This 19th century Carte de Visite features Brownlow Cecil, 2nd Marquess of Exeter KG PC (1795-1867), an influential British peer, courtier, and Tory politician. Born as Lord Burghley, Cecil assumed the title of Marquess of Exeter upon the death of his father in 1804. The photograph, taken during the Victorian era, showcases the aristocrat in formal attire, exuding an air of refinement and sophistication. The Marquess of Exeter's residence, depicted in the background, is a grand architectural masterpiece that adds to the image's allure. The building, with its intricate design and imposing presence, reflects the wealth and status of its owner. The urban landscape in the background further emphasizes the sense of tradition and heritage, as well as the bustling city life of the time. Brownlow Cecil's career in politics began in 1812, when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Grimsby. He served in various government positions, including as a Lord of the Treasury and as a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury. In 1859, he was appointed as a Privy Counsellor. As a courtier, Cecil was known for his elegant manners and impeccable style, making him a popular figure at the royal court. The photograph captures the essence of this aristocratic gentleman, offering a glimpse into the world of 19th century British high society. This vintage Carte de Visite is an invaluable addition to any collection of historical portraits, cultural heritage, or urban landscapes.
