[Jabez Spencer Balfour] Work for the Girl Flogger. Truth Christmas Number, December 25, 1893.
FCG.
Rare colour-printed wood-engraving. Sheet 320 x 210mm (12½ x 8¼").
A satire on the fall of the Liberator Building Society due to massive fraud, with the main perpetrator, Jabez Spencer Balfour (M.P. for Burnley), being flogged with a cat o' nine tails. Two of his conspirators, solicitor H.G. Wright and contractor J.W. Hobbs, watch from prison cells. Balfour (1843-1916) built up the largest building society in the country, with mostly non-conformist investors. However he was lending society funds to property companies to buy properties owned by him. When the swindle was discovered his businesses collapsed owing over £7 million (about £500 million today). However at the time of this satire he was not in custody, but in hiding in Argentina with his mistress. However in just over a year he was tracked down by Inspector Frank Froest of Scotland Yard, kidnapped, brought back to England and sentenced to 14 years hard labour, most of which he served in Portland Prison. 'The Truth' was a newspaper

"Denton Grange" ran aground before Christmas 1899. A watercolour by Lieutenant Astley Herbert Terry (1866 - after 1937). The son of Major General Astley Fellows Terry, the artist served with both the Army Service Corps and the 60th Rifles. His posting to Sierra Leone coincides with the Second Boer War, so his duties would have been to provide for the troops en route to South Africa. He was promoted to major at the time of his departure, which was probably to the Cape: a 'Major Terry' of the 60th Rifles is recorded as participating in the war. In the 1911 census Terry was recorded as living in Kensington. In 1937 Colonel Astley Herbert Terry was installed as Commander of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, which is the last reference to him we can trace.

[n.d. c.1820] London, Pubd. by Thos. Mc.Lean, 26, Haymarket.
Coloured etching. 349 x 254mm. 13¾" x 10".
Theodore Lane (1800-1828), was apprenticed to the miniature painter John Barrow, with whom he studied watercolour portraits and miniatures, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1819. His real talent, however, lay in his depiction of humorous subjects; a series of thirty-six subjects designed and etched by him, entitled The Life of an Actor, was published in 1825. Lane also etched a number of sets of satirical and comic prints of sporting and social life, and he became well-known for his caricatures of George IV and Queen Caroline. He turned to oil painting in 1825, and within two years was exhibiting work at the Royal Academy. Lane died at the young age of twenty-eight when he fell through a skylight.

A fully laden Royal Mail coach struggling through a snow drift with new horses, leaving the previous six to be recovered from deep snow. One of a scarce set of four winter coaching scenes, the others being: "The Liverpool Mail in a Snow-Drift"; "The Birmingham Mail Fast in the Snow"; and ''Louth Mail Stop by the Snow''. The winter of 1836 was particularly long and harsh, lasting from October to April 1837. A snowstorm across southern England began on Christmas Eve, mixed with high winds. A built-up of snow on the South Downs caused an avalanche to crash onto Lewes in Sussex on the 27th December, killing eight people.

[n.d. c.1908.]
Etching. Plate 110 x 110mm. 4¼ x 4¼".
This etching is one of the very few produced over four years by the Detmold twins for distribution at Christmas. This impression is double initalled for both brothers and signed in pencil by Edward. The brothers' individual monograms appear upper left and right in the etching. Edward supervised and edition of the etchings in a very limited number of proofs in 1920. An Eagle with wings spread stands on a branch, below is a bag with 'amitié ' written on it. Edward Julius Detmold (1883-1957) was twin brother to Charles Maurice Detmold (1883-1908). The pair were among the artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. They worked together making sketches at the Zoological Gardens and exhibited together from the age of fourteen. After the death of Charles in 1908, Edward became one of the best Edwardian animal illustrators, known for his subtle placement of animals within their natural environment.

A Christmas Fire-Side. Intended as a present to the rising generation. HB Sketches 236.
HB [John Doyle]. A. Ducote's Lithography. 70 St. Martins Lane.
Published by Tho.s Mc.Lean, 26, Haymarket, June 8th 1833.
Lithograph. Size: 370 x 280mm. (14½ x 11").
Title followed by: "And can I ever cease to be / Affectionate and kind to Thee / Who wast so very kind to me / My Mother". About this period the newspapers informed the public that Lord Brougham was paying a visit to his mother at Brougham-hall, and gave some particulars of the domestic affairs of his Lordship, with anecdotes of his venerable parent. From these, H.B. has been able to sketch the scene, the primitive simplicity of which has suggested the quotation from the well-known poem of "My Mother."
