EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Edward John Stanley, the 18th Earl of Derby, in the prime of his life during the 1950s. Born in 1918, Stanley succeeded to the earldom in 1951, and from 1951 to 1968, he served as Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire. The Lord Lieutenant is the monarch's personal representative in the county, and Stanley played a significant role in the civic and ceremonial life of Lancashire during his tenure. The Earl of Derby is best known for establishing Knowsley Safari Park at his Knowsley Hall estate in Merseyside, England, in 1971. The park, which is still in operation today, is home to over 800 animals and attracts visitors from around the world. Visitors can observe the animals in their natural habitats as they drive through the park in their vehicles. Stanley's vision for Knowsley Safari Park was inspired by his love for wildlife and conservation. He worked closely with conservationists and animal experts to create a unique and educational experience for visitors. The park has since become a popular tourist attraction and a significant contributor to the local economy. This photograph captures the Earl of Derby in a thoughtful and contemplative moment, perhaps reflecting on the success of his latest project or considering the challenges that lay ahead. Dressed in a formal suit and tie, he exudes an air of authority and confidence. The backdrop of the lush green landscape and the open sky add to the sense of tranquility and serenity. The Earl of Derby's legacy extends beyond Knowsley Safari Park. He was a dedicated public servant, a passionate conservationist, and a respected member of the community. His contributions to Lancashire and the conservation of wildlife continue to be celebrated and remembered to this day.
