EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic character of the 6th Earl of Donoughmore, Richard Walter Hely-Hutchinson (1875-1948). As an Irish peer and prominent politician, Lord Donoughmore held several significant positions within the British government, most notably serving as Under Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1916 to 1919. The image, published in Vanity Fair during the late Victorian era (approximately 1848-1900), offers a glimpse into the Earl's discreet and sophisticated demeanor. With a serious expression and piercing gaze, Lord Donoughmore exudes an air of intelligence and authority. His impeccably dressed attire, complete with a crisp shirt, striped waistcoat, and well-tailored jacket, further emphasizes his status and refinement. Lord Donoughmore's political career began in earnest in 1906 when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for East Limerick. Over the following decades, he would go on to hold various positions within the Conservative Party, including Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health. Despite his prominent role in British politics, Lord Donoughmore's tenure as Under Secretary of State for the Colonies during World War I remains one of his most intriguing chapters. During this time, he played a crucial role in the administration of Ireland, working to maintain order and stability amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Easter Rising and the subsequent Irish War of Independence. This portrait, drawn for the first time, offers a unique window into the life and character of a remarkable Irish peer and politician whose influence on British history is still felt today.
