The Baccarat Case - A Glimpse into the Royal Baccarat Scandal of 1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Baccarat Case" takes us back to a scandalous chapter in British history. Captured by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving provides a visual narrative of the infamous trial that shook society. At its center stands Mrs. Arthur Wilson, born in 1837, hailing from North Buckinghamshire. She courageously took on prominent figures such as Lord Coventry and Lord E Somerset as defendants alongside her supporters - Mr. Berkeley Levett and Sir W Gordon Cumming among them. The trial revolved around allegations of gambling within high society circles during an era when such activities were frowned upon. The accused individuals faced intense scrutiny for their involvement in the royal baccarat scandal, which had far-reaching consequences. Intriguingly, this image also features Mrs. Lycett Green, who tragically passed away just weeks before the trial commenced on May 21st, 1891. Her presence serves as a reminder of how deeply entangled these individuals were within social and political spheres. As we delve into this historical snapshot through Bridgeman Images' lens, we witness not only the courtroom drama but also glimpses of fellow Gladstonian MPs like Mr. George Lewis lending their support to those involved. "The Baccarat Case" engraving offers us an intriguing window into a time
