A copy of the 1881 William Hall, Wateridge & Owen auction catalogue is sold with the painting; together with a manuscript letter from W. Elsmere dated 25/11/1881. That letter refers to Pardon's painting of Samuel and is addressed to the original purchaser at the 10 November 1881 auction. Elsmere writes..'I am obliged by your favour of this morning, but not being too much of a judge of pictures myself, I do not feel inclined to offer a fancy price for the painting alluded to. My sole reason for wishing to possess it is that a near relative of mine sat for that picture when a child...'
James 'Canterbury' Pardon was trained at the R. A. Schools and initially exhibited at the Royal Academy from addresses in London and Canterbury where he was noted in a local Directory as 'a portrait painter and carver/gilder' of 51, St.Peter's Street, Canterbury. In about 1837 he moved to the Midlands, and in 1851 he opened a portrait studio in Shrewsbury. There he painted a number of local figures including RiceWynne, Mayor of Shrewsbury and Robert Darwin (father of Charles Darwin), then a doctor at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.
