EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Hudson Lowe, a prominent figure in history during the 18th and 19th centuries. Created by artist RA Muller in 1896, this portrait captures the essence of Lowe's role as an Anglo-Irish soldier and colonial administrator. Sir Hudson Lowe is most famously known for his time as the Governor of St Helena, where he was tasked with being the gaoler of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. This engraving, based on a portrait by Fremy, offers a glimpse into Lowe's stern yet intriguing personality. The Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, Volume IV by William Milligan Sloane serves as the source for this image. It provides historical context to better understand Sir Hudson Lowe's significant position within British society at that time. Lowe's occupation as a jailer highlights his involvement in one of history's most notorious imprisonments. His duty was to ensure that Napoleon remained confined on St Helena island after his defeat. This portrayal emphasizes both the power dynamics between captor and captive and sheds light on how individuals like Sir Hudson played crucial roles in shaping world events. As we gaze upon this monochrome depiction, we are reminded not only of Sir Hudson Lowe but also of the complex web woven by politics, power struggles, and historical figures that have left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
