EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Samuel Morley, a prominent figure in 19th-century Britain. Known for his abolitionist beliefs, political radicalism, and statesmanship, Morley was an influential force in shaping the social and political landscape of his time. The image depicts Morley as a distinguished gentleman with a resolute expression on his face. The artist has skillfully captured the essence of this remarkable man who dedicated himself to various causes throughout his life. Morley's success as an industrialist is evident from the mention of his large woollen manufacturing business that employed thousands of workers in the East Midlands. Renowned for being a model employer, he not only prioritized profit but also cared deeply about the well-being and welfare of those under his employ. Beyond business endeavors, Morley was an active philanthropist who generously contributed to charitable causes. His commitment to social justice extended into politics where he aligned himself with the Liberal Party and ardently supported William Gladstone. Having served as a Member of Parliament for both Nottingham and Bristol constituencies during different periods, Morley played a crucial role in advocating liberal principles and championing progressive policies within British society. This lithograph from The Modern Portrait Gallery provides us with valuable insight into one of Victorian England's most notable figures – Samuel Morley – whose legacy continues to inspire generations even today.
