EDITORS COMMENTS
Diplomacy personified: Viscount Richard Bickerton Pemell Lyons (1817-1887) This striking portrait captures the distinguished visage of Viscount Richard Bickerton Pemell Lyons, an eminent British diplomat who graced the international stage during the late 19th century. Born in 1817, Lyons rose through the ranks of the diplomatic corps, serving in various capacities across Europe and the Middle East. In this image, taken in 1878, Lyons exudes an air of authority and sophistication. His piercing gaze and well-groomed appearance reflect the meticulousness and poise required of a diplomat in an era when negotiations were conducted face-to-face and every gesture carried significant weight. Lyons' diplomatic career began in earnest in 1848 when he was appointed as the British Vice-Consul in Marseille, France. Over the next several decades, he would go on to serve in Constantinople, Vienna, Madrid, and St. Petersburg. His most notable achievement came in 1874 when he was appointed as the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, a position he held until his retirement in 1885. During his tenure as Ambassador, Lyons played a pivotal role in securing British interests in the region, navigating the complex web of alliances and tensions that marked the late 19th century. His diplomatic skills were instrumental in averting a potential war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, earning him the moniker "The Peacemaker of the East." This photograph, taken in 1878, stands as a testament to Lyons' remarkable diplomatic career and his enduring impact on British foreign policy. With his keen intellect, unwavering resolve, and impeccable manners, Viscount Lyons embodied the essence of diplomacy in an age when it truly mattered.
