RAILWAY RELATED: A rare early Victorian presentation table snuff box, rectangular with slightly concaved sides with engine-turning & an engine-turned base with a small central cartouche, initialled "IF", the cover decorated in high relief with a six-wheeled locomotive engine, on a length of track against a matt ground, & framed by a raised floral scroll border, the gilt interior inscribed inside the cover "Presented to Mr John Forbes by W. Graham & J. Mitchell as a mark of their gratitude & respect for that gentleman on all occasions, while their partner on the ARBROATH & FORFAR RAILWAY & more particularly for the attention he devoted to the management of accounts, money, transactions etc. when connected with the firm of FORBES, GRAHM & MITCHELL January 1839", raised floral thumbpiece, by Nathaniel Mills, Birmingham 1838; 3.4" (8.7 cms) long; 6.1 oz *An except from the Perthsire Courier of January 10th 1839 reads: "ARBROATH AND FORFAR RAILWAY:- The works upon this railway being now all but completed, the Chairman of the company (Mr W.T.L. Carnegie) with the engineer and other officers of the Company made the first experimental trip along the whole line on Saturday the 29th ult. The train, which consisted of only two waggons loaded with yarns, and two with workmen, employed upon the railway, was hauled by an elegant and powerful engine called the Victoria, built at the Dundee foundry. The experiment proved exceedingly satisfactory, both as respected the finished state of the way and the construction of the engine. The road is to be immediately opened for the conveyance of both goods and passengers; and it being now2 joined to the Arbroath and Dundee Railway at the harbour of Arbroath, gives a continuing line of Railway of 29 miles, connecting the manufacturing towns of Dundee, Arbroath and Forfar, by that most perfect of all means of conveyance. As it passes near to Brechin, this city and surrounding country will also participate in the benefits of this improved means of intercourse with the three towns above mentioned." A comment from the Cumberland Pacquet of January 22nd 1839 also notes: "The Arbroath and Forfar railway was opened to the public on Thursday. The first train, drawn by the Victoria engine, left Arbroath at half-past eight in the morning, carrying the directors and a large number of passengers. Great interest was excited among the spectators along the line as well as at Forfar, where there was a general turn-out. The trip was made in gallant style. The return of the engine to Arbroath at half-past eleven, was witnessed by hundreds of persons, who assembled at various points where a view of the railway could be obtained." The engines on this line, built by Stirling & Co. of Dundee, numbered only three and were called the Victoria, the Britannia and the Caledonia: they all had outside cylinders and six wheels (driving wheels of five feet in diameter & carrying wheels of three feet six inches diameter). The engine portrayed on the cover of the box has to be a representation of one of the aforementioned three engines & very likely the Victoria, allowing for a little artistic licence.

BRAZELL, (1698), London Weather notes:- "Eight frost fairs were held on the Thames between 1607 and 1814; the first recorded frost fair was in the winter of 1607/08. The frost commenced in mid December, and by 10 to 15 January the ice between Lambeth and Westminster was firm and thick enough to allow a large number of people to walk on it in perfect safety. Booths were set up for the sale of fruit, food, beer and wine and shoemakers and barbers plied their trade on the ice, such as bowling, shooting and dancing. During the winter of 1683/84 the frost lasted from December to early February but the fair was confined to the second half of January. The ice was thick and firm, and the number of shops, booths and people on the frozen river made it appear like another city. The booths, which sold all sorts of goods and merchandise and covered a variety of trades, were arranged in formal streets from the Temple to Southwark. A printing press was set up on the ice and the practice of having their names printed with the date and the phrase "printed on the Thames" became so popular with the people that the printer made a small fortune.......... People indulged in practically every sport including dancing, skating, sledging, bull-bating, bear baiting, fox-hunting, football and skittles.....King Charles II and his family visited the frost fair and had their names printed on a quarto sheet of Dufra paper by "G Groom on the ICE on the River Thames January 31st 1684"
