EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Tollemache, also known as Frederick William Philip Yorke Tollemache, 5th Earl of Dysart and 15th Earl of Leicester (1831-1899), is depicted in this striking photograph taken circa 1881. The Earl, who hailed from the ancient English family of Tollemache, is shown here in formal attire, exuding an air of sophistication and nobility. His piercing gaze and well-groomed beard add to his distinguished appearance. Lord Tollemache was a prominent figure in British society during the late Victorian era. He was a member of the House of Lords and held various positions of power and influence, including Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. He was also a generous patron of the arts and supported numerous charitable causes. The photograph was likely taken during a formal sitting, as evidenced by the plain background and the Earl's formal attire. The use of a large-format camera and a long exposure time would have been necessary to capture such a clear and detailed image. The photograph's high-quality printing and preservation attest to the advanced photographic techniques of the time. Lord Tollemache's title and status as a member of the British aristocracy are evident in this photograph. However, it also reveals the Earl as a man of his time, reflecting the fashion, customs, and social norms of the late Victorian era. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a nobleman during a period of great change and transformation in British history.
