EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Surprised and Thin Viscount: The Unforgettable Portrait of George Joachim Goschen, 1st Viscount Goschen (1831-1907) 2. Description: This portrait captures the enigmatic and unexpected side of George Joachim Goschen, 1st Viscount Goschen (1831-1907), a prominent British politician of the late 19th century. The photograph, published in Vanity Fair, presents a profile view of the viscount, who appears to be taken aback or even slightly amused, with a thin, expressive face and a top hat resting on his lap. 3. Background: George Joachim Goschen was born on February 23, 1831, in Hanover, Germany, and later became a naturalized British subject. He rose to prominence in British politics, serving as the Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1892 to 1895 and as the Colonial Secretary from 1895 to 1900. Goschen was also a member of Parliament for various constituencies between 1859 and 1906. 4. The Image: The photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, reveals a man who seems to defy the typical expectations of a Victorian politician. His surprised expression and thin visage create an intriguing contrast to the formal attire and top hat, which were standard elements of the time. The image, published in Vanity Fair, adds an element of playfulness and informality to the portrayal of Goschen. 5. Legacy: George Joachim Goschen's political career was marked by his financial acumen and his ability to navigate complex political situations. He was a key figure in the late 19th-century British political scene and left a lasting impact on the country's economy and colonial policies. This portrait, with its unexpected and engaging composition, serves as a testament to the viscount's unique character and the enduring allure of Vanity Fair's photographic archive.
