1. Title: "The 15th Duke of Norfolk, Henry Fitzalan-Howard (1847-1917): A Prominent Statesman of the Late Victorian Era" This evocative photograph captures the visage of the 15th Duke of Norfolk, Henry Fitzalan-Howard, a renowned statesman of the late Victorian era in British history. Born on March 17, 1847, the Duke was the eldest son of the 14th Duke of Norfolk and Lady Elizabeth Sackville-West. He assumed the title and duties of the dukedom in 1860 following his father's passing. The Duke of Norfolk was not only a distinguished member of the British nobility but also a prominent figure in the political landscape of the late 19th century. He served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Arundel from 1868 to 1885 and later represented Southwark from 1886 to 1892. In 1895, he was appointed as a Privy Counsellor, a position that granted him access to the inner circle of the monarchy and the government. The Duke's political career was marked by his strong commitment to the Conservative Party and his dedication to upholding the traditional values and privileges of the British aristocracy. He was a vocal advocate for the preservation of the landed gentry and the maintenance of the social order. Despite his conservative political stance, the Duke was also known for his progressive views on certain social issues. He was a patron of the arts and supported various charitable causes, including the establishment of the National Hospital for Paralysed Veterans in 1911. This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures the Duke in the prime of his life and career. His stern yet thoughtful expression conveys the gravity and responsibility that came with his title and position. The Duke of Norfolk's legacy as a statesman and nobleman continues to be an intriguing chapter in the rich history of the British monarchy and political system.
