EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the distinguished figure of William Augustus Fraser of Morar, 4th Baronet, a prominent British politician, author, and collector. Born in 1826 and passing away in 1898, Fraser's legacy is marked by his significant contributions to both politics and literature. Serving as a Member of Parliament for various constituencies between 1857 and 1880 – including Barnstaple (1857-1859), Ludlow (1863-1865), and Kidderminster (1874-1880) – he left an indelible mark on the political landscape. Fraser was not only dedicated to public service but also deeply concerned about metropolitan sanitary reform. His tireless advocacy for health issues earned him recognition as a passionate campaigner in this field. The accompanying cartoon by Ape (Carlo Pellegrini) from Vanity Fair depicts his commitment to these reforms with wit and humor. Beyond his political pursuits, Fraser was an accomplished author who delved into various subjects throughout his career. As a collector with Scottish roots, he had an affinity for preserving cultural artifacts that showcased Scotland's rich heritage. This chromolithograph from January 9th, 1875 offers us a glimpse into the life of this remarkable individual whose influence extended far beyond his time. Preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), it serves as a testament to Fraser's multifaceted persona – one that encompassed politics, literature, social reform, and cultural preservation
