EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white engraving depicts Sir Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey of Fallodon, a prominent British politician who served as Foreign Secretary from 1905 to 1916. The image, created as an engraving after a photograph, is taken from Cassell's History of England, Volume IX, published by Cassell and Company, Limited in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne around the turn of the 20th century. Sir Edward Grey (1862-1933) is depicted in formal attire, wearing a suit and tie, with a stern yet thoughtful expression on his face. His piercing eyes seem to gaze intently into the distance, reflecting the gravity of the political landscape during his tenure as Foreign Secretary. Grey's political career began in earnest in 1885 when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Northampton. He rose through the ranks of the Liberal Party and was appointed as Foreign Secretary in 1905 by Prime Minister Henry Campbell-Bannerman. Grey is best known for his role in the lead-up to World War I, famously stating, "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our time." The engraving, created by an unknown artist, captures the essence of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping British foreign policy during a tumultuous period in European history. The image is a testament to the enduring power of historical records and the importance of preserving the legacies of those who have shaped the course of nations.
