EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the 19th century, showcases Mr. Edwin James, Q.C. (later known as Edwin John James), an esteemed barrister and Member of Parliament from Britain, in the heart of Garibaldi's camp. The sketch, created by a special artist for the Illustrated London News in 1860, captures him in his distinctive half-military, half-navvy attire. Edwin James, an ardent supporter of the Italian cause for freedom, had joined the Expedition of the Thousand without a retaining fee. His letters in the daily journals kept the public informed of his experiences within the Garibaldian camp. Dressed in a full-length outfit, complete with a gun slung over his shoulder and a pistol in his hand, Edwin James embodied the spirit of revolution and the Risorgimento. The black and white image, engraved for reproduction, presents a striking contrast between the man of law and the man of war. Francis Vizetelly, the editor of the Illustrated London News, and his brother Frank Vizetelly, who was also present in the camp, documented the exploits of Edwin James and other notable figures. This print, a testament to the political climate of the time, offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those who sought to make a difference in the world. The image, with its rich historical context, continues to intrigue and inspire, showcasing the versatility and courage of an individual who transcended the boundaries of his profession as a barrister and a politician to become an active participant in the Italian revolution.
