The late Duke of Rutland, K.G. - from the portrait by G. Sanders, 1857. Portrait of John Manners, 5th Duke of Rutland, ...copied from the whole-length...engraved by John Lucas and Samuel Cousins, in 1829, from the picture painted by George Sanders. The Duke is represented in the superb costume worn by his Grace at the coronation of George IV..."There was that in him which would have given dignity to the most humble, as it threw a halo round the very lofty position to which, in the order of Providence, he was born. He respected himself, but scorned no one; and all who knew him justly loved him. Intense in his affections and firm in his principles, he was in his domestic relations a model, in his friendships unfaltering, and in his patriotism, if not unequalled, at least unsurpassed, by any nobleman of his day". From "Illustrated London News", 1857

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the late Duke of Rutland, John Henry Manners (1785-1857), in an elegant and dignified pose, as depicted in George Sanders' painting from 1857. The Duke is shown wearing the magnificent costume he donned at the coronation of King George IV, which included a grand cloak, ruff, and other ornate apparel typical of the aristocracy of the time. The Duke of Rutland was not only a prominent landowner and aristocrat, but also a respected and beloved figure. As described in the Illustrated London News in 1857, "There was that in him which would have given dignity to the most humble, as it threw a halo round the very lofty position to which, in the order of Providence, he was born." His intense affections and firm principles made him a model in his domestic relations, an unfaltering friend, and a patriot whose love for his country was unsurpassed by any nobleman of his day. This portrait, engraved by John Lucas and Samuel Cousins in 1829, is a beautiful testament to the Duke's noble character and the grandeur of the era in which he lived. The intricate details of his clothing and the rich textures of the wood engraving add to the timeless beauty and historical significance of the image.
