SIR FRANCIS GRANT (SCOTTISH 1803 - 1878),EMILY (AMELIA) FARQUHARSON, THE ARTIST'S WIFEwatercolour and gum arabic on ivory, initialled indistinctly "F G" upper right5cm x 3cmIn pinchbeck frame in red leather carrying caseNote: Inscribed verso "Emily Farquharson, eldest daughter of Katherine Farquharson of Invercauld, first wife of Sir Francis Grant." Also stamped on inner lid for (John) Le Cheminant, 72a Wimpole Street, London. Cheminant is recorded at this address in the 1872 London Directory, which corresponds with the fact that Grant was not knighted until 1866, and he is referred to as "Sir Francis Grant" in the inscription.

Articles 3 and 4 in the charter's text state: “Founding members are those who formed the company in 1899. They will pay an annuity of L. 25 for the first year, then L. 15. Are active members those who join the Company after January 31, 1900 [...] and will pay an annuity of L. 15”. The consecutio temporum allows us therefore to establish that the volume was printed in 1900. This is also confirmed by the business history of Giovanni Pizzi, the Milanese typographer who printed the charter. Patrizia Caccia in her repertoire “Publishers in Milan” noted that the activities of Pizzi had its headquarters in Via Visconti 14 until 1905/06.provenance:-one of the Club's founders-by descent to his heirs
