[Scrap album sheets relating to Edward George Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby.]
[Items dated 1833 - 1869.]
4pp. scrap album pages, containing; envelope addessed to Coutts & Co, signed; printed sheet reading 'I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant' signed 'Governor of [?] 'Stanley'; wood-engraved portrait; newspaper obituary; wood-engraved portrait of his son and succesor as Earl of Derby, E.H.

Edward George Geoffrey Smith-Stanley (1799-1869), 14th Earl of Derby, three-times Prime Minister and the longest-serving party leader in modern British politics. Unveiling his statue on Parliament Square in 1874, Disraeli summarised his achievement: 'he abolished slavery, he educated Ireland, he reformed parliament', however, as later historians of Conservatism have focussed on Peel and Disraeli, Derby has been comparatively neglected.

Famous view of Smithfields, the famous meat market in London. Although it was used as an animal market and a place for public executions for hundreds of years previously, in 1638 the City of London Corporation established a cattle market here. At the time it was just outside the City Walls, but as can be seen in this view of 1811, over time the city spread up around it. It was a smelly, noisy place and there were frequent complaints of drunken herdsmen and unruly cattle on the way to Smithfields.

Lithograph, proof before letters. Printed area 220 x 185mm (8¾ x 7¼"), with large margins.
A Dutchman in rustic dress, sitting in a window, glancing over his shoulder while holding a pipe and tankard, after Adriaen van Ostade (1610-85). Adam Friedel (1780- death date unknown) was a Danish artist, printmaker and publisher who, after serving in the Napoleonic wars, voluntarily joined the Greek army at the start of the Greek War of Independence, fashioning himself as Danish nobility. He was exposed by a real noble who proved his backstory to be a lie. After spending a year in Egypt he took refuge in London in 1824 where he opened a lithographer's shop. Between 1825 and 1826 Friedel printed and published, both in Paris and London, twenty-four lithographs with portraits of politicians and prominent military figures of the Greek War of Independence. He had drawn the portraits himself, in most cases from nature, while J. Bouvier coloured and lithographed these images. The series was a success and he was awarded for his contributions to the Greek Struggle for Independence with two decorations. For health reasons he travelled around a lot. He travelled to Smyrna and taught at a Greek school. He stayed at the Ottoman Capital during the Crimean War and painted several portraits of various politicians. In 1865 he asked for a pension for his services to Greece however little is known about what happened to him after that and his place and date of death is unknown.
