The Right Hon. Benjamin Samuel Phillips, the new Lord Mayor of London, 1865. Creator: Unknown
The Right Hon. Benjamin Samuel Phillips, the new Lord Mayor of London, 1865. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Mayall. 'Mr. Phillips...has been a member of the Common Council nearly twenty years, his first appearance there dating as far back as the year 1847, when he was returned as representative of the ward of Farringdon Within. He was at that time thirty-six years of age, and one of the firm of Faudel, Phillips, and Sons, Newgate-street, importers and manufacturers of embroidery and fancy wools, of which firm he is now the head. In his commercial dealings Mr. Phillips had proved himself to be endowed with great common-sense, tact, and judgment, while his business habits and unblemished reputation for integrity, as well as the interest he took in public affairs, recommended him to the confidence of his neighbours as a candidate for their representation in the City councils...Being a member of the Jewish persuasion, and the first Jew admitted into the municipality of London, he will be the second Lord Mayor of that faith, the first being Alderman Salomons. He has more than once shown his practical sympathy with the wants of his brethren, as well as those of every other denomination. He is a member of the Spectacle Makers' Company'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
Honored Tradition: The Right Honorable Benjamin Samuel Phillips, Lord Mayor of London (1865)
In this striking photograph print, we are introduced to a man who has made history as the first Jew admitted into the municipality of London. Sir Benjamin Samuel Phillips, newly appointed Lord Mayor in 1865, stands tall with an air of dignity and authority. A respected member of the Common Council for nearly two decades prior to his appointment, he was known for his exceptional common sense, tact, and judgment.
As a prominent figure in the Jewish community, Phillips has consistently demonstrated practical sympathy towards the needs of all denominations. His dedication to public affairs earned him widespread respect from those who knew him. This engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Mayall captures not only Sir Benjamin's esteemed position but also his commitment to serving as an exemplary leader.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded that even in the midst of change and progress, tradition is honored through individuals like Phillips, whose integrity and character have earned them recognition within their community. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of public service and leadership.
