EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature portrays Sir John George Shaw-Lefevre (1797-1879), a prominent British figure during the Victorian era. Shaw-Lefevre was a barrister, Whig politician, and civil servant who made significant contributions to various aspects of British society, particularly in the areas of poverty alleviation and education. In 1834, following the implementation of the Poor Law Amendment Act, Shaw-Lefevre was appointed as a Poor Law Commissioner, tasked with overseeing the administration and enforcement of the new legislation. The act aimed to reform the poor relief system by establishing workhouses as a means of providing assistance to the destitute, while also encouraging able-bodied individuals to seek employment. Despite the controversial nature of the workhouse system, Shaw-Lefevre's dedication and efforts led to its successful implementation. He is depicted here in his commissioner's robes, holding a scroll inscribed with the words "Poor Laws" and "Workhouses." Shaw-Lefevre's commitment to education extended beyond poverty relief. He was one of the founding members of the University of London and served as its Vice-Chancellor for many years. His legal background and political acumen were instrumental in shaping the university's early development and securing its place as a respected institution. This caricature, created in the 1870s, captures the essence of Shaw-Lefevre's distinguished career. With his characteristic Wig and barrister's robes, he stands as a testament to the dedication and vision of a man who left an indelible mark on British history.
