EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "George Henry FitzRoy, 4th Duke of Grafton: A Noted Sportsman of the 18th Century" George Henry FitzRoy (1760-1844), the 4th Duke of Grafton, was a prominent figure in British society during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Known for his passion for various sports and pastimes, the Duke left an indelible mark on the annals of history. This evocative image, bearing his autograph, offers a glimpse into the life of this esteemed nobleman. Born on March 24, 1760, George Henry FitzRoy was the eldest son of Augustus Henry FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton, and his wife, Lady Augusta FitzRoy. He succeeded to the dukedom upon his father's death in 1773, at the tender age of 13. Throughout his life, the Duke demonstrated a keen interest in a wide range of pursuits, including hunting, shooting, and horse racing. This photograph, dated between 1760 and 1844, showcases the Duke in a relaxed and informal setting, perhaps during a leisurely moment at his estate. The autograph inscription below the image, penned by the Duke himself, adds an intriguing personal touch to the portrait. George Henry FitzRoy's passion for sports extended beyond personal enjoyment. He served as Master of the Horse to King George III from 1783 until 1789, a position that allowed him to promote equestrian events and further the king's interest in horse racing. The Duke's influence extended to other areas as well, including his role as Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk from 1787 until his death in 1844. This evocative image of George Henry FitzRoy, 4th Duke of Grafton, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the past and the rich history of British nobility. The Duke's legacy as a noted sportsman and influential figure continues to captivate scholars, historians, and enthusiasts alike.
