Framed Prints
Framed Print of The late Hon. Grantley F. Berkeley, 1881. Creator: Unknown
The late Hon. Grantley F. Berkeley, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. H. Webster...which must have been made at least thirty years ago...the fifth Earl's first alleged marriage to [Miss Mary Cole], in 1785, was held by the House of Lords not to be regular, so that the four elder sons, born previously to her second marriage to the Earl in 1796, were pronounced illegitimate...The fifth son, but first of those reckoned legitimate, is the present Earl of Berkeley, the Right Hon. Thomas Morton Fitzhardinge Berkeley...[who] never married, so that his next brother, the late Hon. Grantley Berkeley, was heir presumptive to the earldom...This extraordinary family history was at one period much discussed and talked of, as the late Mr. Grantley Berkeley had a standing quarrel with his elder brothers about it, and the affair became a social scandal when he wrote a novel called "Berkeley Castle, " to express his personal feelings...Besides many contributions to periodical literature upon sporting subjects, he wrote [books including] "Fact against Fiction: the Habits and Treatment of Animals practically considered: Hydrophobia and Distempers, with some remarks on Darwin." He had been a master of stag and fox hounds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
