(25.5 x 31.7cm.) on a wall-mounted oak frame with brass plaque engraved BELL OF THE GREAT EASTERN -- 54 x 12in. (137 x 30.5cm.); photocopy of cover and page from 1888 sales catalogue; letter confirming provenance, Provenance: Believed sold by Messrs Dixon & Moore of Liverpool at the Great Eastern dispersal sale of 20th-22nd November 1888 and purchased by James C. Farrie, great-grandfather of the vendor. In 1957 it was inherited by the vendor`s mother and, from 1977-2012, was on loan to the Great Britain Museum, Bristol. In 1888 James C. Farrie and his son James C. Farrie Jr. were cotton brokers living and working in Liverpool and are thought to have bought this bell as a souvenir.
