EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the distinguished visage of Lord Odo William Leopold Russell, 1st Lord Ampthill (1829-1884), a prominent British diplomat who served as the British Ambassador to Berlin from 1871 to 1884. During his tenure, Lord Ampthill played a significant role in the Berlin Congress of 1878, an international conference convened to resolve the Russo-Turkish War and its aftermath. He represented Britain alongside the Marquis of Salisbury and Benjamin Disraeli, two other influential figures in British politics at the time. Born in 1829, Lord Ampthill was a scion of the Russell family, one of the most prominent aristocratic families in British history. His diplomatic career began in earnest in 1854, when he was appointed as the private secretary to Lord Clarendon, the British Foreign Secretary. Over the next two decades, he held various diplomatic posts in Constantinople, Vienna, and St. Petersburg. The Berlin Congress of 1878 was a pivotal moment in European history, and Lord Ampthill's role in the proceedings was crucial. The Congress led to the signing of the Treaty of Berlin, which redrew the map of Europe and established the independence of several Balkan states. Lord Ampthill's diplomatic skills and knowledge of European politics were instrumental in securing British interests during the negotiations. This engraving is a testament to Lord Ampthill's distinguished career as a diplomat and his important role in British foreign policy during a critical period in European history. The image, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News) in 1871, is a valuable historical document that captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in shaping the course of European diplomacy in the late 19th century.
