EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are presented with Evelyn Ashley, a prominent figure in English literature and politics during the 19th century. The artist, Edward Linley Sambourne, skillfully captures Ashley's essence as he sits comfortably in an elegant chair surrounded by books and furniture that exude sophistication. Ashley, born into nobility as the son of the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, embraced his literary talents alongside his political career within the Liberal Party. This caricature from Punch magazine was published in April 1881 when Ashley held the position of under-secretary at the Board of Trade. It showcases him engrossed in reading, symbolizing his dedication to knowledge and intellectual pursuits. The monochrome engraving highlights both Ashley's statesman-like demeanor and Sambourne's artistic prowess. The attention to detail is evident not only in capturing Ashley's likeness but also in portraying him as a man deeply immersed in his occupation as an author and politician. This print serves as a testament to Evelyn Ashley's significant contributions to British society during a time of great change. His role within the Liberal Party allowed him to influence policy-making while simultaneously leaving behind a legacy through his written works. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the life of an accomplished individual who left an indelible mark on both literature and politics alike.
