Portrait of Walter B. Harris, 1906 — Collector’s Edition
By Sir John Lavery
Daring, dashing, and impeccably dressed, Walter B. Harris epitomised the Edwardian adventurer. Sir John Lavery’s 1906 portrait captures him at the height of his reputation—self-assured, worldly, and alive with narrative tension.
Harris appears in classic colonial attire—leather gaiters, crisp jodhpurs, and a knowing glint that hints at a life lived on the edge of diplomacy and danger. A seasoned journalist and storyteller, he served as The Times’ Tangier Correspondent from 1906 until his death, moving fluently between cultures and languages.
Painted during Lavery’s journey to Fez—arranged by Harris himself alongside his friend R. B. Cunninghame Graham— this work is more than a likeness. It is a snapshot of a moment in history: of bold travel, political intrigue, and personal charisma under warm desert light.
