EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Lytton, the New Viceroy of India, 1876: A Statesman of Superior Capacity and Business Acumen This black and white portrait depicts Lord Lytton, the newly appointed Viceroy of India in 1876. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, showcases Lord Lytton's distinguished appearance, with his well-groomed beard and a serious, thoughtful expression. The caption beneath the portrait reads, "Lord Lytton, during a career of twenty-six years in the public service, has proved himself not only a first-rate man of business, but also one of superior capacity and of statesman-like judgment." Born as Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton in 1831, Lytton was a British statesman and writer, who rose to prominence in the latter half of the 19th century. He served in various capacities within the British government, including Under-Secretary of State for India and Secretary of State for India. In 1876, he was appointed as the Viceroy of India, a position that placed him at the helm of the British Raj, the colonial government of India. Lytton's tenure as Viceroy was marked by several significant achievements, including the introduction of a series of administrative and judicial reforms, as well as the implementation of policies aimed at improving the economic conditions in India. However, his rule was also marred by controversies, such as the infamous "Lytton's Famine" in 1876-78, which resulted in the deaths of millions of people due to famine and disease. Despite the controversies, Lord Lytton's reputation as a capable administrator and a statesman was well-established, both in Britain and in India. This portrait, with its insightful caption, captures the essence of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the British Raj during a critical period in India's colonial history.
