"Lord Thurlow: A Powerful Figure in 18th Century Politics" Lord Thurlow, also known as Edward Thurlow, was a prominent figure in British politics during the late 18th century. Born in 1731, he rose to become Lord High Chancellor and played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of his time. One notable event that marked Lord Thurlow's career was "The Pitt Fall" in January 1789. This political cartoon by Frederick George Byron depicted the downfall of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger and highlighted Thurlow's involvement in this power shift. Thurlow's influence extended beyond domestic affairs; he was also involved on an international level. The Royal Commission for the Chicago Exhibition in 1893 recognized his contributions through an engraving that showcased his participation and support for this global event. His tenure as Lord High Chancellor is captured beautifully in engravings such as "Edward, Lord Thurlow, 1782" by Francesco Bartolozzi. This portrait immortalizes his authoritative presence and legal expertise. Political satirist Thomas Rowlandson portrayed Lord Thurlow's involvement with Parliament through various caricatures. In "The State Auction, " created on March 26, 1784, Rowlandson humorously depicts politicians bidding for power under Thurlow's watchful eye. Similarly, "The Drum Major of Sedition, " dated March 29, highlights how influential figures like him were accused of inciting unrest within society. Despite being a powerful figure himself, there were insinuations about secret influences directing Parliament during those times. An engraving titled "Secret Influence Directing The New P-l-t [Parliament], " from May 18, 1784 hints at these suspicions surrounding Lord Thurlow and others who held positions of authority. Rowlandson continued to depict political scenes involving Lord Thurlow with works like "State Butchers" on January 28, 1789.
