EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir George Jessel, the esteemed Master of the Rolls in 1881. Born in 1824, Jessel's legal career began when he was called to the bar at Lincolns Inn in 1847. His talent and dedication led him to enter Parliament as a Liberal MP for Dover in 1868. Jessel's exceptional skills as an orator caught the attention of Prime Minister Gladstone, who appointed him Solicitor-General in 1871. This prestigious position was earned after delivering two remarkable speeches on the Bankruptcy Bill. In 1873, Jessel succeeded Lord Romilly as Master of the Rolls, a role he held until his untimely death in 1883. Throughout his tenure, he demonstrated unwavering commitment to justice and fairness within British law. The photograph itself is part of "Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits" captured by renowned photographers Lock and Whitfield. This collection features distinguished individuals from various fields such as politics, science, literature, art, medicine, and more. Sir George Jessel's portrait exudes confidence and authority befitting his influential position within Victorian society. It serves as a testament to his significant contributions both as a lawyer and politician during this transformative era. As we admire this striking image today through Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we are reminded of Sir George Jessel's lasting impact on British law and politics—a true statesman whose legacy continues to inspire generations.
