HC Deb 31 May 1864 vol 175 c912
MR. COX

said, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, Whether he can make any arrangements by which the public may have the opportunity of viewing Mr. Herbert's picture in the Peers' Robing Room?

MR. COWPER

said, in reply, that the public would be admitted to see the picture as soon as Mr. Herbert had satisfied himself that the solution with which he intended to cover it was so fixed that the picture would not be injured by the dust which would necessarily arise from large crowds of people passing through the room, who, no doubt, would be anxious to see this admirable work. He was not able to say when the picture would be open to view, but when Mr. Herbert had satisfied himself that the public might be admitted, they would see it on Saturdays at the time they were admitted to the rest of the building.
