A hard rider,

A Vanity Fair Portrait, 1898

A hard rider,

A Vanity Fair Portrait, 1898

Framed Chromolithograph by SPY (Sir Leslie Ward) picturing 'Captain' David Longfield Beatty, infamous soldier and amateur sportsman of the late Victorian period.

An Anglo-Irish horse dealer and trainer from County Wexford, Captain Beatty was considered a violent and unpleasant bully. After cuckolding a brother Officer in the 4th Hussars he was dismissed from his regiment although he continued to be referred to as 'Captain' - a rank he had never achieved and held only in an honorary capacity.

His natural son, David Richard Beatty went on to become Admiral of the Fleet and the 1st Earl Beatty, Viscount Borodale and Baron Beatty of the North Sea and Brooksby sometimes described as 'Britain's last naval hero'.

    Naturalist Rambles on the Devonshire Coast, by Philip Henry Gosse. ‘Coryne Staurdial, Noctiluca Miliaris’,’,

    Living in London, Gosse's prodigious hobby of publishing work on his observations resulted in a breakdown from overwork. He was advised to go and live in the country and moved to Devon in 1853 where he wrote 'A naturalist's rambles on the Devonshire coast' The book successfully popularised the science of marine biology, but his reputation as a serious scientist later suffered with the publication of 'Omphalo' in which he refuted developmental theory, aiming to reconcile geology with the Bible's account of creation.
