EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the distinguished visage of Freeman Thomas, 1st Marquess of Willingdon, who served as the Crown Governor of Bombay, now Mumbai, India, from 1914 to 1919. Lord Willingdon, born in 1866, was a major figure in British colonial administration and a decorated military officer. He had previously served as the Governor of New South Wales in Australia and was later appointed as the Viceroy of India from 1921 to 1926. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd, captures Lord Willingdon in formal attire, complete with the insignia of his various titles and orders. The background is simple, allowing the subject's regal presence to take center stage. A well-groomed dog sits at his feet, adding a touch of warmth and companionship to the image. Lord Willingdon's tenure in Bombay was marked by significant developments in infrastructure and public works, including the construction of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station and the expansion of the Port of Mumbai. His governorship was also notable for his efforts to improve the living conditions of the city's population, particularly in the areas of sanitation and education. Despite the challenges of colonial rule and the complex political landscape of the time, Lord Willingdon's leadership and dedication to the welfare of the people of Bombay left a lasting impact on the city and its history. This portrait serves as a testament to his legacy and the important role he played in shaping the future of Mumbai during a pivotal period in its development.
