Bristol. An illustrated manuscript journal, by C[harlotte] H. Girdlestone, circa 1836, pp.41, written throughout in a neat hand to rectos and verso, interspersed with a few items of verse and 12 drawings and vignettes comprising: 5 botanical watercolours; a pen & ink drawing of 3 choristers; 2 mounted topographical watercolours, one of Nightingale Valley and the other depicting 'a magnificent Elm'; 3 pen & ink sketches of a distant settlement, the Severn Estuary, and trees; and a pencil sketch of St. John's Church, watermarked Joynson 1836, stitching lost and page block loose in original printed card covers 'Superfine London Copy Book', with owner's manuscript name on upper cover, 4to (23 x 18.5 cm) (Qty: 1)NOTESCharting a two-week sojourn to Bristol and surrounding area, this skilfully-illustrated journal is by little-known artist Charlotte Girdlestone; a sketchbook by Charlotte is held by The National Archives, containing scenes in Cheshire drawn between 1837 and 1842, and a lithographic panorama of Regent's Park was sold at auction recently which was annotated in pencil: “Drawn on stone by Charlotte Girdlestone, between 1830 & 1835.” Amongst religious musings and extensive descriptions of flora, there are many mentions of excursions to places around Bristol, for example the writer describes a service at Bristol Cathedral, a trip to Clifton Downs, where the party view the Camera Obscura at the Observatory, and glimpse Cook's Folly "guarded from a lady's approach, by the abominations of a Beer shop and Tea gardens", a visit "to the Hotwells, where I drank the tepid water of the Spring ... ", and trips to the Zoological Gardens, Almondsbury Hill, Penpole Hill, the Ropeworks, Mr. Gassaway's Nursery Gardens, Henbury Cottages, and the Church of St. Mary, Redcliffe where Hogarth's Altarpiece was examined and the tower ascended. Unsurprisingly there is an emphasis on painting and the arts, the writer making note of her own time spent drawing or arranging portfolios, as well as such notable occasions as a trip to Windsor Terrace, Clifton where "I did not see Mr. Rippingille's pictures" (presumably Bristol School artist Edward Villers Rippingille), although a subsequent trip was more successful "Admired pictures in Mr. West's Studio". An outing to see Mr. William's Cabinet of Minerals is described at length, and at the Academy of Arts the writer "examined the pictures for an hour" detailing certain pieces by Syers, Wolfe, Curnock, Simmons, Jackson. An evening is described in which "Mr. William brought home from a Sale, 3 boxes of Medallions in Plaster of Paris and Terra Cotta, most beautiful ... If each mind has its peculiar element of sympathetic pleasure, I think mine is in beauty of Form", going on to say "After the Medallions came the book of Ferns, from Madeira and Jamaica".

Whatman 1836, stationer's oval blindstamp to upper left corner of second leaf 'London Superfine', page block loose in original blue card covers, rubbed and marked, 4to (26 x 21 cm) (Qty: 1)NOTESA beautifully illustrated travelogue by Isabella Nicholson, the sister of artist George Nicholson (1795?-1838), who exhibited drawings in watercolour and pencil of flowers, birds, and occasionally landscapes, at the Liverpool Academy between 1829 and 1845. The sketchbook charts Isabella's excursion in picturesque North Wales with two friends, Edward and Mary Ann, which begins with a sea voyage from Liverpool on the Prince Llewellyn at 9am on Saturday August 5th 1837. On arrival at Beddgelert from Bangor the author writes: "Everything here is charming and romantic ... I feel temptation to draw at every step." As well as the usual descriptions of the "strikingly beautiful" scenery, the journal is full of minute observation, detailed conversations, anecdote and good humour, for example: the Captain of the ship allowing a bee to perambulate his arm for half an hour rather than end its life; the curious seaweed at Garth made into cat-o'-nine-tails by boys; and her disbelief at and subsequent measuring of the 15 foot thick walls of the Eagle Tower, Caernarvon Castle. Prices of food and board are noted, and various comments made about meals, such as a description of the consumption of "a hot roasted duck & a glass of good ale" and "we devoured a couple of fowls, fresh roasted, for our tea". At Ffestiniog Isabella describes rural life: "In the meadows we observed a fine example of discipline among the Mowers; there were 7 in one rank, sweeping with simultaneous action, and resting together". Local customs are noted, such as drinking from the Antique Tankard of Beddgelert, and notable characters such as the two Mrs. Pritchards are mentioned. At one of their boarding houses Isabella writes of "all the house in the hall lilting to the harp", describing the vivid scene of glaring light and wild strains of music, to which master and servant alike dance and partner each other. She describes a misty ascent of Snowdon, alternately riding and leading a pony, and mentions a boy sent to guide them who was unable to speak a word of English; on the ascent she and her party are forced to find shelter in an old lady's cottage, where "several Welsh lasses came in quite wet", including "a mountain beauty". She also describes an evening when cannons were fired: "the effect was astonishing, it was answered by all the echoes in Snowdonia", the netting of a butterfly which "enriches my cabinet", and Mary Ann turning her back on Edward to negotiate a gate "lest he should see her stockings".
