EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Edgar Vincent, Viscount D'Abernon, in the year 1909, following his appointment as a trustee of the National Gallery. Born on March 2, 1857, D'Abernon was a prominent figure in British politics and diplomacy, serving as the British Ambassador to Berlin from 1911 to 1918. His distinguished career began when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Hackney South in 1885, representing the Liberal Party. In 1909, D'Abernon's expertise and passion for the arts were recognized when he was appointed as a trustee of the National Gallery. The National Gallery, located in Trafalgar Square in London, is home to an impressive collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to the 1900s. As a trustee, D'Abernon played a vital role in the acquisition and preservation of the gallery's collection, working alongside other esteemed individuals such as Sir Charles Holroyd and Sir Joseph Duveen. D'Abernon's appointment to the National Gallery marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, allowing him to combine his political and artistic interests. This photograph, taken in 1909, captures the moment of this significant milestone in his career. D'Abernon's dedication to the arts and his commitment to preserving cultural heritage continue to be celebrated today, making him an important figure in the history of the National Gallery and British cultural history as a whole.
