1886 Birmingham Bordesley Broadhurst Department Pictured Secretary Stoke Trent
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Henry Broadhurst, Member of Parliament (MP) for Bordesley in Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent, during his tenure as Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department in 1886. Broadhurst's political career began in earnest in 1874 when he was elected as the Liberal MP for Bordesley. Over the next decade, he rose through the ranks of the party, becoming a prominent figure in the Liberal government. In 1886, Broadhurst was appointed as Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, a position that placed him at the heart of the British government's domestic policy-making. During his time in office, he played a key role in the implementation of several important pieces of legislation, including the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Public Health Act. Broadhurst's appointment to the Home Office marked a significant milestone in his political career, and this portrait captures him at the height of his power and influence. Dressed in the formal attire of a government minister, Broadhurst gazes confidently out at the viewer, his expression conveying a sense of determination and authority. The photograph, taken by the renowned London-based photographic studio ILN, provides a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of late-Victorian Britain and the men who shaped it. Broadhurst's legacy extends beyond his time in government, however. He was a champion of working-class rights and social reform, and his advocacy for improved working conditions and greater representation for the working class helped to shape the political landscape of the late 19th century. Today, he is remembered as a pioneering figure in British politics and a champion of social justice.
