EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Henry Gerard Sturt, 1st Baron Alington, in the year 1876. The image is an engraving derived from a photograph taken by the renowned Fradelle and Marshall. At the time, Lord Alington held the position as the Member of Parliament for Dorsetshire, and was subsequently elevated to the peerage with the title 'Baron Alington of Critchell'. Lord Alington was a dedicated Conservative, consistently aligning himself with the political beliefs of Lord Derby and Benjamin Disraeli. However, his political career was marked by three speeches that showcased a surprising degree of liberality on specific issues. These speeches were celebrated for their incisive reasoning and abundant humor. Despite his political prominence, Lord Alington was also identified as one of the private landlords implicated in the deplorable living conditions exposed in the London Poverty Maps compiled by Charles Booth in the late 1890s. The East End's dire situation was a significant social concern during this period, and Lord Alington's involvement added to the ongoing debate surrounding the responsibilities of the aristocracy towards their tenants. The print captures Lord Alington in mature years, with an expressive face, mutton chop sideburns, and a well-groomed mustache. His attire includes a formal waistcoat and sideboard, typical of the aristocratic fashion of the era. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent 19th-century British aristocrat, providing a fascinating blend of political history and social commentary.
