WELLINGTON DUKE OF: (1769-1852) Anglo-Irish Field Marshal & British Prime Minister 1828-30, 1834. A.L.S., Wellington, three pages, 8vo, Walmer Castle, 30th October 1844, to 'My Dear Lady Jane' [Duchess of Hamilton]. Wellington informs his correspondent that he has been in London to 'attend the Ceremony of opening the Royal Exchange by H.M. The Queen' and adds that he 'was delighted with and am most obliged to you for your account of the statue erected at Glasgow' continuing 'I had seen accounts that it was highly approved of by those who understand these matters. But there is no better judgement than your own; there is no one who has taken a more pointed view of the original.' Wellington further reports on his proposed movements in the forthcoming weeks, including residency in Hampshire, where he would be delighted to receive his correspondent, explaining 'I am only forty miles from London, that is to say in reality the time of three horses by the means of either of two Mail Roads, the Great Western to Reading; the South Western to…' VG The equestrian Wellington Statue is located on Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow, and is one of the city's most iconic images. Located outside the Gallery of Modern Art, the bronze statue, by Italian artist Carlo Marochetti, was erected in 1844. Capping the statue with a traffic cone has become a traditional practice in the city, claimed to represent the humour of the local population and believed to date back to the first half of the 1980s.

HMS Royal George was a 100-gun first-rate ship of the line warship, launched in 1756 and the largest British warship at that time. She saw service during the Seven Years` War and as Sir Edward Hawke`s flagship. While undergoing maintenance off Portsmouth, she sank with the loss of over 800 lives, one of the great disasters in British waters. Attempts were made to raise the vessel, both for salvage and because it was a major hazard to navigation with six cannon being recovered in 1782. In 1839 and 1840 Major-General Charles Pasley of the Royal Engineers did recovery work, including lifting another 12 cannon and other items and culminated in the lifting of the keel and major timbers. Some of the bronze cannon were melted down to make the base to the Nelson`s Column and this item was made from a coin recovered from the wreck.[No Reserve] Extremley fine.Starting Price: £5
