Astride Across Lancashire - The New Master of The Constitutional Harriers of Northern Radicalism
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Frederick Edwin Smith, 1st Earl of Birkenhead, KC, MP, in the prime of his political career, as he confidently rides across the rugged terrain of Lancashire. Dressed in the traditional attire of tweeds, a bowler hat, and sturdy boots, Smith exudes the air of a seasoned outdoorsman and accomplished rider. Born in 1872, Smith rose to prominence as a Conservative politician, earning a knighthood for his services to the law as a King's Counsel (KC) and later becoming a Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency of West Derby. His political prowess extended beyond the confines of the House of Commons, as he was also appointed as the Master of the Constitutional Harriers of Northern Radicalism. The Constitutional Harriers were a prominent hunting organization in the northern English counties, known for their association with the radical political movement that emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Smith's involvement with the Harriers underscored his commitment to the region and his ability to bridge the divide between the political establishment and the working-class electorate. The photograph, taken in 1910, encapsulates the spirit of the era, as the 1910s brought significant political change, including the passage of the People's Budget and the subsequent constitutional crisis. Smith's equestrian pose, set against the backdrop of the Lancashire countryside, symbolizes his determination to navigate the complexities of politics and maintain the balance of power in the face of shifting political tides. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure in British political history, as Frederick Edwin Smith, 1st Earl of Birkenhead, solidified his reputation as a skilled politician and a dedicated servant of the people.
