EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, showcases The Right Honourable John Campbell Hamilton, the seventh Earl of Aberdeen. The Earl moved the Address in the House of Lords to Her Majesty's Speech from the Throne. The Scotch earldom was created in 1682, and the Earl holds various titles, including Viscount Formartine, Baron Haddo, Methlic, Tarvis, and Kellie in Scotland, and the viscountcy of Gordon in the United Kingdom, which allows him to sit as a peer of Parliament. The Earl is known to be a scholar of socio-political economy. At the time of this photograph, he was unmarried, and his heir presumptive was his uncle, the Hon. Sir Alexander Gordon. The Earl's title has passed rapidly from the fourth to the present Earl. His facial hair, consisting of sideburns and a mustache, is a characteristic feature of the era. The Earl's noble lineage, political status, and scholarly pursuits are all reflected in this striking portrait. The photograph, an engraving from the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent aristocrat of the nineteenth century.
