Légende

The late Lord Randolph Churchill: latest portrait of Lord Randolph Churchill, 1895. '...his African experiences did not bring him popularity, and with ill-health his oratory began to fail in power. Premonitory symptoms of paralysis showed themselves. He lost the power of articulation, and his delivery, always rapid, fluent, energetic, became confused and indistinct. The old fire blazed up fitfully and then sank again. Last session all men noted with sorrow that the meteor-like career was over...To the last he was popular. He had great charm of manner, was a good talker, given to reckless epigrams, a lord who was more of a democrat at heart than any of his contemporaries in high politics, an orator, a man with remarkable powers of action. So short a life, and yet so full; so great a beginning, so sad an end!' From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
