EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Edward G. E. L. Bulwer-Lytton, Lord Lytton, in 1850, as depicted by an unknown creator around 1884. A prominent English writer and politician, Bulwer-Lytton was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge before embarking on a successful career in politics. He served as a Member of Parliament for both the Whig and Conservative parties during different periods of his life, even holding the esteemed position of Secretary of State for the Colonies. However, this distinguished statesman's personal life was marred by controversy when he faced public denouncement for infidelity from his wife Rosina Bulwer Lytton. Despite these challenges, Bulwer-Lytton left an indelible mark on British literature with his notable works. The photo is sourced from "Leaders of the Senate: A Biographical History of the Rise and Development of the British Constitution". Volume II by Alexander Charles Ewald. Published by William Mackenzie in London, Edinburgh & Berlin during the late 19th century. In this image, Lord Lytton gazes away thoughtfully while dressed in formal attire befitting his status as a leader and intellectual figurehead. The photograph offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not only an influential man but also reflecting upon themes such as colonialism, government structures, and social norms prevalent during that era. Overall, this intriguing portrait serves as a window to explore both Edward G. E. L Bulwer-Lytton's complex character and significant contributions to British society during one of its most transformative periods.
