Antique British Parliament Photo Gibson, Cobden, Bright
This souvenir type carte de visite photograph shows three prominent British figures. They are: Thomas Milner Gibson, John Bright (both of Manchester, and the Houses of Parliament) and Richard Cobden. The first two had a part in the movement for repealing the taxes on knowledge. Cobden was a Liberal statesman who, with John Bright, formed the Anti-Corn Law League. The surface has some spotting, and a nick near the bottom border.
This is a fine photo of 19th century British history.
