Edward Law, also known as Lord Ellenborough, was a prominent figure in the 19th century. Born in 1790, he held various positions of power and influence throughout his life. One notable event that showcased his political career was "The Modern Job. Or John Bull and his Comforts. " This satirical cartoon from 1816 depicted Law's role as Governor-General of India. Law's strong presence is further captured in the oil painting "Edward Law, c. 1845. " The artist skillfully portrayed him with an air of authority and intelligence. Another portrait titled "Portrait of Lord Ellenborough, c1891" by James Grant showcases his dignified demeanor. His accomplishments were not limited to politics; Law also left a mark on Calcutta's social scene. "The Banquet in the Hall, 1844" depicts a lavish dinner held in honor of Lord Ellenborough at the Town Hall. The grand staircase featured in another artwork from the same year highlights the opulence associated with his time. However, not all depictions were positive; some saw him as foolish or corrupt. In "Lord Ellenboroughs Folly on the Calcutta Course, " an unknown creator mocks one of Law's decisions during his tenure as Governor-General. Despite criticism, Edward Law remained resilient and continued to serve his country faithfully. His contributions are remembered through engravings like "Portrait of Edward Law" and "The late Earl of Ellenborough. " These images capture both his physical appearance and legacy for future generations to admire. In addition to visual representations, caricaturists like John Doyle used their artistry to comment on political events involving Lord Ellenborough. A prime example is seen in Doyle's work titled "A Clear Case of Political Petty Larceny, " which humorously criticizes one aspect of Law's career.
