More creepy pics of creepy 'Old Q' because if I have to spend my evening with him so do you

William, 4th Duke of Queensberry was known as 'the Old Goat of Piccadilly' because he constantly ogled women from his balcony

(Coincidentally, his home was later occupied by Lord Byron)

For readers of #HouseOfByron: Frederick Howard, 5th Earl of Carlisle, the long-awaited only son of Isabella Byron

Here at his coming-of-age in 1769, making up for his youth & relative inexperience with some really, extraordinarily large crotch tassels 🍾

Spent ALL DAY convinced I've missed a bday or other important thing. I'm 241 years too late:

#OTD 1779 was the fateful Battle of Grenada, marking the end of Admiral John Byron's career – gossips at home & abroad wrongfully accused him of cowardice, dishonour, & even insanity

For anyone reading #HouseOfByron: here is the beautiful Lady Betty Delme, daughter of Isabella Byron, by Reynolds, c1777

Her MP husband was not only disappointingly ugly but also turned out to be a philanderer, a drunk & much less rich than expected

Portrait of a disillusioned historian in quarantine, by her own mother

Truly, this is a flattering depiction

Here they both are in their younger years, in 1812 and c1815 respectively

Anyone else been blown away by photography of their 18th-century/Regency era subjects? Please share because I love it 📸
