Despite facing personal hardships, Lord Spencer remained dedicated to public service until his death in 1845. His commitment to progress is evident through various artworks like "So Much out of the Fire or The Man Wots Lost His Throne" from 1834 by John Doyle which symbolizes resilience amidst adversity.
