Excerpt from Catalogue of Pictures in the Tennant Gallery The founder of the Tennant family was Charles Tennant, who lived at Glenconnor in Ayrshire. As a close neighbour and friend of Robert Burns he is mentioned in one of his poems as "Guid auld Glen." To him were born many sons, who went to seek their fortunes in various parts of the world. Among these were Sir James Tennant, K.C.B., who commanded the Artillery at the Battle of Chillianwallah in the Sikh War, 1849, and Sir David Tennant, who was Speaker of the House of Commons at the Cape for upwards of 20 years, 1875. The most distinguished, however, was Charles, 1768-1838. For his scientific discoveries in Chemistry he was made a fellow of the Royal Society, and he built the large Chemical works at St. Rollox, near Glasgow. His son John (1796-1878), who further developed the business, was a well known and respected citizen of Glasgow. John's son, Sir Charles Tennant, who formed the collection of pictures in this Gallery, was born in 1823. During a long life of 82 years his courage and energy in many directions were remarkable. His enterprise in business and generosity of heart were the distinguishing features of his life. In a career of unusual activity he found time for the pursuit of art, politics, and sport.

The 'beauties' - women of note - who were welcomed to the National Portrait Gallery's early collection were those whose lives and portraits were recognized as significant to the 'civil, ecclesiastical and literary history of the nation'. This brief was interpreted to include figures as diverse as the devout Lady Margaret Beaufort, and the entertaining Lady Emma Hamilton. History's Beauties, the first detailed study of this collection, maps a culture of femininity that reframes the Victorian fascination with women's domestic and sentimental presence by locating it within a Parliament-centred 'national' culture.
