EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print features Sir Matthew White Ridley, a prominent British politician and Member of Parliament (MP) for North Northumberland, during the late 19th century. The image was published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, following his delivery of the address in response to the Speech in the House of Commons. Born in 1842, Ridley was educated at Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford, where he excelled academically, becoming a scholar in 1855 and a Fellow of All Souls in 1867. He was a Conservative politician who succeeded his father, who had represented North Northumberland since 1868. Ridley is depicted here with a distinguished moustache and sideburns, typical of the fashionable facial hair styles of the era. Ridley's political career began after his education, and he quickly rose through the ranks to become a respected statesman. In this photograph, he is shown in formal attire, wearing a sideboard and waistcoat, reflecting the dress code of the time for parliamentary proceedings. The image captures a moment in history, showcasing Ridley's important role in British politics during the late 19th century.
