EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Ewart Gladstone, a prominent British Liberal politician of the 19th century. Taken in 1859 by renowned photographer John Jabez Edwin Mayall, this side view portrait captures the essence of Gladstone's distinguished career and statesmanship. Serving as Prime Minister four times, he held office during significant periods in British history (1868-74,1880-85, February-July 1886, and 1892-94). Notably, Gladstone was Britain's oldest Prime Minister and resigned at the remarkable age of 84. The artist Edward William Stodart skillfully engraved this image from Mayall's photograph for inclusion in "The History of England Div XV" by David Hume and Tobias Smollett. The oval-shaped monochrome portrait exudes an air of authority with its direct gaze and elegant profile. It is a testament to Gladstone's influence on English politics that his likeness found its place among literary works. Gladstone's political career spanned decades within the Liberal Party, where he also served as Chancellor of the Exchequer. His dedication to public service made him a revered figure in Britain during his time. This print serves as a reminder not only of Gladstone's immense contributions but also highlights the artistry involved in preserving historical figures through engravings like this one.
