EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Edmond George Petty-FitzMaurice, 1st Baron FitzMaurice (1846-1935), showcases the confidence and charisma of the British Liberal politician and Member of Parliament for Calne. Born in 1846, FitzMaurice's political career began in 1868 when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Calne, a position he held until 1885. FitzMaurice's political acumen and self-assuredness are evident in this striking image, taken during the height of his career. The caption "He does not under-estimate his own ability" encapsulates the bold and assertive nature of the man depicted. With piercing eyes and a strong jawline, FitzMaurice exudes an air of authority and determination. As a Liberal politician, FitzMaurice was known for his progressive views and commitment to social reform. He was a vocal advocate for the extension of the franchise and the abolition of the Corn Laws. However, his political career was not without controversy. In 1885, he was forced to resign from the Liberal Party after being implicated in a scandal involving the sale of peerages. Despite this setback, FitzMaurice continued to make his mark on British politics. He was created a Baron in 1906, and remained an influential figure until his death in 1935. This portrait, taken during his prime, serves as a testament to his political prowess and unwavering belief in his own abilities.
