Theodora "Tao" Wolfe found this photo in an old writing desk.
"Paul Murphy" ( prmurphy@eircom.net ) of Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, Ireland, wrote saying, " I have no idea of who is responsible for the drawing, but the subject is William Ewart Gladstone. He was a statesman and Prime Minister, member of the Liberal Party during the years 1868–74, 1880–85, 1886 and 1892–94. " Paul is married to the great-niece of Marion Gill. Ruth Alliband writes, "We assume it was done from a photograph by Henry Standing (it was found in his writing desk). Gladstone must have been an individual Henry admired from a great distance (the Iowa prairies)." This picture will be moved to the Henry Standing page. |
