EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Jack Hills (1867-1938) in 1896, taken by an English photographer. Jack Hills was a prominent figure of his time, known for his political career and passion for angling. Born on January 2nd, 1867, in Belgrave Road, Pimlico, London, he grew up to become a respected politician and member of Parliament. Hills hailed from a distinguished family background; his father Herbert Augustus Hills was a barrister and judge of the International Court of Appeal in Cairo. His mother Anna was the daughter of William Robert Grove, a renowned scientist and judge. Educated at Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford, Hills initially pursued law but eventually became a solicitor in 1897. He formed the partnership firm Hills and Halsey while also engaging in various political endeavors. Tragedy struck early in his personal life when his first wife Stella fell ill with peritonitis shortly after their marriage. She tragically passed away in July 1897. In her memory, Hills generously transferred her marriage settlement income to her half-sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf. Despite societal constraints preventing them from marrying due to Vanessa being Stella's sister-in-law by blood relation, Jack developed a close relationship with Vanessa Bell. On the other hand, Virginia Woolf often made humorous remarks about him. In 1831, Hills remarried Mary Grace Ashton who gave birth to their son Sir Andrew Ashton Waller Hills - destined for greatness himself.
