Benjamin Disraeli, three-quarter length, seated, facing right [between 1900 and 1940]

1 photographic print.

Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, was a British statesman, Conservative politician and writer who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered for his influential voice in world affairs, his political battles with the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone, and his one-nation conservatism or "Tory democracy". He made the Conservatives the party most identified with the British Empire and military action to expand it, both of which were popular among British voters. He is the only British prime minister to have been born Jewish. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin

The image is a black-and-white portrait of a man, likely from the 19th century, given the style of his clothing and the photographic technique used. The man is seated and appears to be middle-aged or older. He is wearing a formal suit with a high-collared shirt and a bow tie. His hair is neatly combed, and he has a serious expression on his face. The photograph is oval-shaped, which was a common format for portraits of that era. The background is plain, with no discernible details, focusing the attention solely on the subject. The image has a vintage quality, with some discoloration and wear visible, suggesting it is an old photograph.
