EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of William Huskisson, a renowned British statesman, financier, and Member of Parliament. Engraved by J Cochran after J Graham from the book National Portrait Gallery Volume II published around 1835, this illustration captures the essence of Huskisson's influential presence during his lifetime. Huskisson's notable contributions to British politics and finance are immortalized in this finely detailed portrait. His involvement in shaping economic policies and advocating for free trade made him a prominent figure in his era. The vertical composition emphasizes his stature as he stands confidently with an air of authority. The engraving also pays homage to one fateful event that forever etched Huskisson's name into history - his untimely death at the opening ceremony of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway in 1830. As a tragic accident occurred involving George Stephenson's Rocket locomotive, Huskisson became its unfortunate victim. Ken Welsh skillfully captures both the grandeur and tragedy surrounding William Huskisson through this evocative photo print. It serves as a reminder of an influential statesman who left an indelible mark on British politics and finance during his time. This artwork is not only visually striking but also holds historical significance for those interested in exploring key figures from Britain's past.
