Photograph of a full length portrait of Frederick John William Lambart, 8th Earl of the County of Cavan standing, facing the camera. He holds a book in front of his stomach with both hands.
There is no title for Kilcardie in Burke's Peerage. The sitter is therefore likely to be J.W. Lambart, Viscount Kilcoursie and 8th Earl Cavan.
