EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of George Armitstead, a prominent figure in British history. Painted by Henry Wyndham Phillips in 1858, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 240x128.3 cm and is currently housed at The McManus in Dundee, UK. George Armitstead was not only a successful businessman but also a philanthropist and Liberal politician. As the founder of George Armitstead & Co shipping line and jute business in Dundee back in 1843, he played a significant role in shaping the city's economic landscape during that era. In this striking portrait, we see Armitstead depicted as a distinguished gentleman standing confidently with his full-length figure captured against an elegant interior backdrop. Seated behind his desk with an air of authority, he exudes professionalism and sophistication befitting of a Victorian-era businessman. Armitstead's sideburns and mutton chops add to his distinctive appearance while dressed impeccably in a suit and waistcoat typical of the nineteenth century fashion trends. This painting truly encapsulates both the essence of its time period and the personality of its subject. As you admire this artwork, take note not just of its aesthetic beauty but also appreciate the historical significance it holds within British society. It serves as a testament to George Armitstead's contributions to industry, politics, and philanthropy – forever immortalized through art for generations to come.
