EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Robert Lowe, a prominent British politician who left an indelible mark on 19th-century politics. With his distinguished appearance and refined attire, Lowe exudes an air of authority and intellect. Elected as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Kidderminster in 1852, Lowe's political journey was marked by significant achievements. Serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer and later as Home Secretary during the Gladstone administration from 1868 to 1874, he played a crucial role in shaping economic policies and ensuring law and order within the nation. Despite his numerous accomplishments, this portrait hints at a man burdened by failing eyesight. By the time he was raised to Viscount Sherbrooke when the Liberals returned to power in 1880, Lowe's interventions in debates had become rare due to his visual impairment. As we gaze upon this engraving that beautifully encapsulates both Lowe's outward elegance and inner struggles, we are reminded of his dedication to public service. A Fellow of the Royal Society and esteemed member of parliament, Robert Lowe remains an influential figure whose contributions continue to resonate through history.
