Having nothing more sincerely at heart than ye Happiness and Prosperity of our well beloved Subjects the Inhabitant of our Celebrated Territories of Merryland and the promoting of Trade, Manufactures and Agriculture in that delightful Colony. And Being well informed that the worth George Paton Esqre. has all manner of Inclination as well as sufficient ability for these noble and laudable purposes And willing that such bold Adventurers as he is known to be should have all suitable encouragement. We do hereby Create Admit and Receive Him a Knight Companion of the Most Ancient and Most Puissant Order of the Beggars Bennison and Merryland by the name Style and Title of Sir George Paton... “, signed Pat Anstruther by the witness and recorder R. Hunter, written in an italic copperplate hand with an additional amendment to lower left blank area, 16th December 15760 [i.e. 1760] appointing Sir George “agent for the affairs of our Order and Stationer in Ordinary which office he is to enjoy for the future”, signed by R. Hunter, vellum document with original faded red silk seal tie and red wax Club seal (an erect penis with a tied small purse above an anchor), sl. cracked with loss of seal edge between 7 and 12 o”clock, a little soiling, 31 x 38cm, original endorsement dated 20th December 5746/1746. The Beggar’s Benison (or Bennison) was a Scottish Society of an erotic and convivial nature composed of the nobility and gentry of Anstruther and surrounding districts. The club was formally founded in 1739, original founders including Philip Paton (merchant comptroller of the customs at Kirkcaldy), Robert Hunter (customs clerk) and John McNachtane (customs officer at Anstruther). The recipient of this diploma is most likely the book collector George Paton (1721-1807). He spent most of his life as a customs clerk but built up an extensive library which took its origins in the bookseller’s stock of his father John Paton, a prominent Edinburgh bookseller and George Mosman, his maternal grandfather. Most of Paton’s books were sold by auction in 1809 and his manuscripts at a sale in 1811. The most substantial holdings of his correspondence are held in the National Library of Scotland. (1)

Of the fifty-one negatives in the series of which there are extant prints only a small number were exhibited by Fenton in Edinburgh, London and Paris. All the photographs are rare and many of the surviving prints have come from the albums thought to have been Fenton`s own, known as the `grey paper` albums (sold by Christie`s between 1978 and 1982). For more information see Gordon Baldwin, `Roger Fenton: Pasha and Bayadere`, (Getty Museum, 1996). An export ban is currently in place by the British Culture Minister on one of only two known examples of `Pasha and Bayadere` with an asking price of £109,000. The photograph is similar to that shown in lot 638B with props and figures in near-identical positions, though the central figure believed to be Fenton in the `Pasha and Bayadere` photograph is here clearly another man [Frank Dillon?] who appears in the composition of lots 638A-638C.
