Henry Yates Thompson (1838-1928), British newspaper proprietor and collector of illuminated manuscripts. Scrapbook, 1860s, compiling naïve field sketches & watercolours produced during travels in Europe & Western Asia (depicting people, customs/culture, landmarks, scenery), as well as several manuscript notes relating to the American Civil War, placing bets and prophecies on the outcome with John Jermyn Cowell. 'HYT bet £2 - even - that the American War will be to all intents & purposes over in 90 days from this time i.e. on June 1st 1865 without the recognition of Southern independence from the North' (dated 3 March 1865, 7 Stone Buildings, Lincoln's Inn); 'JJC bets 5/s that Sherman has lost either a leg or an arm'; 'HYT. I will bet £5 that the Union is restored by the 4th March 1867 or in other words there is no Confederate Govt in America in existence east of the Mississippi' (dated 25 Jan 1865). The more detailed predictions, marked 'prophecies', describe campaigns in Georgia & Virginia, and mention names including Grant, Sherman and Hood. The album also includes a number of documents relating to Henry Yates Thompson being called to the bar, letters relating to the shooting of game, and several contemporary newspaper clippings on various subjects. The album has material on 78 pages (counting pages, not leaves), some mounted at corners, some pasted or tipped-in, some loose. Quarto, green crushed morocco, all edges gilt. Contents generally well-preserved with spotting in places; binding heavily worn as found, boards detached. NB. Henry Yates Thompson was called to the bar, but instead spent time travelling throughout Europe & the United States where he witnessed the Second Battle of Chattanooga. He later gained ownership of the Pall Mall Gazette

JK Rowling was the Ambassador for National Council for One Parent Families so was attending the conference. JK Rowling was lovely and quipped that her books are probably worth more unsigned, as she'd signed so many. We were very proud to have a signed copy. Unfortunately my granddaughter who is now 11 and loves Harry Potter, damaged this particular book when she was a toddler.'
