Published by E. Sidebetham, 38, Burlington Arcade [n.d., c.1850].
Coloured lithograph, sheet 380 x 280mm. Light foxing to margins, some spotting to image.
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.

The Ottoman court harem was under the administration of Black Eunuchs and White Eunuchs. Black Eunuchs were Africans who served the concubines and officials in the Harem together with chamber maidens of low rank. The White Eunuchs were Europeans from the Balkans. They served the recruits at the Palace School and were from 1582 prohibited from entering the Harem. An important figure in the Ottoman court was the Chief Black Eunuch (Kizlar Agasi or Dar al-Saada Agasi). In control of the Harem and a network of spies, the Chief Eunuch was involved in almost every palace intrigue. From Charles Deval's 'Deux annees a Constantinople et en Moree...'.

Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour (1848 - 1930), Prime Minister and philosopher. Balfour first made his mark as a philosopher, publishing A Defence of Philosophic Doubt in 1879. He entered politics in 1874 through the patronage of his uncle, Lord Salisbury. He succeeded Salisbury as prime minister in 1902 but was unable to keep together a party divided by issues of Free Trade and Protectionism. He resigned in December 1905. During the First World War, he worked as First Lord of the Admiralty and, from 1916 to 1919, as Foreign Secretary. The Balfour Declaration of November 1917 gave British support to 'the establishment in Palestine of a home for the Jewish people'. Balfour continued in politics until the age of eighty: he had served for twenty-seven years as a member of the cabinet. The oil painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836 - 1912), exhibited 1891, is on display in the Dining Room at Bodelwyddan Castle n Denbighshire, North Wales.
