EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Frances Elizabeth Stapleton, 17th Baroness le Despencer, at the age of fifteen, is depicted in this beautiful steel engraving by Henry Cook after an illustration by Alfred Edward Chalon. The portrait, taken from Charles Heath's "Portraits of the Children of the Nobility," published in Longmont, London, in 1838, captures the young baroness in an elegant off-the-shoulder satin dress adorned with ribbons and lace. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her delicate features. Mary is holding a pet squirrel in one hand, adding a playful touch to the formal portrait. Mary Frances Elizabeth Stapleton was the daughter of George Howard, 6th Earl of Carlisle, and his wife, Lady Matilda Labouchere. Her siblings included the Hon. George Howard, Hon. Georgiana Howard, and Hon. John Bostock. The young baroness later married Evelyn Boscawen, 6th Viscount Falmouth, adding to the aristocratic connections of her already distinguished lineage. The portrait, a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with the aristocracy, showcases the elegance and refinement of the time. The intricate details of the dress, the delicate lace, and the playful presence of the squirrel all contribute to the captivating image of Mary Frances Elizabeth Stapleton, 17th Baroness le Despencer, at the height of her youth.
