EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic Alfred Charles William Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe, in a side view portrait taken by Sir Leslie Matthew Ward in 1895. Known as a British newspaper and publishing magnate, Lord Northcliffe was the influential owner of renowned publications such as the Daily Mail and the Daily Mirror. Considered a pioneer of British tabloid journalism, he left an indelible mark on the media landscape. In this image, Lord Northcliffe exudes an air of authority and sophistication. With his piercing gaze and distinguished profile, he embodies the essence of a man deeply immersed in his profession. The cigarette held delicately between his fingers adds to his mysterious allure. The photograph transports us back to early 20th century England, offering glimpses into both social history and journalistic excellence. It serves as a testament to Lord Northcliffe's significant contributions to British press during that era. Preserved within Derek Hudson's book "British Journalists and Newspapers" published by Collins in 1945, this print is not merely an artistic representation but also a historical artifact that encapsulates an important chapter in Britain's media evolution. As we admire this remarkable portrait captured by Sir Leslie Ward—also known as Spy—we are reminded of Lord Northcliffe's enduring legacy as one of Britain's most influential publishers whose impact continues to resonate even today.
