Doughty family, Tichbourne case
Doughty family, Tichbourne case. Katherine Doughty (1834-1906) being comforted by Lady Doughty (died 1872). Katherine was cousin to Roger Tichbourne, the heir to a large fortune and baronetcy, who was missing presumed dead after a shipwreck in 1854. In 1866, a claimant was accepted by Tichbournes mother. A failed civil case led to a criminal case in which the claimant was convicted in 1874 of perjury and falsely claiming to have seduced Katherine, and found to be Arthur Orton, son of a butcher from Wapping. Lithograph from volume 3 (1877) of the 9-volume The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D. Tichborne (1875-1880)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant lithograph captures a moment of profound sorrow and familial support within the Doughty family during the infamous Tichbourne case. The central figures in this image are Katherine Doughty, a cousin to Roger Tichbourne, and Lady Doughty, who is seen comforting her grieving relative. The Tichbourne case unfolded after Roger Tichbourne went missing and was presumed dead following a shipwreck in 1854. In 1866, an imposter claimed to be Roger Tichbourne and was accepted by his mother as such. The subsequent legal battles surrounding this claim were both civil and criminal in nature. Ultimately, the claimant was convicted of perjury and falsely claiming to have seduced Katherine Doughty. This fraudulent imposter turned out to be Arthur Orton, the son of a butcher from Wapping. The emotions conveyed through this artwork are palpable - sadness, grief, upset - as Katherine finds solace in Lady Doughty's embrace. It serves as a reminder of the psychological toll that such trials can take on individuals caught up in their web. This lithograph is part of volume three (1877) of "The Trial at Bar of Sir Roger C. D. Tichborne" which spans nine volumes chronicling one of Britain's most notorious cases from 1875-1880. Todd-White Art Photography has captured this historical moment with great sensitivity and attention to detail.
