Percy Florence Shelley


"Sir Percy Florence Shelley, 3rd Baronet (12 November 1819-5 December 1889) was the son of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Frankenstein author, Mary Shelley. His middle name, Florence, came because he was born in Florence in Italy. Shelley moved back to England with his mother in 1822, his father having drowned off the Italian coast. He joined Harrow School in Middlesex in 1832, and went up to Trinity College, Cambridge in October 1837."

  1. That's a painting of William, Percy's first son by Mary who died at 3 years old.
