EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Earl of Cork and Orrery, Master of Her Majesty's Buckhounds (1829-1904) This portrait depicts Richard Edmund St. Lawrence Boyle, the 9th Earl of Cork and 9th Earl of Orrery, in the prime of his distinguished career. Born in 1829, Boyle held various titles and positions that marked him as a prominent figure in British society during the Victorian era. The Earl is shown in formal attire, complete with a top hat and a decorative cravat. His regal demeanor is accentuated by the background, which features an ornate, gilded frame and a rich, red damask fabric. The Earl's piercing gaze and confident posture convey a sense of authority and leadership. One of Boyle's most notable appointments was his role as Master of Her Majesty's Buckhounds. This position, which he held from 1856 until his death in 1904, placed him in charge of the royal pack of hounds, a responsibility that required both a deep understanding of hunting traditions and a strong connection to the monarchy. Boyle's political career was equally impressive. He served as a Member of Parliament for Frome between 1854 and 1856. In 1882, he was appointed Speaker of the House of Lords, a position that required him to preside over debates and ensure the smooth functioning of the upper chamber of Parliament. This photograph is an intriguing glimpse into the life of a man who played a significant role in British history. It captures the essence of a bygone era, when titles, traditions, and the monarchy held great power and influence. The Earl of Cork and Orrery stands as a testament to the rich history and complex social fabric of Victorian Britain.
