Lichfield was talented? Of course he was is a very special person, he was born to rule. And he could take photographs... ?
Well I'm an not too impressed by the photographs which are in the style of showing how much wealth a person owns and a beautiful woman is part of that property.
At least Paul Markham took part in the race, Lichfield was declared the winner at birth.

Your stuck in some kind of time warp Cherry. Class jealousy based on slavery and feudalism is like having a dislike of the French because of the Siege of Calais. Or holding modern Denmark responsible for Viking raiders sacking Lindisfarne in the 7th century.
Capitalism and democracy has destroyed class boundaries. In the history of man kind there has never been more social mobility. You live in a genuine meritocracy. Modern western civilisation is the fairest system yet devised by mankind. You should try being born low cast in India, or being born female in Afganistan.
Whinging pricks like you make me puke Cherry. Inequality is part of the human condition. We are not born equal. We look different, have different skills, and are born to parents that might have wildly varying resources. However our society spends a bigger percentage of its available resource on providing for the less able than any society in history. Your access to healthcare, education, democracy, justice, and freedom of expression, sets you apart from any other citizen of any other civilization ever devised. You have an equal access to these functions of modern western civilisation. They are your rights as a free citizen. Millions fought and died so that you can bitch about whatever you like without being arrested, and your response is to whitter on about class division when presented with some beautiful images.
Your a bore Cherry. An ungrateful bore. You need to wake up to the wonderful rights this society gives you instead of whinging when someone happens to get a better start in life because of the lottery of birth.
