(1810-1869), English politician, son of CharlesWentworthDilke, proprietor and editor of The Athenaeum, was born in London on the 18th of February 1810, and was educated at Westminster school and Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
At the close of the exhibition he was honoured by foreign sovereigns, and the queen offered him knighthood, which, however, he did not accept; he also declined a large remuneration offered by the royal commission.
In 1853 Dilke was one of the English commissioners at the New York Industrial Exhibition, and prepared a report on it.
CharlesDilke had switched careers from art to politics, and was a leader in the radical wing of the Liberal party.
Dilke's personal papers were donated to the Bibliothèque de l'École des Beaux-Arts in honor of her friendship with Müntz.
Dilke was preceded in her gender by women like Anna Jameson (q.v.) but remains among the first women art historians and the very earliest to be concerned with primary source material as a component of art history.
