Lost portraits

A portrait of the 10th Earl was inherited by his descendants the Gibbon family.
Will of Arthur Augustus Gibbon (died 1907) mentions portrait of "Henry, Earl of Pembroke".
This would be "1 Lord Pembroke's Portrait" that was packed on a trip to the Continent by Arthur Gibbon in 1856.
The will here says it went to Monty Gibbon (died 1920).
Whereabouts now unknown.

Another picture of 10th Earl:
- Letter of 28 Nov 1851 from Elizabeth Montgomery after her mother's death discusses who will get "the engraving of Henry Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery". It seems she may have lost this to her illegitimate half-brother.
- She angrily says: "I have an idea that to strangers he intends passing him off as his grandfather."
