EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1858, showcases Mr. Samuel Gurney, a prominent British politician and banker of the nineteenth century. The image, taken by Kilburn, depicts Gurney in formal attire, donning a serious expression as he gazes directly at the camera. Gurney was the Member of Parliament for Penryn and Falmouth, and held various influential positions such as the first Chairman of the London and Provincial District Telegraph Co. Ltd., president of the National Association for the Relief of British Miners, and co-founder and chairman of the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association. The photograph captures the essence of a man of business and politics, with a strong sense of responsibility towards his community. The presence of a cattle trough in the background is a testament to Gurney's role in the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association, which aimed to provide clean water for both humans and animals in urban areas. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a man who made significant contributions to various aspects of British society during the 19th century. The intricately engraved details of the image add to its historical value, making it a prized addition to any collection of 19th-century art or photography.
