Portrait of Richard Monckton Milnes, 1st Baron Houghton (1809 - 1885), politician and poet. While at Trinity College, Cambridge, Milnes joined the progressive Apostles Club, which included the poets Alfred Tennyson and Arthur Henry Hallam. Milnes entered Parliament as an MP in 1837 and was actively involved in issues of copyright and the establishment of juvenile reformatories. He was made a peer in 1863. His early poetry led many to regard him as one of the most promising writers of his generation, but he is better remembered as an influential member of literary society and as a patron of writers. He published the Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of John Keats (1848), secured a pension for Tennyson and was an early champion of the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne.

Equestrian portrait of Henry William Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey (1768 - 1854), Field Marshal and Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. As Lord Paget, Anglesey served with great distinction as cavalry commander under Sir John Moore during the retreat to Corunna in 1809, the 'Dunkirk' of the Peninsular war. He was prevented from serving under Wellington in the Peninsula by a scandal: he ran off with Wellington's brother Henry's wife Lady Charlotte Wellesley. Wellington, though, was happy to accept him as a subordinate for the Waterloo campaign, crushing a colleague who reminded him of Anglesey's reputation with: 'I'll take good care he don't run away with me: I don't care about anyone else.'
