Fur Trimmed Cloak Philanthropist
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Talbot, the 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, in an engraved portrait by J. Morrison from the esteemed National Portrait Gallery. Published around 1835, this lithograph captures the essence of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on history. John Talbot was not only a prominent member of the aristocracy but also a devout Roman Catholic layman and philanthropist. His passion for Gothic revival architecture led him to commission renowned architect Augustus Pugin to build Alton Towers in Staffordshire, which stands as a testament to his patronage. In this half-length portrait, Talbot exudes an air of sophistication and authority. He is depicted wearing a fur-trimmed cloak that adds regal elegance to his appearance. The Victorian era aesthetic further enhances the grandeur associated with individuals of noble birth during this period. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the presence and influence of one man's legacy. This photograph serves as both a visual tribute and historical documentation of John Talbot's significant contributions to society.
