EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Lord North, the 2nd Earl of Guilford, who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain during the late 18th century. The image showcases a distinguished gentleman with a somber expression on his face, reflecting the tumultuous period he lived in. Lord North assumed office in 1770 but faced significant challenges during his tenure, including the American Revolutionary War. The photograph is believed to have been taken around 1881 and was featured in "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places". This publication by Edward Walford provides an insightful account of Westminster and its western suburbs. Lord North's resignation on March 27,1782 followed a vote of no confidence after the British defeat at Yorktown in America. It is said that upon hearing this news, he exclaimed with despair, "Oh God! It's all over! It's all over!". This emotional moment captured within the portrait adds depth to our understanding of this influential statesman. As we gaze upon this historic image today, it serves as a reminder of Lord North's role in shaping British politics during a time marked by rebellion and revolution. His portrait stands as a testament to his position among the aristocracy and his significance as both a politician and prime minister.
