Provenance
Sotheby's, London, Property from the Muncaster Castle Collection, 9th November 1995.
Josslyn Francis Pennington, 5th Baron Muncaster, DL, JP (1834–1917) succeeded his elder brother in the barony in 1862. As this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to an automatic seat in the House of Lords. Muncaster was instead elected to the House of Commons for Cumberland West in 1872, a seat he held until 1880, and later represented Egremont from 1885 to 1892. He was also a Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace for Cumberland and served as Lord-Lieutenant of Cumberland between 1876 and 1917. In 1898 he was created Baron Muncaster, of Muncaster in the County of Cumberland, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, which gave him a seat in the House of Lords.
