Framed Print of Sir Hercules Robinson, G.C.M.G. 1895. Creator: Alexander Bassano
Sir Hercules Robinson, G.C.M.G. 1895. Governor of Cape Colony and Imperial High Commissioner for South Africa. At the age of thirty he became President of Montserrat, then for four years he was Lieutenant-Governor of St. Kitts; next he held the consecutive Governorships of Hong Kong, Ceylon, New South Wales, and New Zealand...In 1874 Sir Hercules went to the Fiji Islands, where there had been considerable disturbance. He accepted the unconditional cession of the islands, and annexing them to the British Government, hoisted the Queen's flag...In 1881 he went out to South Africa, which was then embroiled in war, and for eight years laboured wisely and effectively. He presided over the Royal Commission which drew up the first Transvaal Convention, and the subsequent Convention of 1884 owed much to his initiative...Much useful work for the State has been done by Sir Hercules and his brothers, one of whom, Sir William C. F. Robinson, is the popular and accomplished Governor of West Australia, who possesses an unusual talent for music. And that more valuable service may be rendered to the British Empire by this far-seeing Irishman is the hope of all admirers of Sir Hercules Robinson'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
