Joseph Chamberlain, MP, President of the Board of Trade, 1881
Joseph Chamberlain, MP, President of the Board of Trade, 1881. Chamberlain (1836-1914) began his career as a Liberal and a campaigner for educational reform, and became President of the Board of Trade in Gladstones government formed in 1880. After disagreeing with Gladstones plans to grant Irish Home Rule, Chamberlain left the Liberal Party. He formed an alliance with the Conservatives, as an imperialist and protectionist, and was made Colonial Secretary in 1895. In 1903 he resigned from the cabinet to lead the campaign for protectionist tariff reforms known as Imperial Preference. In 1906 Chamberlain suffered a severe stroke, bringing an end to his active involvement in politics. He was the father of Austen Chamberlain and Neville Chamberlain, both of whom also became MPs and cabinet ministers. From Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits of men distinguished in the Senate, the Church, in science, literature and art, the army, navy, law, medicine, etc. Photographed from life by Lock and Whitfield, with brief biographical notices by Thompson Cooper. (Conducted by G. C. Whitfield.) (London, 1876-1883)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph Chamberlain, MP and President of the Board of Trade in 1881. Born in 1836, Chamberlain initially aligned himself with the Liberal Party and dedicated his efforts to advocating for educational reform. His political career reached new heights when he assumed the role of President of the Board of Trade under Gladstone's government in 1880. However, a disagreement over Irish Home Rule led Chamberlain to part ways with the Liberal Party. He subsequently forged an alliance with the Conservatives, embracing imperialist and protectionist ideologies. In recognition of his contributions, he was appointed as Colonial Secretary in 1895. Chamberlain's commitment to tariff reforms known as Imperial Preference prompted him to resign from cabinet duties in 1903. Despite facing adversity due to a severe stroke in 1906, which effectively curtailed his active involvement in politics, Chamberlain left an indelible mark on British history. Notably, this influential figure was not only a trailblazer but also passed down his passion for public service to future generations. Both Austen Chamberlain and Neville Chamberlain followed their father's footsteps by becoming MPs and cabinet ministers themselves. Preserved within "Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits" this photograph captures Joseph Chamberlain's commanding presence while offering viewers a glimpse into the life and achievements of one Britain's most prominent statesmen during the late nineteenth century.
