Illustration from Cassell's History of England, pub circa 1905. After the photo by Elliott (died 1903) & Fry (died 1897) Info from wiki: Sir George Dashwood Taubman Goldie (20 May 1846 – 20 August 1925) was a Manx administrator who played a major role in the founding of Nigeria. In many ways, his role was similar to that of Cecil Rhodes elsewhere in Africa but he lacked Rhodes' thirst for publicity.
