How to seymoure [see more] then we like–A Cunning Mystery
Not on view
In this satire Lady Conyngham and her son, Lord Francis Seymour hide at right, having created an apparition to frighten a Captain in the Life Guards (Horace Beauchamp Seymour, grandson of the first Marquis of Hertford). Carrying a bottle labelled "Magic Oil" and wearing a black mask, Lady Conyngham says, "I've carried the joke too far, the nerves of the most valiant are to be shaken. I solemnly swear never to practice the Art of Second Sight again." The identity of the dead figure named Curzon remains obscure.
