EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished features of William Edward Forster, a prominent figure from the 19th century. Captured by Lock and Whitfield, renowned photographers of their time, this portrait exudes an air of Victorian elegance. Forster's head and shoulders are framed within an oval shape, drawing attention to his charismatic presence. The sharpness and clarity of the photograph allow us to appreciate every detail: his neatly groomed beard, deep-set eyes filled with wisdom, and a hint of determination in his expression. As we delve into history through this image, we uncover Forster's significant contributions as a statesman and reformer. His commitment to education led him to champion the Education Act of 1870 in England. This legislation paved the way for universal primary education in the country. The photograph is part of a private collection but was originally published in "Men of Mark: A Gallery of Contemporary Portraits" in 1877. Its inclusion in this esteemed publication reflects Forster's influence on society during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from our past without commercial intentions or restrictions on its use. Through Fine Art Finder, we have access to these historical treasures that offer glimpses into moments long gone but forever captured through photography - allowing us to connect with individuals who shaped our world centuries ago.
