EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Edward Gibson Ashbourne, 1st Baron Ashbourne, in the prime of his political career in 1895. Born on March 2, 1837, in County Meath, Ireland, Ashbourne rose to prominence as a Conservative Party politician, serving as Member of Parliament for several constituencies throughout his long and distinguished career. Ashbourne's political journey began in earnest in 1865 when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for County Meath. He held this seat until 1880, when he was appointed as a Privy Counsellor and sworn into the House of Lords as a peer. Ashbourne's political beliefs were firmly rooted in traditional Tory values, and he was a strong advocate for imperial expansion and the maintenance of the British Empire. During his time in the House of Lords, Ashbourne held several important positions, including Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies and Postmaster General. He was also a member of several royal commissions and committees, demonstrating his commitment to public service. This photograph, taken in 1895, captures Ashbourne in the midst of his political career, with a stern yet thoughtful expression on his face. He is dressed in the formal attire of the time, including a frock coat and top hat, reflecting the formalities of the political world in which he operated. Ashbourne's political legacy is significant, and he is remembered as a dedicated and effective statesman who served his country with distinction. He passed away on February 11, 1913, leaving behind a rich political legacy that continues to be studied and celebrated by historians and political enthusiasts alike.
