Lord Gerard, 1876. Creator: Unknown
Lord Gerard, 1876. The Right Hon. Robert Tolver Gerard, who by recent creation has become Baron Gerard of Byrn, in the county palatine of Lancaster, is the representative of an old Lancashire Roman Catholic family, one of whose ancestors was created a Baronet on the day of the first institution of the order in 1611...He entered the [British] Army in 1837, became Lieutenant-Colonel of the Lancashire Yeomanry in 1855, and was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Queen in 1869. He does not appear to have taken any very active part in public life beyond his own county and district, and his peerage would seem to have been bestowed on account of personal worth and his great territorial position'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to 1876, features The Right Hon. Robert Tolver Gerard, who was recently created Baron Gerard of Byrn in the county palatine of Lancaster. Hailing from an ancient Lancashire Roman Catholic family, one of whose ancestors was knighted in 1611, Gerard entered the British Army in 1837 and rose through the ranks to become Lieutenant-Colonel of the Lancashire Yeomanry in 1855. In 1869, he was appointed Aide-de-Camp to the Queen. Gerard did not actively participate in public life beyond his own county and district, and his peerage was bestowed upon him due to his personal worth and significant territorial position. The aristocrat, with his distinguished mutton chop sideburns and sideboards, exudes an air of authority and elegance. His facial hair, a popular style during the Victorian era, adds to his regal presence. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1876, offers a glimpse into the life of a nobleman and military officer of the time. The engraved image, with its intricate details, showcases the artistry of the era and serves as a testament to the rich history of the British nobility and armed forces.
