EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Sir Edward Clarke, Q. C. , dating back to approximately 1899. The portrait showcases the distinguished British barrister and politician in a side view profile, exuding an air of confidence and authority. Sir Edward George Clarke, known for his role as Solicitor-General in the Conservative government from 1886 to 1892, left an indelible mark on legal history. Notably, he represented Oscar Wilde during the infamous prosecution of the Marquess of Queensberry for libel – a case that would ultimately lead to Wilde's downfall. Renowned for his prowess in cross-examination, Sir Edward also played a pivotal role in the baccarat case where he skillfully interrogated none other than the Prince of Wales himself (later King Edward VII). His unwavering dedication to justice and his profession solidified him as one of Britain's most prominent statesmen. The print is sourced from "Our Conservative and Unionist Statesmen". Volume II by Newman Graham & Co. , London circa 1899. Bassano Ltd is credited with its creation. As we gaze upon this remarkable image frozen in time, we are reminded of Sir Edward Clarke's significant contributions to British politics and law.
