EDITORS COMMENTS
"This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Sir William Henry Peregrine Carington, a British soldier, politician, and courtier, who graced the pages of Vanity Fair in the late 19th century. Born in 1845, Carington's military career began as a lieutenant in the Grenadier Guards, and he rose through the ranks to become a colonel. However, his true passion lay in politics, and he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Wycombe from 1868 to 1883. Carington's political career was marked by his loyalty to the Conservative Party, and he served various roles in the government. In addition to his political pursuits, Carington was also a courtier, holding the position of Equerry to Queen Victoria from 1884 until her death in 1901. This photograph, taken during Carington's later years, showcases his refined and sophisticated demeanor. His piercing gaze and well-groomed appearance convey a sense of authority and confidence. The background of the image, adorned with ornate gold frames and intricate patterns, adds to the opulence of the portrait. Sir William Henry Peregrine Carington's life was a testament to the many facets of Victorian society, from military service to politics and court life. This image serves as a reminder of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on British history."
