EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Frederick Prat Alliston, captured in this stunning portrait by Charles Haigh Wood around 1908, exudes an air of authority and self-assurance. Dressed in the intricate lace collar and robes of a high-ranking official from the Corporation of London, possibly even those worn by the esteemed Lord Mayor himself, Sir Alliston's presence commands attention. The artist skillfully portrays Sir Alliston's direct gaze, which pierces through the canvas and captivates viewers with its unwavering intensity. His expression carries a hint of self-satisfaction, as if he knows his place within society is firmly established. This remarkable piece showcases the ceremonial costume that was once donned by influential figures like Sir Alliston during early 20th century London. The vibrant colors used by Wood bring life to every detail - from the delicate lace adorning Sir Alliston's attire to his distinguished moustache that adds character to his face. Preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this oil painting offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when men like Sir Frederick Prat Alliston held significant positions within society. It serves as a testament to their power and influence over matters concerning the city they served. As we admire this portrait today, we are reminded of both the individuality and collective history embodied in each stroke of Charles Haigh Wood's brush.
