Notes: VARIOUS PROPERTIES
This present caricature is of Sir Charles Robert Spencer, Viscount Althorp and 6th Earl Spencer from 1910. He was created 1st Viscount Althorp in 1905 to allow him to become Lord Chamberlain of the Household from 1905-1912. He was invested as Knight Grand Cross, Royal Victorian Order in 1911 and as Knight, Order of the Garter in 1913. Charles was the last Spencer to sit in parliament. Affectionately lampooned for his, fastidious dress, 'Bobby' occupied a number of minor Court positions but was never a political high-flyer.
Beerbohm executed several other caricatures of Lord Spencer during the early 1900s.
