EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the elegant and influential figure of Emily Mary, Countess Cowper. The portrait, created by John Hayter in the 19th century, captures her regal aura and refined beauty. Emily Mary Lamb, born in 1787, was a prominent socialite who held great influence within fashionable London society. She married Peter Cowper, the fifth Earl Cowper, in 1805 before later marrying Henry Temple, the third Viscount Palmerston in 1839 after her first husband's passing. Known for her role as Lady Patroness of the society balls at Almacks club and as a celebrated political hostess alongside Lord Palmerston (her second husband), Countess Cowper played an essential part in shaping British politics and society during this era. In this half-length portrait print, we see Countess Cowper engrossed in reading a script. Her poised demeanor suggests intelligence and sophistication while also highlighting her love for literature and culture. Engraved by W. H. Mote with meticulous detail and precision, this artwork is now part of a private collection but remains accessible to art enthusiasts through Fine Art Finder. It serves as a testament to both Emily Mary's personal charm and significant contributions to British history as an esteemed member of high society.
