EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Montagu William Lowry Corry, 1st Baron Rowton (1838-1903), an influential statesman and philanthropist who served as Disraeli's private secretary. The photograph, taken by Vanity Fair in 1877, showcases Corry's distinguished profile, donning a checked suit and top hat that were fashionable attire for gentlemen of the time. Born into a wealthy family, Corry's political career began in earnest when he was appointed as Disraeli's private secretary in 1868. He served in this role until Disraeli's resignation in 1880. During this period, Corry played a pivotal role in shaping Disraeli's policies and was instrumental in the Conservative Party's electoral victories. After Disraeli's retirement from politics, Corry continued to make significant contributions to society through his philanthropic endeavors. He was a founding member of the Charity Organisation Society, which aimed to provide long-term solutions to poverty rather than just short-term relief. He also established the Rowton Houses, which provided affordable housing for the working class. Corry's legacy extends beyond politics and philanthropy. He was a prolific writer and published several books, including "The Life of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield," which remains a valuable historical account of Disraeli's life and political career. This photograph of Montagu William Lowry Corry, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable statesman and philanthropist who left an indelible mark on British history.
