EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Lady Susan O'Brien, née Strangeways, is depicted in elegant attire, seated on a plush chair with her beloved dog at her feet. Born in 1744, Lady Susan was the daughter of the first Earl of Ilchester, making her part of the esteemed British nobility. Her marriage to the renowned Irish actor, William O'Brien, added an air of glamour and intrigue to her life. The image captures Lady Susan in her prime, with her striking features and poised demeanor. Her dress, adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, reflects the opulence of the time. The presence of her dog, a loyal companion, adds a touch of warmth and affection to the portrait. Lady Susan's lineage can be traced back to the year 1613, when her great-great-grandfather, John Strangeways, was created the first Earl of Ilchester. Her connection to such a distinguished family history further emphasizes her status and importance in 18th century British society. Despite her privileged background, Lady Susan's life was not without challenges. Her marriage to William O'Brien, who was known for his turbulent personal life and financial difficulties, was a source of controversy. However, their union produced several children, including the famous actress Fanny Kemble, who went on to achieve great success on the London stage. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the life of a fascinating historical figure, offering a glimpse into the world of the British aristocracy during the 18th century. The image of Lady Susan O'Brien, with her dog at her side, serves as a reminder of the complexities and intrigues of the past.
