Thus provided, I climbed the wall with much less risk to my neck than via the lamp iron''.

" Walter Gilbey" Signature facsimile in margin. Published Jany 1st 1892 by J. & W. Vokins 14 & 16 Gt. Portland Str. London. W.
Etching 405 x 445mm.
Sir Walter Gilbey [1831 - 1914] was an English agriculturist, wine-merchant and philanthropist. After serving in the Crimea he started a business at the Pantheon on Oxford Street importing Wines from South Africa. This grew and expanded allowing him the to pursue being a sportsman as well as a lover of horses, as referenced here by the painting on the wall and the copy of the Agricultural Gazette he reads. His legacy is remembered in the Gilbey Gallery at Bishop's Stortford's Museum. Sir William Quiller Orchardson (1835 - April 13, 1910) was a British painter. Orchardson was born in Edinburgh, 'Orchardson's wider popularity dates from 1881. To that year's Academy he sent the large 'On Board the Bellerophon,' which now hangs in the Tate Gallery. Its success with the public was great and instantaneous, and for ten or twelve years Orchardson's work was more eagerly looked for at the Academy than that of any one else…..The portrait of 'Sir Walter Gilbey' may fairly be called the painter's masterpiece, in this branch of art.'

Lithographed by Miss H. Whalley [after Michael Keeling]. W. Lake, Printer, 50 Old Bailey, London.
[n.d., c.1830.]
Rare lithograph on chine collé. 275 x 125mm (10¾ x 5"). Packing paper with scuff.
William Horton (1750-1832) was one of the first to manufacture shoes on a large scale. In a warehouse on Mill Street (at the rear of his home at Chetwynd House) workers would cut out the leather parts of the shoe; outworkers would collect these shoe parts, assemble them in their own homes or workshops, and return the completed shoes to the warehouse to be paid and to collect more leather. At one time he employed over 1,000 workers, but the downturn caused by the Napoleonic Wars reduced the number to 300-400 by 1813. He was Lieutenant Colonel in the local volunteer militia, became Mayor of Stafford in 1804, and issued token coinage under his name between 1798 and 1803. Richard Brinsley Sheridan the playwright and local was a close friend.

[British, c.1740.]
Rare engraving, sheet 315 x 210mm. 12½ x 8¼". Trimmed to image.
Portrait in oval frame of Laurence Howell (c.1664 - 1720), nonjuring Church of England clergyman. According to DNB "There is an engraving which professes to be a portrait of him, but Noble says the plate was altered from a portrait of Robert Newton, D.D." The nonjuring schism was a split in the Church of England in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, over whether William of Orange and his wife Mary could legally be recognised as King and Queen of England. Many of the Anglican clergy felt legally bound by their previous oaths of allegiance to James II and, though they could accept William as Regent, they could not accept him as king. It was not necessarily a split on matters of religious doctrine, but more of a political issue and a matter of conscience, though most of the nonjurors were high church Anglicans. The nonjurors thus supported Jacobitism, although they generally did not actively support the Jacobite rebellions in 1715 or 1745. Howell wrote a pamphlet for private circulation entitled ‘The Case of Schism in the Church of England truly stated.’ In this seditious work George I was denounced as a usurper, and all that had been done in the church, subsequently to Archbishop Sancroft's deprivation, was condemned as illegal and uncanonical. Howell was arrested at his house in Bull Head Court, Jewin Street, and about a thousand copies of the pamphlet were seized there. Howell was tried at the Old Bailey on 28 Feb. 1716-17 before the lord mayor and Justices Powys and Dormer. The jury found him guilty, and two days afterwards he was sentenced to pay a fine of 500l., to be imprisoned for three years without bail, to find four sureties of 500l. each, and himself to be bound in 1,000l. for his good behaviour during life, and to be twice whipped. On his hotly protesting against the last indignity on the ground that he was a clergyman, the court answered that he was a disgrace to his cloth, and that his ordination by the so-called bishop of Thetford was illegal. By the court's direction the common executioner there and then roughly pulled his gown off his back. A few days later, on his humble petition to the king, the corporal punishment was remitted. He died in Newgate on 19 July 1720. After James Fellowes (Fellows) (fl.1710 - 1751).

William Huntington (1745 - 1813), coal heaver and eccentric preacher. Huntington, the son of an agricultural labourer, worked in a variety of jobs including hearse driver and gardener. In 1773, he experienced a vision in which Christ appeared to him and assured him he was 'brought under the covenant love of God's elect'. He began preaching, although his views were often controversial. His doctrine was Calvinism flavoured with antinomianism, his method of interpreting scripture wholly arbitrary. He combined preaching with coal heaving and other casual work such as cobbling. Huntington had another vision in 1782, telling him to 'prophesy upon the thick boughs'. He moved to London and raised the capital to build Providence Chapel in Titchfield Street. His ministry flourished: his preaching attracted many rich and fashionable members of society and he officiated for more than a quarter of a century. A very scarce portrait, after Thomas Overton (fl.1818 - 1838), miniature painter.
