EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures John Morley, Viscount Morley of Blackburn, in the year 1905, during a significant moment in his illustrious political career. Morley, an English politician and writer of great intellect, is best known for his role as Secretary of State for India, a position he held from 1905 to 1909. Morley's thin, distinguished face, with its expressive features and piercing gaze, conveys a sense of intensity and focus. The photograph, taken during his tenure as a Privy Counsellor (PC) and Viscount, highlights his elevated status within the British government. Born in 1838, Morley began his political career as a Liberal MP in 1883. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming President of the Board of Trade in 1892 and later serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1894 to 1895. Morley's literary prowess was also evident, as he was a prolific writer and editor, penning numerous articles and books on various topics, including politics, literature, and philosophy. The year 1905 marked a pivotal moment in Morley's career, as he was appointed as Secretary of State for India. During his time in this role, he worked to implement various reforms aimed at improving the lives of Indians under British rule. Morley's tenure was marked by his commitment to Indian self-governance and his belief in the potential for Indians to govern themselves. This photograph, taken in 1905, serves as a testament to Morley's remarkable political career and his enduring impact on British history. With his piercing gaze and air of authority, Morley's image continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to shaping the future of his country and its colonies.
