1. Title: "The Third Earl of Harrowby: Dudley Francis Stuart Ryder (1831-1900), Statesman" This photograph print showcases Dudley Francis Stuart Ryder, the third earl of Harrowby, an influential British statesman of the late 19th century. Born on March 28, 1831, in London, Ryder was the eldest son of the second earl of Harrowby and Lady Elizabeth Sackville-West. He succeeded to the earldom in 1861 following his father's death. Ryder's political career began in 1857 when he was elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Grimsby. He held various positions in the Liberal government, including Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department and Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Ryder's tenure in the Foreign Office was marked by his involvement in the Eastern Question, a complex issue concerning the Ottoman Empire and its European neighbors. In 1874, Ryder was appointed as the Colonial Secretary, a position he held until 1880. During his tenure, he oversaw the expansion of the British Empire, particularly in Africa, through the acquisition of territories such as the Gold Coast, Lagos, and Zululand. He also played a crucial role in the resolution of the Zulu War in 1879. Ryder's political career came to an end in 1885 when he resigned from the Liberal Party over the issue of Irish Home Rule. He spent the remaining years of his life in retirement at his estate in Rutland, England. Dudley Francis Stuart Ryder passed away on February 12, 1900. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable statesman who played a significant role in shaping British foreign and colonial policy during the late Victorian era. The image captures the wisdom and gravitas of a man who dedicated his life to public service and left an indelible mark on British history.
