EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the distinguished visage of Edward Thurlow, 1st Baron Thurlow (1731-1806), a prominent British lawyer and Tory politician of the late 18th century. Thurlow's political career began in 1765 when he was elected to the House of Commons, representing the borough of Old Sarum. He served in this capacity until 1778, when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Thurlow. Thurlow's legal expertise and political acumen earned him the position of Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain, a role he held for an impressive fourteen years under the tenures of four different Prime Ministers: Lord North, William Pitt the Elder, William Pitt the Younger, and William Grenville. As Lord High Chancellor, Thurlow played a pivotal role in shaping British law and politics during a time of great change and upheaval, including the American Revolution and the French Revolution. This photograph, taken in 1875, is a testament to Thurlow's enduring legacy as a respected and influential figure in British history. The portrait captures the gravity and wisdom of a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country and the pursuit of justice. Thurlow's steadfast commitment to the Tory party and his unwavering dedication to the rule of law make him a significant figure in the annals of British political history.
