EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the lives of Lord and Lady Wolseley and their daughter, during the late 19th century. The image is an episode from the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882, depicting a scene of domesticity amidst a tumultuous period in British history. In this intimate portrayal, Lady Wolseley sits by the fireplace engrossed in literature while her husband stands nearby reading a newspaper. Their daughter, positioned between them, gazes curiously at her father's book. The composition exudes warmth and tranquility despite the backdrop of war. Lord Wolseley was none other than Garnet Joseph Wolseley himself - Lieutenant General and later First Viscount Wolseley - who played a significant role in military campaigns during his time. This photograph humanizes him as he embraces his role as both soldier and family man. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical snapshot, emphasizing its timeless quality. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict, life continues with ordinary moments shared by families across generations. Preserved through an engraving by James Grant for "British Battles on Land and Sea" this print offers us insight into the private lives of notable figures from Britain's past. It provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect on themes such as motherhood, parenting, and the enduring power of literature within society.
