William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett Burdett-Coutts (1851-1921): The Baroness's Husband This photograph captures William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett Burdett-Coutts, an American-born British Conservative politician, in a rare moment of leisure. Born in New York City in 1851, Burdett-Coutts moved to England as a young man and later became a naturalized British subject. He married the renowned philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts, 1st Baroness Burdett-Coutts, in 1871. Their union was a significant social event, as Angela was one of the wealthiest women in England at the time. In this image, Burdett-Coutts is seen in a casual setting, smoking a cigarette while wearing a suit and tie. The photograph, taken during the late Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the private life of a prominent political figure. Burdett-Coutts served as a Member of Parliament for various constituencies, including Westminster St. George's and Wimbledon, from 1885 to 1918. He was a staunch Conservative and a loyal supporter of the party, often advocating for social reforms and imperial expansion. Despite his political accomplishments, Burdett-Coutts is perhaps best known for his marriage to Angela Burdett-Coutts, who was famous for her philanthropic endeavors. Together, they hosted lavish charity events and supported various causes, including the founding of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The couple's partnership was a testament to their shared commitment to making a positive impact on society. This photograph of William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett Burdett-Coutts provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a prominent British politician during the late Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the complexities and nuances of historical figures, revealing both their public and private personas.
