Emily Rumbold, Baroness Delmar was born in1790. She did die in 1861.
I have her portrait, a painting which probably is the source of the lithograph.

She adopted her niece Emily Rumbold (1824-1904) (m. Cavendish, divorced, then m. Rochefoucauld), who was the great-great-grandmother of my husband (Xavier Puslowski).
