EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from around 1860 showcases the distinguished figure of Thomas Bazeley, a prominent English cotton manufacturer, merchant, and politician. Known for his involvement in the Anti-Cornlaw League, Bazeley played a crucial role in advocating against protective tariffs on imported grain during his time as Member of Parliament for Manchester from 1858 to 1880. The portrait captures Bazeley's formal attire and impressive facial hair, characteristic of the fashion trends prevalent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Standing waist up with an air of confidence, he gazes away thoughtfully, perhaps contemplating his significant contributions to British culture and history. As an enterprising mill owner deeply rooted in the textile industry, Bazeley symbolizes the entrepreneurial spirit that drove Britain's industrial revolution. His dedication to promoting free trade resonates through this engraving as it immortalizes him as one mature man who left an indelible mark on society. This historic print not only serves as a visual representation of Thomas Bazeley but also offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when influential individuals like him shaped political landscapes while simultaneously driving economic progress. It stands as a testament to his legacy within both business and politics—a reminder of how one person can make lasting contributions that transcend generations.
