Congreve designed the Temple with assistance from stage designers from the Theatre Royal and master engineers. It was an elaborate structure illuminated with colored lamps and decorated with gilding, festoons, and painted transparencies. Congreve had commissioned some of the nation’s best artists such as Thomas Stothard (1755 – 1834) to design and paint allegorical scenes on these ‘transparencies’, each tableau praising ‘the Triumph of England under the Regency’. When illuminated from inside it was made to revolve, so that spectators might view each side in turn.

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.

Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson (1809 - 1892), Poet Laureate. Tennyson was made a baron in 1883, the first writer to be so honoured. At this time he wrote a number of verse plays on historical themes such as Queen Mary (1875) and Becket (1884). The great poet was generally seen as being beyond criticism but Sir Henry Irving rudely complained that, 'Tennyson is a great poet, but he cannot write plays. What a pity he tries, they are the greatest rubbish!'

Terburg, Pinx. Van Somer, fec. [lower left of image.]
F. de Wit Exc. [lower centre of image.]
Mezzotint, scarce, 265 x 220mm (10½ x 8½"). Cut to image.
A man sits disconsolately at a table, absent-mindedly toying with his snuffbox, with a friend looking at him across the table and a standing figure holding a straw-covered wine bottle. Engraved by Dutch mezzotinter Jan van Somer (c.1645-99) after Gerard Ter Borch's 'Scene at an Inn' (c. 1648/50, private collection). Unusually, Van Somer also made another print of the same scene, but in reverse. It has been said of the painting from which this print derives that 'no painting in Ter Borch's oeuvre conveys with such overwhelming power the emotion of loneliness and despair'. The model for the seated figure on the right was a member of the Spanish delegation to Munster for the signing of the 1648 treaty which made the United Netherlands independent from Spain. The same sitter appears in Ter Borch's famous painting of the ratification of that treaty.

Isometrical Plan of Mr. Grainger's Proposed Concentration of the Termini of the Several Railways from London, Edinburgh, Carlisly, Shields and Sunderland, at a General Depot at Elswick.
Engraved by W. Collard.
T. Sopwith, C.E. [n.d. c.1840.]
A very rare and scarce engraving. Sheet 406 x 247mm. 16 x 9¾". Laid on separate sheet.
It was in 1839 that Mr. Richard Granger (1797-1861) the builder from Newcastle upon Tyne, known for taking on the task of building and developing Grainger Town, decided to buy the Elswick estate to the west of Newcastle with the intention of building a railway terminus. These plans never went ahead, as Grainger bankrupted himself in purchasing the land, and following his death, his debts were greater than his personal estate, so the sale of the land in the Elswick estate helped pay off these debts. Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879), also from Newcastle, was a miner and railway surveyor, writing his best-known book "Treatise on Isometrical Drawing".
