Bishop England 1860s Wilberforce Mowbray
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Bishop Oxford Samuel Wilberforce, a prominent figure in the religious landscape of 19th-century England. The image was captured around 1865 by A. R. Mowbray, a British photographer known for his work in Oxford. Bishop Wilberforce's commanding presence is beautifully portrayed through this albumen silver print. His dignified posture and serene expression reflect the wisdom and authority he possessed as the Bishop of Oxford during this era. The photograph exudes an air of historical significance, transporting us back to a time when religion played a central role in society. It serves as a visual testament to the power and influence that figures like Bishop Wilberforce held over their congregations. The use of albumen silver printing techniques adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing its timeless quality. This method was popular during the mid-19th century and involved coating photographic paper with egg white (albumen) mixed with salt before exposing it to light. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded not only of Bishop Wilberforce's impact but also of photography's ability to preserve moments from our past. This print offers us a glimpse into history, allowing us to connect with an influential individual who shaped religious discourse in England during his time.
