EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the distinguished presence of Sir Robert Porrett Collier, a prominent figure in 19th-century British politics and law. Taken by renowned photographers Lock & Whitfield, this image showcases Collier's commanding personality and his significant contributions to society. Collier's impressive career spanned various fields, from being an active member of the Anti-Cornlaw League to serving as a judge on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. His commitment to justice is evident in his stern yet thoughtful expression. Born with an illustrious legal mind, Collier began his political journey as a Member of Parliament for Plymouth in 1852. He later transitioned into becoming a respected member of the judicial committee while also attaining the prestigious title of Queen's Counsel in 1854. In recognition of his accomplishments, he was appointed Attorney-General in 1868 and eventually elevated to peerage as Lord Monkswell in 1885. The photograph beautifully captures Collier's Victorian-era style with his well-groomed beard and sideburns complementing his dignified appearance. Dressed impeccably in tweed textiles, he exudes authority befitting a statesman. Lock & Whitfield have masterfully preserved this momentous snapshot that not only highlights Sir Robert Porrett Collier but also serves as an invaluable historical artifact. This portrait print stands testament to one man's remarkable journey through politics and law during an era defined by change and progress.
