EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures George Grenfell Glyn, 2nd Baron Wolverton (1824-1887), a prominent British Liberal politician of the Victorian era. Born into nobility, Glyn began his political career as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Shaftesbury in 1857. He continued to represent the constituency until 1873, when he succeeded his father and entered the House of Lords. Glyn's political prowess led to his appointment as Paymaster-General under the esteemed William Ewart Gladstone administration from 1880 to 1885. His tenure as Paymaster-General marked a significant period in British political history, as Gladstone's Liberal government implemented various reforms and navigated international tensions. This striking image of Glyn, taken by the renowned photography studio Cecioni for Vanity Fair, showcases the politician's refined elegance and serious demeanor. The black-and-white photograph, with its crisp contrast and intricate detailing, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the late 19th century and the world of British politics during a time of change and progress. As a testament to Glyn's political influence and the historical significance of his career, this portrait serves as an essential addition to any collection focusing on British political history or the lives of influential Liberal politicians of the Victorian era.
