EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the dignified presence of Edward Benson, Bishop of Truro. Taken in the 19th century by renowned photographers Lock and Whitfield, this portrait showcases the esteemed clergyman who later became Archbishop of Canterbury. Edward Benson's remarkable journey from Bishop of Truro to his prestigious position as Archbishop is beautifully encapsulated in this timeless image. The depth and detail captured by Lock & Whitfield's woodburytype technique adds an air of authenticity to this historical piece. As we gaze upon this half-length portrait, we are transported back to a significant era in English history. It is a testament to Edward Benson's influence within the Church of England that such a striking image was commissioned for publication in Men of Mark, published by Sampson Low around 1880. The studio setting provides a glimpse into the meticulous process behind creating such an exquisite photograph. Every element has been carefully considered – from Benson's regal attire to his composed expression – reflecting both his personal character and his role within the church. Now part of a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only Edward Benson's legacy but also the artistry involved in capturing moments frozen in time. As we admire this historic portrait, let us remember the profound impact that individuals like Edward Benson have had on shaping our society and religious institutions.
