EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the distinguished figure of Mr. Justice Hawkins, an English judge who gained notoriety during the intriguing Tichborne case of the late 1800s. Born in 1817, Hawkins rose through the ranks of the legal profession to become a respected and influential judge. His tenure on the bench began in 1870 and would be forever etched in history due to his involvement in one of the most sensational trials of the Victorian era. The Tichborne case, which unfolded between 1869 and 1872, was a complex and bizarre affair. At its heart was a claim of mistaken identity, with Arthur Orton, a farm laborer, asserting that he was in fact the long-lost heir to the Tichborne baronetcy, Sir Roger Tichborne, who had been presumed dead for over 20 years. The trial, which captivated the public, hinged on the question of identity and the credibility of the evidence presented. Mr. Justice Hawkins, with his stern gaze and imposing wig, presided over the trial with unwavering authority. His role in the case was pivotal, as he ultimately delivered the verdict that found Orton guilty of fraudulently assuming the identity of Sir Roger Tichborne. The decision was a significant moment in English legal history, as it set a precedent for the application of DNA evidence in cases of identity disputes. This photograph print, taken in 1907, captures the essence of a bygone era and the legacy of a man who left an indelible mark on the annals of English law. The image of Mr. Justice Hawkins, with his solemn expression and unwavering demeanor, serves as a reminder of the importance of truth, justice, and the rule of law in the face of deception and intrigue.
