The late Duke of Rutland, K.G. - from the portrait by G. Sanders, 1857. Portrait of John Manners, 5th Duke of Rutland, '...copied from the whole-length...engraved by John Lucas and Samuel Cousins, in 1829, from the picture painted by George Sanders. The Duke is represented in the superb costume worn by his Grace at the coronation of George IV..."There was that in him which would have given dignity to the most humble, as it threw a halo round the very lofty position to which, in the order of Providence, he was born. He respected himself, but scorned no one; and all who knew him justly loved him. Intense in his affections and firm in his principles, he was in his domestic relations a model, in his friendships unfaltering, and in his patriotism, if not unequalled, at least unsurpassed, by any nobleman of his day".' From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
