The late Duke of Richmond, K.G. - from a photography by Maull and Polyblank, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The late Duke of Richmond, K.G. - from a photography by Maull and Polyblank, 1860. The Duke of Richmond succeeded to the family honours on the 28th of August, 1819, on the death of his father, who died, while he was Governor-General in Canada, from the effects of the bite of a dog. The Duke had entered the British Army early in life as an Ensign in the 52nd Regiment...He was severely wounded in his chest by a musket-ball at the battle of Orthes. He was afterwards Aide-de-Camp to the Prince of Orange, and was with him at the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo...In politics his Grace was a supporter of the Earl of Derby and the Conservative party, and was a determined opponent to the repeal of the Com Law...He was a zealous agriculturist, and was one of the founders of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, of which society he was a trustee. He was also a princely supporter of the turf, the annual races at Goodwood Park affording scope for the display of his manly sporting taste and his generous hospitality'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
[Caption] This photograph captures the late Duke of Richmond, K.G., a prominent figure in British history, as he was portrayed by Maull and Polyblank in 1860. The Duke's life was marked by a distinguished military career and a notable political stance. Born on August 28, 1819, following the death of his father, who was the Governor-General of Canada at the time, the Duke entered the British Army at a young age, joining the 52nd Regiment as an Ensign. He saw action in the Battle of Orthes, where he was severely wounded by a musket-ball in his chest. Later, the Duke served as Aide-de-Camp to the Prince of Orange and was present at the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo. In politics, his Grace was a staunch supporter of the Conservative party and the Earl of Derby, and was a determined opponent to the repeal of the Corn Laws. A passionate agriculturist, the Duke was one of the founding members of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, serving as a trustee. He was also a generous patron of the turf, with the annual races at Goodwood Park offering a platform for the display of his manly sporting taste and hospitality. The Duke's life was filled with courage, dedication, and a commitment to his causes. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his legacy and the indelible mark he left on British history.
