EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch of 1st Viscount De L'Isle, drawn by the renowned artist Stephen Ward in 1961, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of British aristocracy and politics. De L'Isle, born William Sidney, was a prominent figure in his time, serving as a soldier, businessman, and politician. At the time this portrait was created, he had recently been appointed as the Governor-General of Australia, a prestigious position that added to his already impressive resume. Ward, a skilled artist who had gained a reputation for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, was granted a sitting with De L'Isle specifically for the Illustrated London News. The resulting sketch showcases the viscount's refined features, stern expression, and impeccable attire, reflecting his aristocratic status. Two years after this sitting, however, Ward would become embroiled in a scandal that would forever change his reputation. His involvement in the Profumo Affair, a political sex scandal that rocked the British government, would overshadow his artistic accomplishments and cast a shadow over this portrait. Despite this, the sketch remains an intriguing reminder of a time when high society and politics intersected in a more formal and less scandalous way. This evocative image, a product of the 1960s, offers a glimpse into a world of power, prestige, and politics that may seem distant and foreign to us today. As we study the lines and shades of Ward's sketch, we are transported back to a time when men like De L'Isle held significant influence over the course of history.
