Parnell was born in Ireland in 1846.
He was elected a Member of Parliament in 1875 and visited America in 1878.
In May 1880 he was elected Chairman of the Home-Rule (for Ireland) party in the British House of Commons - a cause for which he fought with extreme vigour all his life.
He was given the Freedom of Dublin and was often called 'the uncrowned King of Ireland'.
He died on 6 October 1891.

Godden mentions that three versions are known, being -

§133: The portrait above but without the spray of shamrock across the jacket [so412 on this site].

§133a: The portrait above with an Irish harp and a spray of shamrock woven across the jacket, [so416 on this site.]

§133b: As the image above, but with the amended title printed on the card-mount THE LATE CHARLES STEWART PARNELL, M.P. [so420 on this site]. This issue, of course, dates from after his death in October 1891.

Since the publication of Godden's book, the title above has been added as the fourth title
