Thomas Farrell, from Dublin via Holyhead and London to Paris and back, from 20 May to 19 June 1822.The writer gives details of their route, accommodation, meals and entertainments. They see all the main sights, including the Invalids (no tomb of Napoleon there yet), the Louvre ("statues well worth seeing but rather naked"), the botanical Gardens ("there were several matters unfit for women to see"), and many others. They see the King and visit some Irish acquaintances. There are useful pieces of advice and interesting observations ("I found the people in Paris perfectly hones... The women in France are not in general so handsome as those in England, a few excepted, but they are less subject to vice"). On the return journey, they find that "Brighton is a beautiful town and does honour to its inhabitants, no beggars, perfectly clean."A fascinating document; the handwriting is not easy to read, but the effort is well worth while. As a m/ss, w.a.f. (1)

J Hervey, in the Manner of Peter Brown (British, fl. circa 1758-1799) A Jacobean or Aztec Lily (Sprekelia formosissima) signed and dated indistinctly lower right "J. Hervey (?) 179(6) (?)" gouache on vellum, trimmed; in a rosewood frame 26 x 20.50cm (10 x 8in) Other Notes: This botanical study of an Aztec Lily, a species native to Central America, appears to have been copied after the original watercolour by Peter Brown in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Brown was a natural history illustrator of Danish descent who was based in London and painted many of his works in the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. In 1784, Brown became botanical painter to HRH The Prince of Wales. The present study on vellum might have been executed by a professional botanical illustrator, as they would often choose vellum support to capture the fine detail of their plant subjects. Two prominent creases running across the bottom right corner, approximately 3 inches from the edge. Spotting throughout, some discoloration to the background, but the image itself is bright and good. Minor paint losses to the leaves of the lily and the leaves along the bottom edge. Bottom left corner frayed.
