EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the image of Sir Richard Cobden (1804-1865), a prominent English industrialist, economist, and politician of the 19th century. Born in Sussex, Cobden rose to prominence as a leading advocate for free trade, becoming a driving force behind the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. The Corn Laws, protective tariffs on imported grain, had long been a contentious issue in British politics, with many arguing that they protected domestic agriculture at the expense of manufacturing industries and the working class. Cobden, however, believed that free trade would benefit all parties by increasing economic efficiency, reducing costs, and fostering international cooperation. His political career was marked by a series of successful campaigns to promote free trade, including the Anti-Corn Law League and the Free Trade Association. Despite facing significant opposition from protectionist interests, Cobden's efforts ultimately paid off with the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. This marked a turning point in British economic policy and set the stage for the country's emergence as a global economic powerhouse. Cobden's legacy as a champion of free trade and economic liberalization continues to be celebrated in economic and political circles to this day. This portrait of Cobden, taken in the latter half of the 19th century, captures the serious and determined expression of a man who dedicated his life to promoting economic freedom and prosperity in Britain and beyond.
