EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1909, captures Sir Thomas Lipton, the renowned Scottish-American businessman and yachtsman, in a relaxed and reflective moment. Dressed in the height of Edwardian fashion, Lipton dons a Homburg hat, a wing collar, a red tie, a black waistcoat, and a lounging jacket. His grey herringbone tweed trousers, with turn-ups and a front crease, add a touch of sophistication to his attire. Sir Thomas Lipton, born in 1850, made his fortune as a merchant, most notably in the tea industry. He founded the Lipton Tea Company in 1890, which would later become one of the largest tea companies in the world. However, this photograph was taken long before his commercial success. The image exudes an air of historical significance, as Lipton sits in a comfortable chair, with a cream backdrop and a window overlooking the sea. The yachting trophies and nautical decor in the room serve as a reminder of Lipton's passion for sailing. He was an avid yachtsman and famously raced in the America's Cup several times, hoping to bring the coveted trophy back to Britain. Despite his business accomplishments and sporting pursuits, this photograph offers a glimpse into the personal side of Sir Thomas Lipton. The relaxed expression on his face and the tranquil setting suggest a man at ease, enjoying a moment of respite from the demands of his busy life.
