EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating photograph captures a significant moment in British social history, as His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, examines Lord Shaftesbury during a hearing of the Royal Commission on the Housing of the Poor in 1891. The Prince, who was then the heir to the throne, is seen intently listening to Lord Shaftesbury's testimony, with a serious expression on his face. Lord Shaftesbury, the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury and a prominent social reformer, was a key figure in the campaign to improve living conditions for the urban poor in Britain during the late 19th century. The Royal Commission, established in response to growing concerns about social ills and the deplorable living conditions of the working class, was a major step towards addressing these issues. The photograph, published in the weekly newspaper "The Graphic," offers a unique insight into the political process and the role of the monarchy in shaping social policy during this period. The image is a testament to the power of the press in bringing important social issues to public attention and holding those in power accountable for addressing them.
