1830 Algernon Baron Borthwick Morning Newspaper Proprietor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon depicts Sir Algernon Borthwick, Baron Glenesk, a prominent figure in Scottish journalism during the late 19th century. Born in 1830, Borthwick made a significant impact on the newspaper industry as the proprietor of The Morning Post, a leading Scottish daily. The cartoon, created around the turn of the century, captures Borthwick's distinguished appearance with his bushy white beard, monocle, and formal attire. He is shown seated at a desk, engrossed in the latest newspaper, with a quill pen in hand and a pile of papers nearby. The caption above reads, "The Morning Post," emphasizing his dedication and commitment to the publication. Borthwick's influence extended beyond the pages of The Morning Post. He was a respected member of Scottish society, knighted in 1897 for his services to journalism and education. The title of Baron Glenesk, which he earned in 1902, further solidified his position as a Scottish aristocrat and a leading figure in the community. This cartoon offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the Scottish newspaper landscape during a time of significant change. The image not only captures Borthwick's professional accomplishments but also his passion for journalism and his enduring impact on Scottish history.
