Alfred Crowquill's Sketches From Jullien's Bal Masque. What Not One Kiss. Why We Both Belong To The Sea.
Alfred Crowquill, delt. et lith. M & N. Hanhart, Impt.
Published by E. Sidebetham, 38, Burlington Arcade [n.d., c.1850].
Coloured lithograph, sheet 384 x 281mm. Light foxing to margins.
Illustrations to Jullien's Bal Masque quadrille, by Alfred Henry Forrester, best known under the name of Alfred Crowquill (1804 - 1872). Louis Antoine Jullien (1812 -1860) conducted a series of winter season promenade concerts at the Covent Garden Theatre, which were highly successful; and on March 4th, 1844, the first bal-masqué given in England in the 19th century took place at Covent Garden under his auspices. In 1822 Forrester wrote for the Hive and in 1823 for the Mirror. He next applied himself to the study of drawing and modelling, as well as to wood and steel engraving. He was also the writer of burlesques, drew pantomimic extravaganzas for the pictorial papers, and exhibited pen-and-ink sketches in the miniature room of the Royal Academy in 1845 and 1846. For a time he contributed sketches to ‘Punch,' where his work will be found in vols. ii. iii. and iv., and then went over to the ‘Illustrated London News' as a member of the literary and pictorial staff. As a writer and illustrator of his own writings he was very popular; upwards of twenty works came from his pen, many of them being children's books. For some years the London pantomimes were indebted to him for designs, devices, and effects. In 1851 he modelled a statuette of the Duke of Wellington, which he produced a fortnight before the duke's death and presented to Queen Victoria and the allied sovereigns. At the time when he originally started as an artist there was not much competition, and he consequently found constant work. His works have enjoyed a considerable amount of popularity.

William Wilberforce (1759 - 1833) was an evangelical Christian and social reformer who dedicated himself to the 'suppression of the Slave Trade and the reformation of manners'. He entered Parliament in 1780 as a Tory MP and was the Parliamentary leader of the Abolition movement from 1787. After years of campaigning, Wilberforce's bill to end Britain's part in slave trading was passed to a standing ovation in 1807. Thomas Clarkson (1760 - 1846) was one of the early British abolitionists, and interested Wilberforce in the issue. A further act of 1833 provided for the emancipation of slaves in British colonies.
