EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two prominent figures from the late 19th century. On the left, we see James Atlay, an esteemed English cleric who served as the Bishop of Hereford for an impressive period of 26 years, from 1868 until his passing in 1894. Known for his unwavering dedication to the Anglican faith, Atlay played a significant role in shaping religious practices during this era. On the right side of the image stands James Hamilton, also known as the 1st Duke of Abercorn. A British statesman with a remarkable political career, Hamilton held prestigious positions such as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland between 1866 and 1868 and again from 1874 to 1876. His influence extended beyond politics; he was recognized for his commitment to public service and leadership. Published in different years—Atlay's portrait in 1877 and Hamilton's around c1880—the woodburytype technique used adds depth and texture to these striking images. The timeless quality captured by this photographic process allows us to glimpse into their lives with astonishing clarity. As we admire this historical photograph, it serves as a reminder of these influential men who dedicated their lives to their respective callings: Atlay devoted himself wholeheartedly to religion while Hamilton left an indelible mark on British politics. Their legacies continue to inspire generations even today.
