EDITORS COMMENTS
"This portrait captures Edmond George Petty-FitzMaurice, 1st Baron FitzMaurice (1846-1935), a prominent British Liberal politician and Member of Parliament for Calne from 1868 to 1885. Born into the ancient Anglo-Irish FitzMaurice family, Petty-FitzMaurice's aristocratic lineage and political acumen were evident from an early age. The enigmatic expression on his face in this photograph, taken during his prime, speaks volumes about his self-assuredness and confidence. The caption "He does not under-estimate his own ability" encapsulates the conviction and determination that characterized his political career. Petty-FitzMaurice's tenure in Parliament was marked by his strong advocacy for liberal causes, including education, social reform, and the extension of the franchise. Despite his aristocratic background, Petty-FitzMaurice was known for his progressive views and his ability to connect with the working class. He was a regular contributor to Vanity Fair, the influential satirical magazine, and was even depicted in one of its famous cartoons as a "young country gentleman, with a strong sense of duty and a keen intellect." This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable political figure, whose legacy continues to inspire and intrigue. Petty-FitzMaurice's story is a testament to the power of intelligence, determination, and a strong sense of purpose, qualities that remain relevant in today's political landscape."
