Nelson Testimonial.
London Pub. Dev 16 1843 by J.T. Wood, 33 Holywell Street, Strand.
Rare porcelain card. Sheet 150 x 115mm (6 x 4½").
A view of Nelson's column, surrounded by four roundel views of his greatest battles (St Vincent, Nile, Cogenhagen and Trafalgar), a depiction of HMS Victory at anchor and a scene of the Death of Nelson. As the monument was still under construction it is an artist's impression. The lions shown here were never installed: originally they were to be of granate, sculpted by John Graham Lough, but he pulled out of the commission and the bronze lions of today, designed by Sir Edwin Landseer in collaboration with Baron Marochetti, were not commissioned until 1858.

Stanfield Hall, Norfolk was the home of Isaac Jermy, Esq, who on the night of November 28th, 1848, stepped outside to smoke, unaware of a strange figure hiding in the bushes. The air was then filled with two shots, whereby he fell to the ground, mortally wounded. The others rushed out of the dining room, and with three more shots, Isaac's son, wife, and a servant fell to the ground. One of the other servants later recognised the murderer as James Blomfield Rush, the family's bailiff. Rush had reneged on previous loans and agreements with Isaac and now his major debt was due for repayment on 30 November, two days after the murders took place. Blomfield was hung for his crime on 21 April 1849.
