EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Lord Curzon, a prominent figure in British history, depicted in a cartoon from the Struwwelpeter Alphabet dating back to 1900. The colour litho artwork showcases his proud and imperial stature as he stands tall with an air of superiority. Lord Curzon, also known as George Nathaniel Curzon, was an influential Conservative statesman who held significant positions such as Viceroy of India and Foreign Secretary. The image portrays him in all his pompous glory, symbolizing the aristocracy and their self-importance during that era. With an elephant bowing before him, it exemplifies his haughty demeanor and suggests his perceived dominance over others. This portrait not only reflects Lord Curzon's individual character but also represents the broader context of British imperialism at the time. As we delve into this historical photograph, we are reminded of the pride and arrogance associated with aristocrats like Lord Curzon. It serves as a visual testament to the power dynamics prevalent within society during that period. Through this image, we gain insight into both personal attributes and societal structures that shaped British history. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into a bygone era where individuals like Lord Curzon played pivotal roles in shaping political landscapes on both national and international levels.
