EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Sir Alexander Cockburn, the 12th Baronet and Lord Chief Justice of England in 1875. With his piercing gaze and regal presence, Cockburn exudes authority and intellect. His involvement in some of the most significant legal cases of the 19th century solidified his reputation as a prominent figure within the English judiciary. Throughout his illustrious career, Cockburn served as Solicitor General and Attorney General before being appointed Chief Justice of the Queens Bench in 1859. This esteemed position was later renamed Lord Chief Justice in 1875, which he held until his passing in 1880. The portrait captures Cockburn wearing a traditional wig, symbolizing both tradition and formality within British law. The monochrome engraving adds an air of timelessness to this image from The Illustrated London News dated March 27th, 1875. Sir Alexander James Edmund Cockburn's legacy extends beyond his judicial accomplishments; he played a pivotal role in shaping English law during this era. As we admire this print today, we are reminded not only of one man's remarkable journey but also of the enduring principles that underpin justice systems around the world.
