ETON & WINDSOR Photographers. - C.H. FETHERSTONHAUGH (compiler). ETON and ETONIANS. An album
Cecil Howard Digby FETHERSTONHAUGH (1857-1935), of Bracklyn Castle, Killucan, co. Westmeath, Ireland (compiler).
ETON and ETONIANS. - An album containing 34 carte-de-visite albumen print photographs (32 of boys or young men, one young woman and one dog).
[Eton, Windsor and elsewhere: c.1870 - 1875]. Square octavo album (5 ¾ x 4 ½ inches; 146 x 108mm.), 25 card leaves with variously shaped openings recto and verso, allowing for the display of up to fifty images, the album retailed by Parkins & Gotto, of Oxford St., London (with their gilt stamp on the front pastedown), photographers include W. Runicles of Eton; Hills & Saunders of Eton,[etc.]; Elliot & Fry of London; James Russell & Sons of Worthing; F.Raps of Coeln; and B.C. Paice of Windsor. (Some fading and spotting).
Original brown morocco, gilt tooled, gilt metal clasp. (lightly scuffed, verdigris to clasp)
Provenance: Captain Cecil Howard Digby FETHERSTONHAUGH (1857-1935, signature 'C.H. Fetherstonhaugh' on front free endpaper).
A charming record - the majority of the images appear to be of Etonians, presumably class-mates of C.H. Fethersonhaugh who was at Eton from 1870-1873. He then went on to Cambridge (Trinity) followed by the army, before inheriting Bracklyn Castle, in Ireland, from his father. The sitters are largely anonymous, but there are two exceptions: Hon. Luke White (1857-1922, later 3rd Lord Annaly), and Francis Houlton (d.1886), of Fairleigh Castle, nr Bath, have both inscribed the backs of their portraits.
[c.1870-1875]
