THE TRANBY CROFT AFFAIR. THE PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED VISITORS ALBUM OF DELIGHTFUL CARICATURES WATERCOLOURS ALBUMEN PRINTS AND PHOTOCOLLAGES BY SUSANNAH WILSON the approximately 1000 signatures (many occuring more than once) collected on numerous occasions at Tranby Croft, Yorkshire at and house parties and balls throughout England, Monte Carlo and elsewhere between December 1890 and August 1897 including those of the Wilsons, Lycett-Greens, their extended families, many of their millieux and eight of the witnesses in the trial that became known as the `Royal Baccarat Scandal`, Prince Albert Victor "Eddy" Duke of Clarence (1864-1892) (including an extremely rare example of a photograph taken by the Prince and, beside his repeated signature, a curious pictogram of unknown significance) and Maharajah Prince Duleep Singh (1838-1893) and his second wife and family, the seats including Bramham, Sandbeck and Escrick Parks, Yorkshire and Renishaw Hall, Breadsall Priory and Bretby Park, Derbyshire, on fifty nine linen-hinged card leaves (290 x 225mm) aeg, tooled green morocco (worn) [c1890] Provenance: Found in a locked bureau purchased at a Derbyshire farm sale by the present owner in the early 1980s. This unusually elaborate example of an album illustrated with photocollage is of a type created by many aristocratic young women from the mid 1860s to the 1890s. In their leaves the conventions of photography are wittily flouted, with often highly amusing results. The Princess Alexandra Album (Royal Collection) of the Princess of Wales and those of ladies of the Paget, Sackville-West and Jocelyn families are other notable examples. This one is of unique interest for it is from Tranby Croft, the house where the Prince of Wales illegally played at Baccarat. The sensational trial that resulted from an unsuccessful cover-up of an allegation of cheating that night was presided over by the biased Lord Chief Justice Coleridge from 1st-9th June 1891. A media frenzy ensued since the Prince was required to attend as a witness, much to the displeasure of Queen Victoria, and it remains one of the most notorious trials for slander in British legal history. The owner of the album, Susannah West Wilson, subsequently Menzies then Holford, always known as "Tottie" (1864-1943) must have kept an earlier one since, during the trial, it emerged that the unsuccessful plaintiff, Sir William Gordon-Cumming had asked the Prince of Wales on the 11th September 1890 to put his signature "in Miss Wilson`s Birthday Book". The first entry in the present album is dated three months after the incident on 11th September 1890, but there is a tantalising possible reference to the outcome for, when the Wilsons were briefly at their London house, 17 Grosvenor Place, where they stayed during the trial, there is a tiny watercolour of a carriage making its way in celebration along a street of public rejoicing above the perhaps cryptic caption "The Return fr. Crystal Palace Fireworks". The album brings vividly to life the hectic whirl and leisured lives of the arriviste Wilsons. Their colossal fortune from ship building had been amassed from nothing in a couple of generations. Their ultimate acceptance in Society but also, paradoxically, their fate, was to be sealed by the future King Edward VII on his fateful visit to Tranby Croft. A double portrait of Tottie Wilson and her sister Ethel, painted by James Sant, RA and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1881 was sold by Order of the Executors of the late Sir Edward Stephen Lycett-Green, Bt, Christie`s, Contents of Ken Hill, Norfolk, 13 September 1999, lot 610.
