Regency Teenagers; Flirting or Philosophising?

In the early 19th C, the three children of Robert Were Fox II FRS, Anne-Maria, Barclay and Caroline were encouraged to keep and share their journals. 

Caroline’s, severely edited, was published in 1882, 11 years after her death. Unhappily for us, her original volumes and those of Anna Maria were burnt after Anna Maria’s death in 1897. 

However, Barclay’s journals survived and were published in 1979. 

Recently, a 19th c. ‘In Memoriam’ photo album came to light in Antwerp which featured a rare image of Caroline painted by Samuel Laurence and is the starting point of this investigative talk.
