Style of Hugh Thomson, 1860-1920. Original illustration for Cranford, pen & ink on artist's board, depicting a pensive young lady in walking dress and bonnet, carrying an umbrella and standing beside a country church, calligraphic caption lower left '" - Her face seemed to have almost something of the flush of youth in it" Cranford: Chap. XII', lightly toned and a few spots (especially to blank margins), pin hole in upper edge, image size 37 x 22.5 cm (14.5 x 9 ins), sheet size 51 x 32 cm (20 x 12.5 ins) (Qty: 1)This original work is very much in the manner of Hugh Thomson, and yet not found in the 1891 edition of Cranford for which he did the illustrations; it is, however, possible it could be a drawing executed by him which wasn't included in the final publication.
Brocade silk dress. Ivory silk richly embroidered with brightly coloured floral sprays of stylised roses, lilies and bluebells. The bodice has been separated from the skirt. The short sleeved, boned bodice with white silk lining with lacing in the back, has been altered in several places. Cream fabric has been crudely inserted front and back (could be easily removed). The skirt is open sided and reinforced with a kind of buckram; it was originally lined in pink silk that has now deteriorated. It has also been altered and crudely re-hemmed. Amongst the linens in this collection are various hand written labels, one of which reads "Brocade dress worn in 17th century by Mrs Hugh Rogers". Ann Bishop married Hugh Rogers in 1746. Hugh Rogers bought the Penrose Estate in the mid 1700s. Assuming the label refers to this brocade dress, (17th century is a mistake and it should read 18th) it would make the dress early to mid 18th century. It has been much altered and probably would have consisted of an additional petticoat and longer sleeves. The fabric, although not exactly the same, nicely matches the brocade shoes in lot 3203 which bear a label dating them 1722. The floral silk has deteriorated in some places but generally the integrity of the frock is good.Provenance: The Penrose Estate, Porthleven, Cornwall. (See illustration)
