AHT. 1900. [Astley Herbert Terry.]
Signed watercolour. Sheet: 175 x 250mm (7 x 9¾''). Mounted on board.
"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.

Engraving. Sheet 175 x 120mm (6¾ x 4¾"). Trimmed. Vertical crease.
Elizabeth Canning (1734-73), an 18-year-old London maidservant, claimed to have been kidnapped on New Year's Day and held for a month in a brothel in Enfield. She accused `Mother Wells', the madam of the establishment, of trying to force her to become a prostitute. A hideous gypsy crone staying in the house, Mary Squires, cut off the girl's stays (worth 10 shillings), and Elizabeth was imprisoned in an attic with only a few crusts of bread and a jug of water to live on. On January 29th she escaped through a window and walked all the way back to her mother's house in the City. Squires and Wells were apprehended, and tried at the Old Bailey; the former was condemned to be hanged, and the latter was burned in the hand and imprisoned. However opinion turned against Canning and new evidence led her to be charged with perjury and transported for seven years.

Elizabeth Canning.
[n.d. c.1755.]
Engraving. Sheet 130 x 100mm (5 x 4"). Trimmed, mounted in album paper.
Elizabeth Canning (1734-73), an 18-year-old London maidservant, claimed to have been kidnapped on New Year's Day 1753 and held for a month in a brothel in Enfield. She accused `Mother Wells', the madam of the establishment, of trying to force her to become a prostitute. A hideous gypsy crone staying in the house, Mary Squires, cut off the girl's stays (worth 10 shillings), and Elizabeth was imprisoned in an attic with only a few crusts of bread and a jug of water to live on. On January 29th she escaped through a window and walked all the way back to her mother's house in the City. Squires and Wells were apprehended, and tried at the Old Bailey; the former was condemned to be hanged, and the latter was burned in the hand and imprisoned. However opinion turned against Canning and new evidence led her to be charged with perjury and transported for seven years.
