[Anthony Maddox.] To long, unjust to our own country's cause, / On foreigners we wasted our applause, / On home-bred merit seldom known to smile, / Nor praise the product of our Native Isle. / But now each artist from abroad must yield, / And Mahomet to Maddox quits the field, / Who's form'd alike t'astonish & to please, / And adds to matchless skill a gracefull ease, / The sweetly smiling fair in crowds appear, / And love that art, they used to view with fear.

A three-quarter length portrait of the entertainer Anthony Maddox, wearing a rich suit with an emboidered waistcoat, holding a straw. Maddox was a successful slack-wire acrobat: his signature trick was standing on the wire and passing the straw from his foot to his mouth, accounting for its inclusion here. He drowned in 1758 when 'The Dublin Trader' was wrecked off the Scottish coast en route to Dublin, along with his travelling companion, actor Theophilus Cibber, and Edward, fifth Earl of Drogheda..

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