EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting steel engraving, titled "Portrait of Mary, daughter of George Howard, 6th Earl of Carlisle," captures the youthful charm and elegance of Mary Matilda Georgiana Labouchere, later known as Lady Taunton. The portrait, created by the skilled hands of engraver William Henry Mote, is based on an original illustration by John Bostock from Charles Heath's "Portraits of the Children of the Nobility," published in Longmont, London, in 1838. Mary, dressed in a satin gown adorned with delicate ribbons and lace, gazes at the viewer with an innocent and playful expression. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her cherubic face. The portrait conveys a sense of refinement and sophistication, typical of the Victorian aristocracy. Mary's brother, Thomas, 2nd Lord Grey de Wilton, is also depicted in the same publication, wearing a frilly dress and a toy horse. The siblings' portraits are a testament to the fashionable attire and upbringing of the nobility during the Victorian era. The engraving's intricate details, such as the feather in Mary's bonnet and the ribbons on her dress, are a reflection of the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the artistic style of the time. The portrait of Mary, with her doll-like features and charming expression, is a captivating glimpse into the lives of the children of the nobility during the 19th century. The portrait is reminiscent of other famous Victorian portraits, such as those by Alfred Edward Chalon and the Egerton children by John Jabez Edwin Mayall. This engraving, however, offers a unique perspective on the subject, highlighting the artistic collaboration between the engraver, illustrator, and publisher in creating a visual record of the aristocracy's children during this period.
