Lord Brougham, a prominent figure in 19th century England, was known for his influential role in politics and society. Born around 1860-1865, Lord Brougham's legacy is captured through various artistic creations by unknown artists. One such artwork is "Lord Brougham and his Family, Cannes, " painted in 1862 by Charles Negre. This portrait showcases Lord Brougham surrounded by his loved ones, offering a glimpse into the personal life of this esteemed lord. Another intriguing piece is "Swing Caught at Last" from 1835, created by John Doyle. This satirical illustration humorously depicts the dispersion of thimble-rigging - a popular street game during that era. In addition to political satire, Doyle also depicted Lord Brougham's involvement in politics with pieces like "A Game of Political Shuttlecock" (1831). Through clever imagery and witty commentary, these artworks shed light on the political climate of the time. Doyle's work also includes humorous scenes such as "Going to the Fair with it. " (1837), showcasing ordinary people enjoying leisure activities amidst societal changes. Similarly entertaining is "Trios Dogs: A Graphic Tale, " which offers a moral lesson hidden within its narrative for those who can decipher it. Furthermore, an original sketch presumed to have inspired Hogarth's famous painting titled "The Cock Pit" (1837) highlights Lord Brougham's influence on contemporary art forms beyond politics. Other notable works include Doyle's illustrations like "The Centaur or The Rape of Act Restored from Antique" (1834), which combines classical mythology with social commentary; and "The Vaux and The Grapes" (1835), depicting an allegorical scene symbolizing indulgence leading to downfall. Lastly, we have John Doyle’s “A Select Specimen of the BLACK Style” from 1833 – an example of his unique artistic style and wit.
