EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert, the 4th Earl of Carnarvon, a prominent figure in British politics and archaeology during the 19th century. Known for his eloquence and intelligence, Lord Carnarvon rose to prominence with his maiden speech in the House of Lords, catching the attention of Lord Derby. This led to various high-ranking positions within the government, including Under-Secretary of State for the colonies and Secretary of State for the colonies. Beyond his political career, Lord Carnarvon had a deep passion for archaeology. He became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1877 and served as its president from 1878 to 1885. His interest in uncovering ancient civilizations took him on numerous expeditions and fueled his contributions to archaeological research. In this monochrome engraving from a photograph taken during that era, Lord Carnarvon's dignified presence is evident. The portrait captures both his statesman-like demeanor and intellectual curiosity. It serves as a testament to his multifaceted life - one filled with political achievements alongside an unwavering dedication to unraveling history's mysteries. The Life & Times of Queen Victoria by Robert Wilson provides us with this remarkable image that immortalizes Lord Carnarvon's legacy as both an influential politician and esteemed archaeologist.
