Photographs to accompany the papers relating to the Crimean Testimonial, dated August 26, 1862.
Four rare photographs in card booklet with title and list of photos. Largest photograph 230 x 185mm (9 x 7¼"). Some wear.
A full set of photographs issued to soldiers of the Royal Artillery to raise money for the Crimean Memorial Windows in St George's Garrison Church, Woolwich. The photos are the new obelisk dedicated to the fallen of the Crimean War, a sketch of the proposed interior and two sketches of proposed stain glass windows. A contemporary source noted that 'as the expense of supplying photographs to every subscriber would be very considerable, a limited number only has been struck off, which will be sent to Stations, at which subscribers will have the opportunity of seeing them'. St George's Garrison Church was destroyed by a V1 in 1944. Even as a ruin the building was listed in 1973 for its architectural merits, especially its polychromatic Victorian brick, and a canopy roof has been build over the top.

Recollections of the Emperor Napoleon, during the first three years of his captivity on the island of St. Helena: including the time of his residence at her father's house, ''The Briars''. By Mrs. Abell.
London: John Murray, Albemarle Street. 1844.
First edition. 8vo, publisher's cloth, gilt-illustrated on front board, blind stamp illustration on back board; illus. title, pp. xii + 244 + 16 (publisher's ads); lithographic frontispiece and five wood-engraved plates, as called for on the 'directions' slip. Spine faded, inner hinges strained, frontis. loose, some foxing throughout.
The remarkable story of the friendship between Napoleon and thirteen-years old Lucia Elizabeth "Betsy" Balcombe (1802-71), daughter of the Superintendent of Public Sales for the East India Company on St Helena and owner of 'The Briars', Napoleon's residence before Longwood was ready. She helped him learn English and kept him amused in exile and he allowed her to call him 'Boney'. Their relationship caused the governor much consternation: he suspected her of smuggling secret messages out of Longwood House. In 1818 the family left St Helena (possibly recalled because of this friendship) and Betsy married Edward Abell in 1821.
