The late Lord Wharncliffe,1845. Creator: Unknown.

The late Lord Wharncliffe, 1845. Portrait of British soldier and politician James Stuart-Wortley, 1st Baron Wharncliffe. He served as M.P. for the rotten borough Bossiney, in Cornwall, and in 1834 was appointed Lord Privy Seal. 'The distinguished earthly career of Lord Wharncliffe was rather suddenly brought to a termination. The noble Lord, who enjoyed a robust and vigorous old age, and who had, though seventy, all the appearance of middle life, was taken ill about a week before his death; early on Thursday he felt better, but later on that day he became insensible, and expired the following morning...The proximate cause of this fatal result was an effusion of blood or serum on the brain'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
