EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio portrait captures Douglas Straight, an accomplished lawyer, journalist, and Member of Parliament, in the prime of his career during the 1890s. Born in London and educated at the prestigious Harrow School, Straight's intellectual prowess and ambition were evident from an early age. The photograph, taken in 1895, reveals Straight's sharp features, piercing gaze, and impeccably tailored attire, all hallmarks of a successful Victorian gentleman. The presence of his signature below the image attests to its authenticity and adds an intriguing personal touch. As a lawyer, Straight made a name for himself in the legal community, handling high-profile cases with skill and determination. His journalistic pursuits began in earnest when he joined the staff of a major London newspaper, where he honed his writing and reporting skills. In 1892, Straight entered Parliament as the representative for a constituency in the north of England. His political career was marked by his commitment to social reform and his unwavering dedication to the needs of his constituents. This striking portrait of Douglas Straight offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable Victorian figure, whose accomplishments in law, journalism, and politics continue to inspire and intrigue us today. The image, taken from the archives of the Illustrated London News, serves as a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of this extraordinary man.
