John B. Gough [facsimile signature].
Painted by Daniel Macnee, S.R.A. Engraved by Edward Burton 1855. Edinburgh. Printed by Macglashon & Wilding.
Published by the Scottish Temperance League, 108 Hope Street, Glasgow.
Scarce mezzotint, 555 x 375mm (21¾ x 14¾"). Narrow margins.
A full length portrait of American Temperance orator John Bartholomew Gough (1817-86), pointing at a water glass on a table, arm theatrically thrown across his chest. Gough was born in Kent but was sent to America aged twelve. He became a drunk but managed to redeem himself. Of a theatrical bent, he began earning money from entertaining audiences with stories of his experiences of the evils of drink, becoming popular. The portrait was painted during Gough's first return to England (1853-5), invited by the London Temperance League, during which time he associated with the artist and abstainer George Cruikshank and addressed the Oxford Union.
Ex: collection of The Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd.
