EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the distinguished visage of Ernest Pollock, 1st Viscount Hanworth, a prominent figure in British politics, law, and the judiciary during the early 20th century. Born in 1861, Pollock rose to prominence as a Conservative politician, lawyer, and judge, serving the United Kingdom with great distinction. The image portrays Pollock in the full regalia of his judicial office as Master of the Rolls, the second highest judicial office in England and Wales. The Master of the Rolls is responsible for the administration of civil justice, and Pollock held this esteemed position from 1923 until his retirement in 1935. Pollock's impressive legal career began in 1885 when he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple. He quickly gained a reputation as a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer, specializing in equity and commercial law. In 1905, he was appointed a Queen's Counsel, and in 1913, he was elevated to the bench as a High Court Judge. In addition to his legal accomplishments, Pollock also made significant contributions to British politics as a Conservative Member of Parliament for the constituency of Westminster St. George's from 1910 to 1923. His dedication to public service and commitment to upholding the law earned him the title of Viscount Hanworth in 1922. This photograph serves as a testament to Pollock's remarkable career and enduring legacy as a British statesman, lawyer, and judge. His wig and robes, symbols of his judicial office, add an air of authority and solemnity to the image, further emphasizing the importance of the role he played in the administration of justice during a pivotal period in British history.
