EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts The Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers, a prominent figure in Victorian Britain. Born in 1802, Villiers was the third son of the late Hon. George Villiers and the only daughter of the first Lord Borrington. He obtained his degree from the University of Cambridge and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1827. In 1835, Villiers was elected as a Member of Parliament for the borough of Wolverhampton, in Staffordshire, alongside Thomas Thornley, Esquire. In this photograph, Villiers is depicted in his formal attire, wearing a barrister's wig and gown, reflecting his legal background. As the Mover of the Address to the Throne in the House of Commons in 1850, Villiers played a significant role in the political landscape of the time. His election to Parliament marked the beginning of a distinguished political career, which saw him rise through the ranks to become a prominent figure in Victorian politics. This photograph is an engraving from the Illustrated London News, published in 1850. The Illustrated London News was a popular Victorian newspaper, known for its high-quality illustrations and coverage of current events. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a prominent Victorian politician and lawyer, offering insights into the fashion, politics, and society of the time.
