EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Law and Conscience, 1883" captures a significant figure in British legal history, Richard Everard Webster QC. In this portrait by Verheyden, Webster is depicted as a distinguished barrister, politician, and judge. Webster's illustrious career spanned various roles within the legal and political spheres of England during the late 19th century. Rising to prominence as a Queen's Counsel in 1878, he later served as lead counsel for The Times in the Parnell inquiry of 1890. As a member of the Conservative Party, Webster held seats representing Launceston (1885) and the Isle of Wight (1885-1890) in Parliament. His expertise led him to become Attorney General in several Conservative administrations from 1885 to 1900. Recognizing his exceptional contributions to law and politics, Webster was raised to the peerage in 1900 and appointed Master of the Rolls before being elevated further as Lord Chief Justice of England later that same year. This striking chromolithograph from Vanity Fair showcases Webster wearing traditional judicial attire with his signature wig—a symbol synonymous with justice during Victorian times. It serves not only as an artistic representation but also pays tribute to an influential statesman who left an indelible mark on Britain's legal system. As we admire this remarkable print by Verheyden today, it reminds us of Richard Everard Webster's enduring legacy as Viscount Alverstone—an esteemed figure whose commitment to justice shaped both past and present generations alike.
