EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraved portrait captures Baroness Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts in her formal attire, as she was depicted in September 1871. Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906), an English philanthropist of great renown, is shown here in a full-length, elegant dress. Known for her generosity and charitable works, she was a significant figure in Victorian society. Born on July 17, 1814, Georgina, as she was known, was the daughter of the 1st Earl of Courtown. She came into a substantial inheritance at a young age, which she used to support various causes throughout her life. Her philanthropic efforts ranged from providing financial assistance to individuals in need, to supporting educational institutions and religious organizations. One of her most notable acts of charity was the establishment of the Bethlehem Hospital in London, which provided shelter and care for the homeless and destitute. She also supported the construction of the Anglican Cathedral in Jerusalem, and was a patron of the arts, supporting the works of many notable artists and writers. This portrait, created in 1871, provides a glimpse into the life of this remarkable woman. Her regal bearing and serious expression convey a sense of determination and focus, reflecting her dedication to her philanthropic endeavors. The intricate details of her dress, with its voluminous skirt and high collar, are a testament to the fashion of the time, while the muted tones of the engraving lend an air of sophistication and elegance to the image. Baroness Burdett-Coutts passed away on March 30, 1906, leaving behind a legacy of generosity and compassion that continues to inspire generations. This portrait serves as a reminder of her enduring impact on Victorian society and the many lives she touched through her philanthropic works.
