EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the late Sir Lancelot Shadwell, Vice-Chancellor of England, in the year 1850. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, commemorates the life and career of this esteemed barrister and politician. Sir Lancelot Shadwell passed away at his residence in Barn Elms, Putney. His death was met with great sadness, as he had spent nearly a quarter of a century presiding over a branch of the Court of Chancery. Throughout this time, he earned the respect of his peers through his sound judgment, impartiality, regular attendance, and unwavering dedication and zeal. Born in the early 18th century, Sir Lancelot was called to the Bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn in 1803 and became a King's Counsel in 1821. In 1826, he was elected as a Member of Parliament for Mrs. Lawrence's borough of Ripon. Two years later, in 1827, he was appointed Vice-Chancellor of England. The print depicts Sir Lancelot in his formal attire, complete with a wig and gown, reflecting the traditional dress code of the legal profession during the Victorian era. The image serves as a testament to his successful career and the high regard in which he was held by his colleagues and the public. This historic print offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable figure in British history, whose contributions to the legal and political spheres left a lasting impact.
