EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Countess of Verulam, Charlotte Jenkinson (nee Barnard), in Mourning, 1863" This evocative portrait captures the sorrowful visage of Charlotte Jenkinson, Countess of Verulam, in the year following the death of her beloved husband, James, the first Earl of Verulam. Born Charlotte Barnard on October 13, 1812, she was the daughter of the Reverend John Barnard and his wife, Anne. In 1831, she married James Brudenell, the future Earl of Verulam, and the couple went on to have eight children together. The Earl of Verulam was a prominent figure in British politics, serving as a Member of Parliament and holding various positions in the government. He was known for his strong conservative views and his dedication to the Church of England. Tragically, he passed away on March 1, 1862, leaving behind his grieving wife and their family. In this poignant image, taken in 1863, the Countess of Verulam is depicted in full mourning attire, her face etched with the deep lines of sorrow and loss. Her dark dress, adorned with black lace and ribbons, is a reflection of the profound grief that consumed her in the wake of her husband's death. The haunting emptiness in her eyes speaks volumes about the depth of her sorrow and the profound impact that his passing had on her life. Despite her personal tragedy, the Countess of Verulam continued to play an active role in society, using her influence and resources to support various charitable causes and to promote the interests of her family. Her strength and resilience in the face of adversity serve as a testament to her indomitable spirit and her unwavering commitment to her duties as a wife, mother, and member of the aristocracy. This hauntingly beautiful portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who, in the midst of her grief, continued to carry on with grace and dignity, leaving a lasting legacy as the Countess of Verulam.
