1801 1817 Bacon Byrons Charlotte Engraved Referred Seventy Sixteen


EDITORS COMMENTS
This double portrait showcases Lady Charlotte Bacon (1801-1880), the enigmatic figure referred to as 'Ianthe' in Lord Byron's Childe Harold of 1817. The portraits, meticulously engraved by Mary Evans Prints Online, offer a unique glimpse into the life of this intriguing woman, whose image captivated the renowned poet. The portrait on the left depicts Lady Charlotte at the tender age of sixteen, with her youthful beauty and innocence radiating through her expressive eyes and delicate features. Her dark hair, cascading in soft curls, frames her oval face, and her elegant attire speaks of her privileged upbringing. In stark contrast, the portrait on the right reveals Lady Charlotte's transformation into an elderly woman, now in her seventies. Her once-youthful countenance has given way to the lines and wrinkles of age, yet her regal bearing and piercing gaze remain unchanged. Her white hair, styled in an elegant chignon, frames her matured face, and her attire, though simpler, still exudes an air of refinement. Lady Charlotte Bacon was the daughter of Sir Edward Bacon, 8th Baronet, and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Hatton. Her association with Lord Byron began when she was just sixteen, and he was thirty-one. Byron's poem, Childe Harold, immortalized her as 'Ianthe,' the 'maiden fair' who captured the heart of the wandering poet. The connection between the two was brief, but the impact on Byron's work was significant, and Lady Charlotte's legacy as the muse for one of the most famous poems in English literature endures to this day.
