Woolley & Wallis

Lot 246

SHAKESPEARE INTEREST. A CHIP CARVED WOOD SPECTACLE CASE LATE 18TH / EARLY 19TH CENTURY possibly mulberry from the tree at New Place, Stratford, the lid with the bust of Sir William Shakespeare and two crests on a foliate lattice ground 13.3cm wide Catalogue Note During the 18th century, there was an informal tourist industry in Stratford with people visiting Shakespeare's tomb and the mulberry tree he supposedly planted at New Place. However, the then owner, Rev. Francis Gastrell, became annoyed by the growing number of visitors and sometime in the 1750's felled the tree and later demolished New Place. Objects carved from the mulberry tree first started to appear around 1760 / 1770, after Gastrell sold the wood to local carvers and turners, for example: Thomas Sharp and George Cooper, eager to make souvenirs. At this period of 'bardolatry' drinking vessels, tea caddies, tobacco stoppers, goblets, small boxes or caskets, and similar objects carved from the wood were highly prized.

Hallmarked silver suffragette Hunger Strike medal awarded to Frances Outerbridge, engraved with her name and dated March 1st

Stroud Auctions Ltd.

Lot 352

Hallmarked silver suffragette Hunger Strike medal awarded to Frances Outerbridge, engraved with her name and dated March 1st 1912, in original named case with gilt inscription 'Presented to Frances Outerbridge by the Women's Social & Political Union in recognition of a gallant action, whereby through endurance to the last extremity of hunger and hardship, a great principle of political justice was vindicated'. Also included in the lot is a lock of the recipient's hair in a vintage jewellery box and two lorgnettes.Frances Outerbridge was born 1847 in Roath, Cardiff, to Stephen Arthur and Anne Outerbridge (nee Williams). Frances's paternal lineage is from an eminent Bermuda family and her uncle was Thaddeus Outerbridge, a prominent political figure and businessman in Bermudian society. In 1895/6, at the behest of his daughter the famous suffragette Anna Maria Outerbridge, Thaddeus Outerbridge unsuccessfully petitioned the Bermudian parliament for Suffrage, but although the bill to enfranchise women was passed in the house of assembly, it was defeated in the legislative council and the women of Bermuda had to wait until 1944 for the right to vote. It is hard to believe that the cousins Anna Maria and Frances Outerbridge were not in regular contact, given that they shared a common cause.Frances Outerbridge is later found in the 1891 Census aged 44 and living in the Bow district of London, in the same dwelling as Caroline Lowder Downing aged 35, both trained nurses. It appears the two women had a lifelong friendship. Caroline Lowder Downing is also Suffragette Hunger Strike medal recipient, her medal is held in the UK Parliamentary Art Collection. She was arrested in 1909, 1910 and 1911, and took part in a window smashing on 1st March 1912, for which she appeared at the London Bow St Sessions on the 19th March and was imprisoned in Winson Green Prison, Birmingham. Here she went on hunger strike and as was the common practice, was force fed (Winson Green was one of the first prisons to adopt this). It is highly likely that Frances Outerbridge took part in the same action due to the date on her medal being the same as Downing's, but her name does not appear in any Suffragette records that we can find, leading us to believe she may have given a false name when arrested. Arrest records for the same day as Caroline Downing show a Frances Williams with identical arrest date and appearance at Bow Street, which suggests that Frances Outerbridge gave the name Frances Williams (using her mother's maiden name) when arrested, hence why, despite the naming on the medal, she does not appear in any official list of Hunger Strike medal recipients under her real name.This lot is consigned for sale by a direct descendant of Frances Outerbridge.

It appears the two women had a lifelong friendship. Caroline Lowder Downing is a Suffragette Hunger Strike medal recipient, her medal is held in the UK Parliamentary Art Collection. She was arrested in 1909, 1910 and 1911, and took part in a window smashing on 1st March 1912, for which she appeared at the London Bow St Sessions on the 19th March and was imprisoned in Winson Green Prison, Birmingham. Here she went on hunger strike and as was the common practice, was force fed (Winson Green was one of the first prisons to adopt this). It is highly likely that Frances Outerbridge took part in the same action due to the date on her medal being the same as Downing's, her name does not appear in any Suffragette records that we can find, leading us to believe she may have given a false name when arrested. Arrest records for the same day as Caroline Downing show a Frances Williams with identical arrest date and appearance at Bow Street, which suggests that Frances Outerbridge gave the name Frances Williams (using her mother's maiden name) when arrested, hence why, despite the naming on the medal, she does not appear in any official list of Hunger Strike medal recipients under her real name.This lot is consigned for sale by a direct descendant of Frances Outerbridge
