EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Statesman of Industry: Sir Arthur Philip Du Cros (1913)**
This striking portrait print captures a moment in time with Sir Arthur Philip Du Cros, a prominent British businessman and politician. Taken in 1913 by the esteemed photographers at Bain News Service, led by George Graham Bain, this black-and-white image presents a dignified gentleman of industry.
Du Cros was a member of Parliament for Hastings from 1900 to 1922 and served as Chairman of Dunlop Rubber Company. His impressive mustache and well-groomed head add gravitas to the portrait, reflecting his stature in British politics and business circles during this era.
The Bain News Service's innovative use of glass negatives allowed them to produce high-quality prints like this one, which has been preserved for generations through its inclusion in the Library of Congress. This photograph is a testament not only to Du Cros' remarkable career but also to the enduring power of photography as an art form and historical record.
In this portrait, we see a man who embodied British conservatism during World War I, serving on various committees related to industry and trade. His legacy continues to fascinate historians and enthusiasts alike, offering valuable insights into Britain's industrial heritage in the early 20th century.
