EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Thomas William Coke, the 2nd Earl of Leicester, a prominent figure in English history. Born in 1822 and passing away in 1909, Coke was not only an English landowner but also a dedicated agriculturist and countryman. At the tender age of 20, he inherited Holkham Hall, a magnificent estate located in Norfolk, England. Determined to leave his mark on this prestigious property, Coke embarked on an ambitious program of improvements. The accompanying cartoon by Spy (Leslie Ward) from Vanity Fair magazine dated August 4th, 1883 adds a touch of whimsy to this portrait. In it, we see Lord Leicester depicted with great detail and humor as he indulges in one of his favorite pastimes: smoking tobacco through a pipe. The artist's skillful use of chromolithography brings vibrancy to the image. Lord Leicester's dedication to both his estate and agricultural pursuits made him highly respected among his peers. His commitment to improving Holkham Hall solidified its reputation as one of England's most remarkable properties. This print is not just a visual representation; it encapsulates the spirit and legacy left behind by Thomas William Coke – an influential British figure whose contributions continue to be celebrated today.
