EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Samuel Thomas Evans (1859-1918): A Prominent Welsh Barrister, Judge, and Liberal Politician This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Sir Samuel Thomas Evans, a Welsh legal and political luminary of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. Born in 1859, Evans rose to prominence as a barrister and judge, before embarking on a successful political career as a Liberal. Evans' legal career began in earnest, and he quickly established himself as a formidable advocate in the courts of Wales. His expertise in the law led to his appointment as a Queen's Counsel in 1899, a prestigious title signifying his exceptional skill and experience. In 1900, Evans made the transition to the bench, becoming a Judge of the High Court of Justice in Wales and Monmouthshire. His tenure as a judge was marked by his fairness, impartiality, and dedication to upholding the rule of law. However, Evans' talents extended beyond the courtroom. In 1906, he was elected as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Merthyr Tydfil, a position he held until his retirement in 1910. During his time in Parliament, he advocated for social reforms and worked to improve the lives of the working class in his constituency. Despite his many accomplishments, Evans remains an intriguing and somewhat enigmatic figure in Welsh history. This portrait, taken by the renowned photographic publication Vanity Fair, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on the legal and political landscape of Wales in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sir Samuel Thomas Evans: A Welsh barrister, judge, and Liberal politician whose legacy continues to inspire and intrigue.
