the requisite sixty having secured precedence by drawing lots, and having been marched like so many prisoners into the Inner Lobby, whence they climb to their coveted eyrie in the sanctum sanctorum, it is on the cards that our representative visitor will have to wait and patiently sit...in the corridor till another ballot takes place at six o'clock. He may consider himself lucky if he gets in then, as it sometimes happens that nine, ten, eleven o'clock passes, and still finds some unfortunate waiter on providence...shut out...the possession of a member's order does not procure instant admission to what some apparently deem paradise - before they reach there - and it is to be feared that the singularly small accommodation for the public desirous to hear the debates must continue until the present ridiculously inadequate and comfortless House of Commons is rebuilt'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
