A unique collection. Provenance: The above group have been inherited by the present owner passed down by direct line from Sir William Young, Bart., great-great Grandfather of K.M.A. Day, through his daughter Eliza’s marriage to Richard Ottley. Sir William Young [1749-1815] 2nd Baronet, F.S.A., was a British Diplomat, Colonial Governor, Politician, of Delaford Manor House, near Uxbridge, England. His Father, Sir William Young, [1725-1788], 1st Baronet, was also a Politician, Sugar Planter and Slave Owner. This family is the subject of the famous painting by Zoffany, entitled “Sir William Young and his Family”, c.1767. The 1st Baronet served as President of the Commission for the Sale of Lands in the Ceded Islands, and was the first non-military Governor of Dominica in 1768. He was the author of “An Historical, Statistical and Descriptive Account of the island of Tobago …..” On the death of his Father, the 1st Baronet, the younger Sir William Young, now 2nd Baronet, inherited four plantations in the West indies, one in Antiqua, two in Saint Vincent, and another on Tobago. He benefited greatly from the slave trade, and owned 896 enslaved Africans at the time of his inheritance. In 1791, he embarked on a tour of his estates in the Caribbean, surveying the land, gaining information on conditions of those he enslaved and the sugar industry in the region. He published his findings in 1801, under the title “A Tour through the several Islands of Barbados, St. Vincent, Tobago and Grenada in the years 1791 and 1792” He was appointed Governor of Tobago in 1807, a post he held until his death. He had been entrusted to supply an in-depth report, on condition, treatment of slaves, etc. etc. At the time of the report, the free population of Tobago was calculated to be 959, with a militia of 333 men, while the number of enslaved people on the island was estimated at 16,671. His book contains many watercolours, maps, clippings and descriptions of the plantations on the island. A unique and highly important Collection. As watercolours, w.a.f. (1)
