1823 1898 Baron Carlingford Chichester Fortescue Parkinson Privy Samuel Seal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the distinguished visage of Chichester Samuel Parkinson-Fortescue, 1st Baron Carlingford (1823-1898). Born into an aristocratic family, Fortescue embarked on a successful political career, serving as a statesman and holding the position of Privy Seal in the late 19th century. His noble lineage is evident in this image, with his formal attire, elegant posture, and piercing gaze. Fortescue's political prowess was evident from an early age. He was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge, before entering Parliament in 1852 as the Member of Parliament for Devonport. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a Privy Counsellor in 1866 and serving as Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1868 to 1873. In 1885, he was raised to the peerage as Baron Carlingford. As a Privy Seal, Fortescue played a crucial role in the administration of the British government. He was responsible for advising the monarch on matters of state and was a key figure in the Cabinet. His tenure as Privy Seal came during a period of significant political change, with the Irish Land War and the Second Boer War demanding the attention of the government. Fortescue's diplomatic skills and political acumen were essential in navigating these complex issues. This photograph, taken in 1898, captures Fortescue in the prime of his political career. His strong jawline, piercing eyes, and confident expression convey a sense of authority and intelligence. The intricately detailed background adds to the sense of grandeur and importance, reinforcing Fortescue's status as a statesman and baron. This portrait is a testament to Fortescue's remarkable political career and his enduring legacy as a figure of power and influence in British politics.
