Sir Percy Egerton Herbert (1822-1876) was a British Army officer and politician. He served in Crimea at the Battle of the Alma and the siege of Sevastopol and the Battle of Inkerman. He was made aide-de-camp to Queen Victoria, a Companion of the Order of the Bath and a colonel for his services in the Crimean War. He also received knighthoods from the Turkish, Sardinian and French governments. In 1858 he was made Lieutenant-Colonel and commanded regiments in Rohilkhand, Cawnpore and Fatehpur. Two years later he became deputy quartermaster-general at the Horse Guards and entered parliament in 1865 as Conservative MP for South Shropshire. By 1869 he had progressed further through the ranks and was made Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath.

[Philip Herbert, first earl of Montgomery and fourth earl of Pembroke]
[George Perfect Harding, c.1801]
Watercolour and wash, oval, 205 x 165mm (8 x 6½"). Tipped into album sheet with hand-drawn border.
Philip Herbert, first earl of Montgomery and fourth earl of Pembroke (1584-1650), courtier and politician. As a young man Pembroke was a favourite of James I. He fared less well under Charles I (whose queen Henrietta Maria disliked him), and this was no doubt a factor (along with his attachment to protestantism) in Pembroke's allegiance to parliament during the civil war. Pembroke was a great patron of the arts, who first commissioned the De Caus brothers to design a new palace for him at Wilton, and then (after that burnt down in 1647) enlisted Inigo Jones and John Webb to design a new house in the Palladian style. He was also a great patron of Van Dyck, whose portrait this watercolour is derived from, via Wenceslaus Hollar's etching. Watercolour by George Perfect Harding (1779/80-1853), miniature painter. Harding devoted himself to producing minute copies in watercolour of works of historical and antiquarian interest. Examples of his work are in several major British institutions.
For Hollar's etching after van Dyck see ref. 40153.
