Edward Henry Corbould, Westminster Abbey, The Wedding

About the Item

This mid-19th-century watercolour by British artist Edward Henry Corbould (1815-1905) illustrates the impressive wedding of his good friend Henry Weigall (1829-1925) and Lady Rose Fane (1834-1921). It was presented to Weigall and remained with the family for generations. On the 15th of August 1866, Westminster Abbey was brimming with anticipation ahead of this notable event. Weigall, a portrait artist, was respected within elite circles having produced numerous portraits for the Royal Family. While his bride, Rose, was the daughter of John Fane, 11th Earl of Westmorland, and Priscilla Anne Wellesley-Pole, the niece of the Duke of Wellington. A reporter described the proceedings: “The marriage of Lady Rose Fane, only sister of the Earl of Westmorland, to Mr Henry Weigall, the eminent portrait painter, took place at St Peter’s, Westminster, on Wednesday in the presence of a large and fashionable congregation. Lady Rose left the residence of her mother, the Dowager Countess, accompanied by her noble brother, and passed into the Abbey attended by the following young ladies as bridesmaids, wearing white dresses trimmed with green - Lord Westmorland’s colours on the turf - Lady Grace Fane, Miss Thomson, Miss Alice Weigall, Miss Lowther, Miss Ada Ibbetson, and Miss Alice Bagot. The bride’s dress was of white satin, trimmed with Brussels lace, with a wreath of orange flowers. Mr Frederic Cockerell was the bride’s best man, and the bride was given away by her brother. After the ceremony the Dowager Countess of Westmorland gave a grand breakfast at her town residence, and at 2.30 Mr and Lady Rose Weigall left London for the Earl of Westmorland’s seat, Apethorpe Hall, Northamptonshire.” When he produced this exquisite piece, Corbould was employed as drawing master to the Royal Family, which involved teaching Queen Victoria’s children. The Queen herself was a keen watercolourist and probably sat with Corbould often. It’s unclear whether he was commissioned by Weigall to sketch the wedding or whether it was simply a surprise gift. Either way, it’s very likely that it hung in the family home for many decades. A remarkable memento from a special day captured by one of the finest illustrators of his generation.
