Description

In this photograph the area around the Speaker's chair is obscured by a smoke like substance in the air. The cause of the smoke is unknown but two of the three other prints which show similar images of the Common's Chamber are marked 'Smoke Test' on the back of the mount suggesting that it is not the result of fire.
