1881 Wood Engraving Robert Peel Portrait British Politician Statesman XEI9

This is an original 1881 black and white wood engraving of Sir Robert Peel, who served as a conservative British politician, as well as a prime minister of the United Kingdom. Interestingly, Peel aided in the founding of the modern police force, which consequently led to the term "bobbies" in England and "Peelers" in Ireland.
