Stephen Moore, 2nd Earl of Mount Cashell — 'Ninety-one'

Spy's chromolithograph presents the Earl of Mount Cashell in strict profile, a standard device for physiognomic emphasis. The elderly Irish peer — ninety-one years old at publication, hence the caption — is rendered as a stout, slightly hunched figure in a dark frock coat and top hat, a furled umbrella dangling from one hand. The caricature's comedy is purely gerontological: the barrel torso, jutting white beard, and forward lean together make age itself the punchline. A coronet device in the upper right signals his rank. Ward's mockery is confined to the universal indignities of extreme old age dressed in Victorian gentlemen's clothes.
