EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature depicts Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, the 4th Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl (1841-1926), an influential figure in Victorian society during the 1880s. The Earl, of Irish descent, was a journalist, landowner, businessman, sportsman, Conservative politician, and dedicated theatre patron. In this enchanting print, Earl Dunraven is shown seated during an intermission at the theatre, donning a top hat and a pince-nez. His aristocratic air is accentuated by his elegant attire and the regal posture he maintains. The caricaturist, Terry Parker, masterfully captures the Earl's distinctive features, including his bushy mustache and sharp nose. Dunraven's involvement in politics was significant, as he was a Tory and an upper-class aristocrat. His political career began in earnest when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for County Limerick in 1865. He continued to serve in various political roles, including as the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office and the Under-Secretary of State for India. Despite his busy political schedule, Dunraven remained passionate about the arts, particularly theatre. He was a generous patron, supporting various theatrical productions and even producing some himself. His love for the theatre extended beyond the stage, as he was also an accomplished actor and had a keen interest in playwriting. This caricature offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable Victorian figure, showcasing his aristocratic charm, political influence, and dedication to the arts.
