He served as Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies under Palmerston and was admitted to the Privy Council in 1864. Appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland under Lord Russell and subsequently under William Ewart Gladstone, he came to hold a seat in Gladstone's cabinet and was admitted to the Irish Privy Council. He also later served as President of the Board of Trade. Appointed Knight of the Order of St. Patrick in 1882, he was an active supporter on Irish questions in his early years but later parted with Gladstone on the question of Irish Home Rule. Both a printing process and the print which it produces, Woodburytype was invented and patented by Walter B. Woodbury in 1864. A photomechanical process, Woodbury type prints are made from exposing a dichromate-sensitized sheet of gelatin to UV light shining through a photographic negative. Each area of the gelatin hardens to a depth in proportion to the amount of exposure to the light before it is then soaked in warm water. The relief image is then pressed onto a sheet of lead to create an intaglio metal printing plate. Fine .
