"Come along, this way now, are you coming?" from the passage I was taken to a corridor, which is fitted up with little watch-box-like-stalls. I was ordered in a very gruff manner to enter one of them; and then a large skip was brought and placed before me, with the order to strip. "Now, take all your clothes off"... I was taken naked on the cold flags, barefoot, and put under a strong light to undergo a rigid examination, and a graphic portrait taken; during the airy performance on the cold flags, and standing up, it becomes rather sensational. He whirled me round, then back again, up and down with a keen eye he skirres me... Next a large rug was thrown over me, there conducted to another apartment and invited to take a bath...', 31 pages written to rectos only, one pen & ink and watercolour illustration of Youdan coat of arms, some browning, contemporary roan-backed boards, heavily rubbed, small 4to, plus six related family documents,three Victorian family bibles (Grimes), three early 20th-century family photographs, and a collection of over 30 naïve art works, mostly signed or initialled by John Hall Youdan, some dated 1850s/1870s, subjects including views and natural history, the majority watercolour on paper, plus 6 oils on canvas and board, various sizesThomas and John Youdan had three other brothers, one of whom was George who had a daughter called Harriet. For reasons unknown Harriet lived with Thomas and when he died he left his extensive estate to Harriet in 1877. Harriett decided to erect a monument to her uncle and benefactor, employing the inscription: 'Erected by his adopted daughter, Harriette Youdan', and it was this line that led her uncle John to chisel out the words 'adopted daughter'. Thomas Youdan was a theatre proprietor in Sheffield and is best known for sponsoring the Youdan Cup, the first ever competition in the history of association football. (approx. 50)
