Alexander Bassano 
Lady Dunlo, Belle Bilton, actress & vocalist 
1890 (ca) 
  
Cabinet card 
Private collection of T. Max Hochstetler 
 
LL/16493 
  
Belle Bilton, "Lady Dunlo" was the wife of the 5th Earl of Clancarty & Viscount of Dunlo, William Frederick LePoer Trench.
 
The cabinet card image of Lady Dunlo reflects how the photographer used bearskin as backdrop to add soft texture for lighting the model.
 
The National Portrait Gallery (London, UK) collection has a wonderful image of Lady Dunlo taken by Bassano, when she attended the wedding of Edward VII. She may have been one of the bridesmaids or an attendant to new queen.
