R. HENRY LABOUCHERE is the eldest son of the late John Labouchere, of Broome Park, Surrey, in the nursery of which house our first portrait represents him in the company of his toy horse. At the age of fourteen, as in our second portrait, he was a boy at Eton. In his early days Mr. Labouchere was a great traveller, and during his sojourn in the Wild West his romantic tastes and love of adventure led him to join, for a time, a tribe of Chippewa Indians, with whom he roamed over the prairies. Through the influence of his uncle, Lord Taunton, he entered the diplomatic service in 1854, and was successively Attaché at Washington, Munich, Stockholm, Frankfort, St. Petersburg, and Dresden. At the age of our third portrait Mr. Labouchere had left the service two years, and had entered Parliament as Liberal member for Windsor. In 1880 he was returned for Northampton at the head of the poll, and has sat for that borough ever since. Mr. Labouchere is proprietor and editor of Truth and part-proprietor of The Daily News, and he is noted as a writer for the same qualities that make him popular as a speaker—his vivacity of style, and quick, lively repartee.
