EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Alexander Baillie-Cochrane, 1st Baron Lamington (1816-1890), a prominent British Conservative politician of the Victorian era. Born into the Scottish aristocracy with the surnames Dundas, Ross, Wishart, Baillie, this nobleman rose to prominence in British politics. Baron Lamington's political career began in earnest when he was appointed as the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies in 1858, serving under the Conservative Prime Minister, Lord Derby. His tenure was marked by his commitment to "judicious amelioration," a policy aimed at improving the living conditions of colonized peoples while maintaining British control. This approach was reflected in his work in New South Wales, where he served as the Governor from 1872 to 1877. During his time in Australia, Baron Lamington oversaw significant infrastructure projects, including the construction of schools, hospitals, and roads. He also worked to promote agriculture and industry, leading to economic growth and improved living standards for the colony's residents. This Vanity Fair print, dated between 1816 and 1890, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his career to the service of his country and its colonies. With a stern yet thoughtful expression, Baron Lamington exudes the air of a seasoned statesman, a man who understood the complexities of governance and the importance of compassionate leadership. As a testament to his accomplishments, Baron Lamington was created a Baron in 1885, taking the title of Baron Lamington of Lamington in the County of Lanark. His legacy continues to be celebrated in both Britain and Australia, where his contributions to politics and society remain an inspiration to future generations.
