EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward White Benson, a prominent figure in the 19th century. The portrait captures his dignified presence as Lord Bishop of Truro in 1880. Created by Lock & Whitfield, renowned photographers of their time, this image is part of the esteemed collection "Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits". Edward White Benson's remarkable journey began as headmaster of Wellington School before he was appointed Canon Residentiary and Chancellor of Lincoln Cathedral in 1872. Four years later, he assumed the prestigious position as Bishopric of Truro, which ultimately led to his appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1883. Dressed impeccably in clerical attire with a distinctive dog collar around his neck, Benson exudes an air of authority and wisdom that befits his religious vocation. His piercing gaze suggests both introspection and determination. As a man deeply rooted in Christianity and dedicated to serving God, Edward White Benson played an instrumental role within the clergy during this era. This monochrome portrait not only immortalizes him but also symbolizes the influence and power held by religious leaders at that time. Lock & Whitfield's masterful photography skillfully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate the intricate folds on Benson's robe and discerning facial features.
