| Summary | "Biographical Catalogue of the Portraits at Panshanger, the Seat of Earl Cowper" by Mary Louisa Boyle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a catalogue that details the portraits housed at Panshanger, providing biographical sketches of the individuals portrayed, with a particular focus on those connected to the Cowper family. The text is likely rich in historical context, making it a valuable resource for those interested in art history, nobility, and the cultural heritage of the period. The opening of this catalogue introduces the reader to the author's intent and methodology, emphasizing a personal and familial approach to the historical figures represented in the portraits. Boyle notes her preference for portraying her subjects in their private lives rather than through their public personas, aiming to create a more relatable account of their lives. She acknowledges the various sources of information she has used to compile the catalogue and expresses heartfelt gratitude towards those who contributed to her research. This sets the tone for a detailed exploration of the notable portraits and the stories behind them, highlighting the intertwined lives of the Cowper family and their historical significance.
