EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Lord Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer, a British statesman, diplomat, and colonial administrator, in the early 1900s. The image, created by the renowned photographer Dickinson, was published in "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX" by Cassell and Company, Limited. Lord Cromer, born in 1841, held various high-ranking positions in the British government, including the post of Consul-General in Egypt and High Commissioner in Sudan. He is best known for his role as the British Proconsul of Egypt from 1883 to 1892, during which time he implemented significant reforms and modernized the Egyptian administration. Despite his impressive accomplishments, Lord Cromer is also remembered for his opposition to women's suffrage. He served as the president of the Men's League for Opposing Women's Suffrage, reflecting the conservative and male-dominated political climate of the time. His stance on women's rights adds an intriguing layer to this historical figure, showcasing the complexities of the past. The portrait, with its formal attire and serious expression, conveys the gravity and importance of Lord Cromer's position and accomplishments. The monochrome palette adds a timeless and classic feel, making it a striking addition to any collection of historical portraits or British history.
