The Ghost.
The Ghost.
Designed & Published by G. Rowe [n.d., c.1839]
Rare lithograph, printed area250 x 295mm (9¾ x 11½"). Repaired tear to margins.
Four bankers sit at a table making an inventory of the complex assets of the 'ghost' of the title, who, to make things more complicated, hovers above the company, gleefully distributing codicils. One of these is in the includes the text 'Corporation of Gloucester' and 'Jam. Wood'. The artist and lithograph George Rowe (1796-1864) lived in Cheltenham and depicted sights and people of local interest. The 'ghost' in question here is probably James Wood (1756-1836), who ran Gloucester Old Bank, one of the earliest private banks in England. After Wood's death it was absorbed by the County of Gloucestershire Banking Company. Rowe also made a print of Gloucester Old Bank.
For Rowe's print of Gloucester Old Bank see ref. 17546.
