Lord Reay: A Man of Influence and Prestige Lord Reay, a prominent figure during the late 19th century, played a significant role in various aspects of British society. As the Home Rule Bill made its way through the Lords, Lord Reay's presence was felt among the members of the Upper House. His astute understanding of politics and unwavering dedication to his duties earned him respect from both colleagues and constituents alike. In Clubland, Lord Reay held an important position as he possessed the key to "A General Meeting of the Travellers Club. " This engraving captures his involvement in exclusive social circles where influential individuals gathered to discuss matters close to their hearts. During Prince Albert Victor's visit to India, Lord Reay accompanied him on several occasions. The Prince's exploration included visits to Gunesh Khund and Government House at Poonah, Bombay. In these engravings capturing those moments, we see Lord and Lady Reay standing alongside Prince Albert Victor—a testament to their close relationship with royalty. As a distinguished member of society, Lord Curzon invited Lord Reay as one of many esteemed guests at a banquet held in honor of India's new Viceroy. Captured lithographically is Lord Curzon delivering an eloquent speech while surrounded by notable figures like our very own Lord Reay. Not limited solely to political affairs, it also contributed significantly towards education reform. The School Board for London witnessed his active participation during sittings at their offices on Thames Embankment—an indication that he recognized education as vital for societal progress. The New British Academy saw its inception under the guidance of eminent personalities such as our beloved lord himself. Photographs depict him alongside other council members who shared his vision for advancing knowledge and promoting intellectual pursuits across Britain. Further emphasizing his connection with India, photographs reveal Prince Albert Victor joining a photographic group at Government House in Poona—another occasion where Lord Reay's presence was notable.
