1. Title: "Lady Roberts, Wife of Frederick Lord Roberts of Kandahar". This photograph captures Lady Roberts, the beloved wife of the renowned British military leader, Frederick Sleigh Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts of Kandahar, during the 19th century. Born as Frances Emily Jane Seymour-Conway on May 28, 1840, she was the eldest daughter of the 4th Marquess and Marchioness of Hertford. Lady Roberts' marriage to Lord Roberts in 1866 marked the beginning of an extraordinary partnership. Her unwavering support and companionship were instrumental in her husband's illustrious military career, which culminated in his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in 1885 and the title of "Lord Roberts of Kandahar." This photograph, taken during the late 19th century, reveals Lady Roberts' striking beauty and refined elegance. Her poised demeanor and captivating gaze convey a sense of strength and resilience, reflecting the unwavering support she provided her husband throughout his military campaigns. Lady Roberts' life was not confined to the sidelines of her husband's military endeavors. She was an accomplished artist and a patron of the arts, and her charitable work extended to various causes, including the establishment of the Lady Roberts Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role women played in the lives of their military husbands during the 19th century, providing emotional support, companionship, and often, significant contributions to their military campaigns. Lady Roberts' story continues to inspire generations, as a testament to the enduring power of love and partnership.
