Henry Charles Keith Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne

(1845-1927), Viceroy of India and Foreign Secretary

Sitter in 28 portraits
Lansdowne is unusual for having held senior positions in both Liberal Party and Conservative Party governments. He entered the House of Lords as a member of the Liberal Party in 1866 and served in various positions before being appointed Governor-General of Canada in 1883. From there, in 1888, he proceeded almost directly to India as Viceroy; he remained in Calcutta until 1894. Upon his return, he aligned himself with the Conservative Party. As British Foreign Secretary, he signed the 1902 Anglo-Japanese Alliance and negotiated the 1904 Anglo-French Entente Cordiale.
