EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, George Henry Hugh Cholmondeley, the 4th Marquess of Cholmondeley, is depicted in his full ceremonial regalia as Lord Great Chamberlain during the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902. The Marquess, who was born on October 23, 1858, was a prominent figure in the British aristocracy and held one of the most prestigious positions in the English monarchy. The Marquess's uniform is adorned with various orders and decorations, including the Star and Garter, the Order of the Thistle, and the Order of the Bath. He wears the traditional robes of the Lord Great Chamberlain, which consist of a scarlet velvet doublet, white satin breeches, and a fur-trimmed mantle. The most notable feature of the costume is the golden rod, or mace, which the Lord Great Chamberlain carries as a symbol of his office. The Marquess's expression is serious and resolute, reflecting the gravity of the occasion. His piercing gaze is fixed on the viewer, adding to the sense of importance and dignity. The portrait captures a moment in history, as the Marquess played a crucial role in the coronation ceremony, which marked the beginning of a new era in British monarchy. The Marquess of Cholmondeley served as Lord Great Chamberlain until his death on February 17, 1923. This portrait provides a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of the British aristocracy and the ceremonial roles that continue to shape the monarchy today. The image is a testament to the Marquess's commitment to his duties and his place in the annals of British history.
