EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished figure of Viscount Alverstone, Richard Everard Webster, in the prime of his legal career. Taken in 1915, Alverstone wears the traditional wig and robes of a British barrister, symbols of the prestige and tradition of the legal profession. Born in 1842, Alverstone had already spent 32 years at the bar by the time this image was taken, making him one of the most experienced and accomplished lawyers of his generation. His impressive work ethic and legal expertise had earned him a formidable reputation, and he was known to have an unparalleled workload. Alverstone's career began in 1873 when he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple. Over the next several decades, he built a practice that spanned a wide range of legal areas, from criminal law to constitutional law. He was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1893, and in 1907, he was elevated to the House of Lords as a viscount. Despite his lofty title and position, Alverstone remained dedicated to his work and continued to argue cases in court well into his later years. His tireless work ethic and commitment to the law earned him the admiration of his peers and the respect of the legal community. This photograph is a testament to Alverstone's enduring legacy as one of the most accomplished and hardworking lawyers in British legal history. With his stern expression and unwavering gaze, he seems to embody the integrity and dedication that defined his career. The wig and robes he wears serve as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of the legal profession, and the importance of upholding the highest standards of excellence and integrity in the practice of law.
