1. Title: "Lord Elcho, British Whig Politician and Advocate for Liberty, Property, and Homeopathy" This photograph, published in Vanity Fair in an undated edition, features Francis Richard Charteris, the 10th Earl of Wemyss, better known as Lord Elcho. Born in 1818, Lord Elcho's political career began as a British Whig, and he is most notably recognized for his founding of the Liberty and Property Defence League and his presidency of the London Homoeopathic Hospital. Lord Elcho's commitment to individual liberties and property rights led him to establish the Liberty and Property Defence League in 1884, an organization that aimed to protect the rights of individuals from encroachment by the government. His unwavering dedication to these principles was evident in his political speeches and actions throughout his career. In addition to his political pursuits, Lord Elcho was also a strong advocate for homeopathy. He served as the President of the London Homoeopathic Hospital, further demonstrating his belief in alternative medical practices and his commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of his community. The photograph, taken by renowned caricaturist Carlo Pellegrini, captures Lord Elcho's distinguished appearance and serious demeanor. The caption "His course has been if not a wise yet a consistent one and dictated by conscience only" encapsulates Lord Elcho's unwavering commitment to his beliefs, making this an intriguing and historically significant image. Lord Elcho's legacy as a British Whig politician, advocate for individual liberties, and pioneer of homeopathy continues to resonate, making this photograph a valuable addition to any historical collection.
