FIELD MARSHALL VISCOUNT WOLSELEY, K.P., G.C.B

Approximate Image Size: 7 1/2 X 10 inches Approximate Overall Size: 10 X 14 inches

Short Biography: Excerpt from the descriptive: It would be hopeless to attempt in anything less than a resrespectably-sized book a fair presentment of the career of the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. One may go further, and say that probably not for a good many years to come will any, even a voluminous, account be published of what Lord Wolseley ahs done and his manner of doing it. For this remarkable man has few impartial contemporary critics. One of his prominent characteristics has been the faculty of inspiring either undiscriminating admiration or blind animosity. In the clearer judgment of posterity Lord Wolseley will be, on the whole, better, as well as more accurately, appreciated. It may be urged against him that his public attitude lacked that frank and sincere generosity of mind and purpose which has made heroes of smaller men; that, as a leader, he never exercised that galvanic influence over his followers which so strongly characterized the "Little Corporal" and "Corporal John."On the other hand, in the rarefied atmosphere of history as it will be written fifty years hence, Wolseley should be a commanding figure. Gallant man, earnest soldier, level-headed, cautious commander, strong, inustrious administrator, he will, by virtue of sheer distinction, rank with Wellington and Von Moltke as one of the greatest military products of the Nineteenth Century.

VERY GOOD CONDITION. Printed on heavier textured-glossy type paper. The colors are very bright and clean It does have text on reverse side (doesn't show through the heavier textured type paper) which is a write up relating to the portrait. A great Genealogy collectible item.
