EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the seventh Earl of Stamford and third Earl of Warrington, George Harry Grey (1827-1883), in the height of the 1860s racing era. Known for his passion and enthusiasm for horse racing, Earl Stamford is depicted here in an informal setting, showcasing his distinctive whiskers and sideburns that were popular among men of the time. Born on October 11, 1827, George Harry Grey was the eldest son of Charles Grey, sixth Earl of Stamford and third Earl of Warrington, and Lady Elizabeth Sackville-West. He inherited the titles upon his father's death in 1845 and became a prominent figure in British society. Earl Stamford's love for horse racing was well-documented, and he was a regular attendee at major racing events throughout the country. His passion for the sport led him to become the Joint Master of the Quorn Hunt, one of the oldest and most prestigious hunting organizations in England. This photograph, taken in the late 1860s, offers a glimpse into the personal life of a man who was known for his public persona as a racing enthusiast. The image captures Earl Stamford in a more relaxed setting, allowing us to see him as a man outside of the racing world. The sideburns and whiskers, which were a popular fashion trend during the Victorian era, add to the historical context of the photograph and further highlight the era in which it was taken. Earl Stamford passed away on December 23, 1883, leaving behind a legacy as a dedicated racing enthusiast and a prominent figure in British society. This photograph serves as a reminder of his passion for horse racing and the fashion trends of the time, offering a unique glimpse into the past.
