These illustrations are taken from book The Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, K.K., And His Times. 1883.

He was the paternal grandfather of Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Marlborough was born at Garboldisham Hall, Norfolk, the eldest son of George Spencer-Churchill, 6th Duke of Marlborough and Lady Jane Stewart, daughter of Admiral George Stewart, 8th Earl of Galloway. He was educated at Eton and Oriel College, Oxford.
