EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rutherford Alcock, a remarkable figure in British history. Born in 1809 and passing away in 1897, Alcock was not only an English army surgeon but also a distinguished diplomat. The photograph captures his dignified presence and hints at the incredible life he led. Alcock's diplomatic career took him to various corners of the world, including China and Japan. He served as Consul in Fuchow from 1844 and later in Shanghai from 1846. However, it was his role as the first Consul-general of Japan from 1858 to 1865 that truly solidified his place in history. During this time, he played a crucial role in establishing diplomatic relations between Britain and Japan. After leaving Japan, Alcock continued to make significant contributions as Minister-plenipotentiary Peking from 1865 to 1871. His tireless efforts helped shape British foreign policy towards China during this critical period. The woodburytype technique used for this photograph adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing its historical significance. Preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), this print offers us a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary man who dedicated himself to both medicine and diplomacy. As we admire this portrait of Rutherford Alcock, let us remember his invaluable contributions as a surgeon, diplomat, and representative of British interests abroad – forever etched within the annals of history.
