The Right Hon. W. A. Rose, the new Lord Mayor, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Right Hon. W. A. Rose, the new Lord Mayor, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company. Mr. Alderman Rose...is probably the youngest man who has reached the civic chair. Born in 1820, he is only forty- two. He is of Scotch descent...[and is] a self- made man, having attained his present position by his own unaided exertions - by industry, perseverance, and energy. Very early in life he commenced business on his own account in the ward where he is now Alderman, and on a portion of the site of his present warehouses, of which he is now the freeholder...The Lord Mayor has been mainly instrumental in establishing the London Rifle Brigade, of which he is the senior Major. The preliminary meeting of the supporters of the volunteer movement in the City was held in his ward, and he has ever been unremitting in his attention to his military duties'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases The Right Hon. W. A. Rose, the newly elected Lord Mayor of London in 1862. The engraving is based on a photograph taken by the renowned London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company. Mr. Alderman Rose, born in 1820, is depicted as a young and accomplished figure, having reached the civic chair at the age of forty-two. His Scottish heritage is evident in this striking portrait. A self-made man, Alderman Rose rose to prominence through his own industrious efforts. He began his business ventures early in life, establishing himself in the ward where he would later become an Alderman. The site of his current warehouses bears witness to his early entrepreneurial spirit, as he is now the freeholder of that land. The Lord Mayor's influence extended beyond the realm of commerce. He played a pivotal role in the formation of the London Rifle Brigade, serving as its senior Major. The preliminary meeting of the supporters of the volunteer movement in the City took place in his ward, and he remained steadfast in his commitment to his military duties. This image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1862, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who, through hard work and determination, reached the pinnacle of civic leadership in London. Alderman Rose's story serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and the potential for personal growth and achievement, regardless of one's humble beginnings.
