This is an anti-slavery album with poetry and floral watercolors created to raise money to fight slavery in America, with a page near the beginning stating the purpose of the album; it reads “This album given by Ladies in England with other rare and valuable articles in aid of the Cause of Anti-Slavery was purchased at a fair held by the Liberty Party in 1847 to raise funds to further the work, publish documents & otherwise spread information of the condition & needs of the slaves in our Southern States, and influence a healthy public sentiment toward their freedom. Its cost was a real sacrifice at that time and therefore rendered doubly valuable to my wife”, signed A F Farrar. We don’t know who A F Farrar was, but he clearly had an anti-slavery mind set. England abolished slavery in the 1830’s and this album was created to help out the Liberty Party (1840–48), which was the first political party organized in America to oppose the spread of slavery and cut down the power of the Southern states in owning and engaging in slavery.The album has a beautiful floral watercolor after a poem near the front, with several other poems inside, all hand-written in the Boston and Marblehead areas of Massachusetts between 1849 and 1852; there are two pages that philosophize about good and bad virtues in life, four embossed chromolithograph cards of young girls picking flowers and giving them out and one of a young girl ice skating - probably why this is also called a friendship album - and several pages with embossed borders to encase the chromolithograph cards; there’s a pastoral vignette by M H Middleton, and the album comes with beautiful lacquered covers - one with mother-of-pearl and hand-painted floral decorations on the front and a striking gilt floral decoration on the back - the spine is decorated in gilt, and the album is housed in a velvet-lined custom box with a metal clasp and the initials E J F on top. The custom box also opens to reveal a fold-out slipcase that holds the album itself, and the only apology is that the top part of the custom box is detached, but you don’t notice that when the box is closed.We don’t know who painted the watercolors in this album, but the first one resembles watercolors painted by Sarah Mapps Douglass and Ada Howell Hinton. Both were educators and anti-slavery activists from the African American community in Philadelphia in the 1830’s and 40’s, and their watercolors are highly prized. The images painted on letters by Sarah Mapps Douglass may also be the first or earliest surviving examples of signed paintings by an African American woman in this country.The box measures 6 x 8 1/2 in. wide and the album itself measures 7 1/4 x 5 in. wide, with gilt dentelles on silk moire floral-patterned endpapers, and all the edges are gilt, and selling albums like this was one way to raise money for the abolitionist movement in the mid 1800’s, and coming from England and being bought at a fair here, the album has a wonderful connection - it makes it seem like people in England were joining handswith people in this country to promote freedom and equality. A rare archive with social and historical significance.

Emma Lady Hamilton, An Old Story Re-told By Hilda Gamlin, With Portraits, Facsimiles And Other Illustrations, Liverpool, Edward Howell, 28 Church Street, London, Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Limited MDCCCXCI [1891], Printed by Edward Howell from Liverpool. The book is 3/4 bound, with five raised bands, six gilt-ruled compartments with gilt titles, gilt devices, and “1891” in gilt at the bottom of the spine, green boards, green marbled endpapers, a black and white portrait and a colored portrait of Emma Lady Hamilton before the title page, a Preface by Hilda Gamlin after the title page, then a List of Illustrations, the Contents, and the text is 299 pages long, including the Index at the rear. There are 47 plates altogether, including the two frontis portraits of Lady Hamilton, and the top edge is gilt. The author lived on the Wirral peninsula in Northwest England, where Lady Hamilton was born. Hilda Gamlin was able to collect rare manuscript sources and include rarely seen pictorial material that she was able to put into this book, and in some ways, the book was an apology to Lady Hamilton for the way she was maligned by many critics, but that was well after Lady Hamilton died. Gamlin also wrote Nelson’s Friendships, so she was well versed in the life of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. Emma Lady Hamilton was born Amy Lyon in Neston, a village on the Wirral Peninsula, and was an English maid, model, dancer and actress before she came into the limelight.She began her career in London'sdemi-monde, becoming the mistress of a series of wealthy men, and eventually became the mistress of Lord Nelson, which is a story unto  itself. In 1791, at the age of 26, she married Sir William Hamilton, British ambassador to the Kingdom of Naples, where she became a success at court, befriending the queen, who was a sister of Marie Antoinette, and where she met Lord Nelson. She was unable to have children with Sir William, Nelson returned to Naples a few years later, and the rest is history. Nelson and Lady Hamilton fell in love, even though he was married to someone else at the time - Emma was too. They soon began an affair, and as Sir William’s health declined, they moved in together at Merton, an estate Nelson bought  after being prompted by Lady Hamilton to buy it - and Sir William moved in with them because of his declining health. He didn’t object to the affair between Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton, and things took a turn for the better when Sir William died. It sounds like a soap opera, and probably was, and when Lord Nelson was killed at Trafalgar in 1805, she was devastated - they had a deep love for each other. She was eventually forced to sell Merton because she couldn’t afford the bills, she lived near poverty for the last few years of her life - she even spent two years in debtor’s prison with her daughter, Horatia, named after her father Lord Nelson - and Emma was a most remarkable person.  The book is a large 4to. and measures 11 1/8 x 9 1/4 in. wide, with light rubbing at the crown, along the edges of the spine, and at the tips, light pencilled notes on the front free endpapers and light offset from the plates once in a while, and still a great resource about the life of Emma Lady Hamilton. And if you’re wondering why she was not called Lady Nelson, she was married to Sir William Hamilton, and that’s how she got the title Emma Lady Hamilton. 

This is the same book title as the previous lot, only it has the bookplate of Willam Nelson, Lord Nelson’ s brother, and the story behind the bookplate is fascinating, as is the provenance from the British Museum in London that authenticated the bookplate. The title of the two-volume set is Emma Lady Hamilton, An Old Story Re-told By Hilda Gamlin, With Portraits, Facsimiles And Other Illustrations, Liverpool, Edward Howell, 28 Church Street, London, Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Limited MDCCCXCI [1891], Printed by Edward Howell from Liverpool, and it has the bookplate of William Nelson on the page before the Preface. The set was owned by Paul Hewitt, a commander in the U.S navy. He bought the set from a dealer and thought the bookplate might have belonged to Lord Nelson himself, so Paul wrote to the British Museum in London to find out more about the bookplate, and they wrote back to him telling him the bookplate actually belonged to Willam Nelson, Lord Nelson’s brother. William was a reverend - a priest - and not a titled person, yet the British government held Lord Nelson in such esteem that after Lord Nelson was killed at Trafalgar in 1805, the British government bestowed the title of Earl on William, and this is William’s bookplate here. The Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum also explained the history of the designs on the bookplate: “the bookplate of which you sent a photocopyis not that of the great Lord Nelson but of his brother, William. Admiral Nelson was a Viscount, whereas the uppermost coronet on your bookplate is that of an Earl. The Admiral left no legitimate children, and after his death at the battle of Trafalgar, as a further mark of distinction for the family, his older bother, to whom, in default of direct heirs male his honours descended, was given an earldom. That the bookplate cannot be that of any succeeding Earls Nelson is shown by the lower of the two coronets, which is that of a Duke. This shows that the owner of the bookplate also held the Dukedom of Bronte in Sicily, which was conferred upon the Admiral by the King of Naples and which likewise passed to his brother. Earl Nelson died leaving an only daughter to whom the Dukedom of Bronte descended, while the Nelson Peerages passed, according to the terms of the special remainder, to the issue of Lord Nelson’s sister. Your bookplate can be dated between 1805 and 1835 when the first Earl Nelson died.” That was William, Lord Nelson’s brother. Horatia, Lord Nelson’s daughter with Emma Lady Hamilton, was illegitimate, so not entitled to Lord Nelson’s titles or estate. All that is documented here in the letter to Paul from the British Museum, and there probably aren’t many bookplates in the world belonging to the first Earl Nelson - the title William received after his brother died. We’ve looked high and low and not found another bookplate belonging to William, the 1st Earl Nelson, only bookplates belonging to Lord Nelson himself, so this is a rather unique bookplate, with documentation from the British Museum to prove the authenticity and history of the bookplate. The books are 3/4 bound, with five raised bands, six-gilt ruled compartments with bright gilt titles and elaborate gilt tooling on the spine, blue marbled endpapers, numerous plates and illustrations, 154 pages in Volume I and pages 155 - 299 in Volume II, including the Index at the rear, and the top edges are gilt. The text and illustrationsare clean, with slight offset once in a while, and the front board on the first volume is detached; the back board on the first volume is tight and secure, and the boards on the second volume are tight and completely intact. The books are 4vo. and measure 11 5/8 x 9 3/8 in. wide, and the two together make a terrific addition to anyone who collects Lord Nelson books or memorabilia, especially with the bookplate of William Nelson, the first Earl Nelson.
