Born in 1815, Forster's political career began in 1852 and continued until his death in 1891. He is seen here in his element, sitting in the House of Commons, the heart of British political power. Forster's political journey was marked by significant milestones. He was appointed as an Assistant Whip in 1843, a position that required him to maintain discipline within his party. Later in his career, he became the Second Baronet in 1868 and served as the Postmaster General in the Liberal government from 1886 until 1891.

Forster's political legacy is an important chapter in the history of English Liberalism. His dedication to the party and his role as an Assistant Whip played a crucial role in maintaining party discipline and ensuring the success of Liberal policies. This photograph serves as a reminder of the significant contributions made by individuals like Forster to the political landscape of England during the 19th century.
