EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Samuel Wilberforce, an influential English prelate and the third son of renowned abolitionist William Wilberforce. The image captures his dignified presence and charismatic charm, for which he earned the affectionate nickname "Soapy Sam". Wilberforce's ecclesiastical career was marked by notable appointments as Bishop of Oxford in 1845 and later as Bishop of Winchester in 1869. His commitment to his faith and dedication to his role made him a respected figure within the Church. However, it was not just his religious pursuits that defined Wilberforce's legacy. He also gained recognition for his staunch opposition to Darwinism, a controversial scientific theory during that time. This stance further solidified his reputation as a man unafraid to challenge prevailing ideas. The photograph is sourced from The Illustrated London News dated July 26th, 1873 - a testament to its historical significance. It serves as a visual window into the life of this esteemed British figure who carried on the legacy of his abolitionist father while leaving an indelible mark on both religious and intellectual spheres
