EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Lord Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer, a prominent British statesman, diplomat, and colonial administrator of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image, an engraving based on a photograph by J. Heyman, is taken from "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX," published by Cassell and Company in London, Paris, New York, and Melbourne around 1900. Lord Cromer's distinguished career began in the diplomatic service, and he later served as the British Consul-General in Egypt from 1883 to 1892, where he played a crucial role in modernizing the country's administration. He was also a vocal opponent of women's suffrage and served as the president of the Men's League for Opposing Women's Suffrage. Despite his significant contributions to British politics and colonial administration, Lord Cromer's stance on women's rights has been criticized as misogynistic. The engraving, with its formal composition and serious expression, emphasizes the powerful and authoritative presence of this influential figure. The print, now a valuable addition to any collection, offers a glimpse into the past and the complexities of British history during the 1900s.
