EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth: A Man of Wit and Whimsy" Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth (1819-1889), was a man of many facets, a true embodiment of the Victorian era's complexities and contradictions. This portrait, taken during the height of his social prominence, offers a glimpse into the life of a man known for his wit, charm, and penchant for the unconventional. Born into the aristocracy, Evelyn Boscawen was the eldest son of the 5th Viscount Falmouth and Lady Elizabeth Boscawen. His lineage traced back to the Tudor period, and his title carried with it a rich history and a significant degree of influence. However, the young Viscount was not content to rest on his laurels. Instead, he embraced the spirit of the age, seeking adventure and intrigue wherever he went. This image, taken by the renowned photographic studio Vanity Fair, captures the Viscount in his prime. The caption, "Never bets," is a testament to his reputation as a man of unpredictability. Boscawen was known to be a generous and affable host, but he was also a shrewd gambler and a master of disguise. He was said to have spent hours in the company of London's underworld, using his charm and intelligence to outwit the city's most notorious criminals. Despite his love for the unconventional, Boscawen was also a devoted family man. He married Lady Emily Gordon-Lennox in 1849, and together they had five children. The couple's home, Tregothnan, in Cornwall, was a hub of social activity, and Boscawen's hospitality was legendary. This portrait, with its enigmatic caption, serves as a reminder of the complexities and contradictions of the Victorian era. Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth, was a man of wit, charm, and adventure, a true embodiment of the age in which he lived.
