Shown in judicial robes, this picture depicts Viscount Cave, the British lawyer and Conservative politician who held the office of Lord Chancellor, the senior judge of England and Wales. The Lord Chancellor also presides over the House of Lords, so the robe marks a formal legal role rather than a private occasion. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news agency that supplied press photographs in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and the identification rests on caption information that has not been independently verified.
