EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures The Duke of Newcastle, K.G., a prominent figure in British politics during the mid-19th century. Taken by the renowned photographer John Watkins in 1860, the image showcases the Duke in formal attire, exuding an air of authority and sophistication. At the time of this photograph, The Duke of Newcastle, born Henry Pelham Fiennes-Pelham-Clinton, held several prestigious positions in the British government. In 1834-35, he served as a Lord of the Treasury in Sir Robert Peel's government. Later, in 1846, he was appointed as Chief Secretary for Ireland. In 1852, he joined the Coalition Ministry, under Lord Aberdeen, as Secretary for the Colonies. When the Crimean War broke out in 1854, The Duke of Newcastle was given the option to choose between the Secretaryship for War and the Secretaryship for the Colonies. He opted for the former, demonstrating his commitment to the military efforts. In 1855, he visited the Crimea personally to assess the workings of the War Department. The Duke was known for his advanced yet judicious liberal views in politics and an unwavering dedication to his official duties. Besides his role as Secretary for War, he held various other appointments, including one of the Council of the Duchy of Lancaster, Lieut.-Colonel Commandant of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry Cavalry, and Lord Lieutenant of the county of Nottingham. Recently, The Duke of Newcastle was honored with the prestigious title of Knight of the Garter, further solidifying his place in British history.
