| Description | Photographic view of the Commons Chamber, taken from the centre of the public gallery. The view takes in the north end of the Chamber, with the Speaker's Chair and Table and the Press Gallery. Caption on the reverse reads: "This world famous hall, 75 feet long, 45 feet wide, and 41 feet high, contrasts in its comparative plainness with the splendour of the House of Lords. The walls are panelled with oak. The Speaker's chair faces, with two corridors and the Central Hall between, the Throne and Woolsack in the House of Lords". Postcard published by Raphael Tuck & Son. |
