Victorian Hostess & HorticulturistAn Important Collection Relating to Lady Dorothy NevillLady Dorothy ("Dorothy") Fanny Nevill (1826-1913) was one of the five children of Horatio Walpole, 3rd Earl of Orford.At the age of twenty scandal struck when she was discovered, "innocently but most imprudently," unchaperoned in a Norfolk greenhouse with George Smythe, a notorious womanizer. Rumours spread, first of a pregnancy and then of a miscarriage, but in 1847 her wealthy forty-year-old cousin Reginald Nevill rescued her - by marriage. They had six children, four of whom survived infancy.Lady Dorothy travelled extensively and cultivated a wide circle of friends - literary, artistic, political. She became a leading society hostess, her salons attracting many celebrities. Active in the Conservative party (she was a founder member of the Primrose League), she aroused Tory horror by her friendship with the Liberal Unionist leader, Joseph Chamberlain.In 1851 the Nevills acquired Dangstein, a large property near Petersfield in Sussex. Lady Dorothy turned the garden into a horticultural centre, with exotic plants kept in seventeen greenhouses. She became an authority on orchids and corresponded with William and Joseph Hooker at Kew and with Charles Darwin.Her husband died in 1878, leaving all his money to their children to curtail her spending, she moved to Stillyans near Heathfield. Towards the end of her life she wrote several volumes of memoirs, and after her death her son edited her life and letters. Her biography, Exotic Groves ,written by her kinsman Guy Nevill, was published in 1984.The Collection includes the following:Photograph albumA magnificent Volume, beautifully bound, containing photographs of Lady Dorothy's celebrated friends, in elaborate filigree frames, often with their letters or autographs on the back, and illuminated pages in manuscript. 31 x 28 cm.
