Sir Francis Molyneux and Robert Quarme: Two Prominent State Officials of the Late 18th Century This evocative image captures the distinguished figures of Sir Francis Molyneux and Robert Quarme, two prominent state officials of the late 18th century. The photograph, taken circa 1782, presents a glimpse into the opulent world of the British court and the important roles these men played within it. Sir Francis Molyneux, depicted on the left, is shown in the regal attire of a Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod. The Black Rod, an office of great antiquity, is responsible for maintaining order in the House of Lords and summoning its members to attend the monarch. Molyneux's solemn expression and impeccably dressed attire reflect the gravity and importance of his duties. Robert Quarme, the Yeoman Usher on the right, wears the livery of his office, which includes a red coat with gold lacing and a tricorn hat adorned with a white feather. Quarme's role was to assist the Gentleman Usher in maintaining order and carrying out various ceremonial duties within the House of Lords. The intricate details of their uniforms, the rich textures of their fabrics, and the elegant setting in which they are depicted all serve to transport us back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century British state officials. Sir Francis Molyneux and Robert Quarme's presence in this photograph is a testament to their significant roles in the functioning of the British government during this period.
