Sir Benjamin, a Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for East Birmingham from 1895 to 1909, was renowned for his deep-rooted passion for photography. He was not only an accomplished politician but also an esteemed photographer, with an impressive portfolio of over 30,000 photographic plates to his name. In 1911, Sir Benjamin was appointed as the official photographer in Westminster Abbey for King George V's coronation.
