EDITORS COMMENTS
great image of Sir George Cornewall Lewis Esq. M.P. for Herefordshire, captured in this stunning 19th century photograph by the renowned William Edward Kilburn. The portrait, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, showcases Sir George's distinguished appearance with his sharp suit, neatly tied cravat, and piercing gaze. Sir George Cornewall Lewis, 2nd Baronet, was a prominent British politician of the Victorian era. In 1835, he was appointed to the commission of enquiry into the relief of the poor and the state of the Church in Ireland. The report from this commission served as the foundation for the Irish Poor-law. Subsequently, Sir George drafted a comprehensive report on the condition of the Irish in Great Britain. His significant contributions to politics extended beyond Ireland, as he was also an influential figure in various other areas. Sir George's political career was marked by his dedication to serving the people and addressing the pressing issues of his time. This portrait, a testament to the skill of William Edward Kilburn, encapsulates the essence of a man who left an indelible mark on British politics during the 19th century.
