EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Bishop of Bristol, most likely George Henry Lee Nickson, who served the diocese from 1914 to 1933. The image, believed to have been taken around 1922, portrays the Bishop in his ceremonial robes, holding a pastoral staff and gazing intently into the distance. Bishop Nickson was a fervent supporter of British participation in the First World War and is depicted here with an air of determination and resolve. The Bishop of Bristol's unwavering commitment to his faith and community was evident during this tumultuous period in history. This photograph was published in the December 1922 - January 1923 volume of a colour magazine, adding to its historical significance. The image is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, which documents the social, political, and cultural landscape of the early 20th century. Bishop Nickson's tenure as the Bishop of Bristol was marked by numerous charitable works and community initiatives. He was also a patron of the arts and supported the development of the city's cultural scene. Kathleen Scott, the renowned sculptor and wife of Sir Edwin Lutyens, is known to have visited the diocese during this time, and it is possible that she may have met with the Bishop during her stay. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of a significant historical figure and an insight into the social and religious fabric of the time.
