Unframed Print. Condición: Very Good. Alexander Francis Lydon Ilustrador. An original 1860 colour print, image 13 x 19 cms, from Morris' work A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen & Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland. Together with brief accompanying text pages. Printed using the coloured woodblock process known as Baxter Printing, by Benjamin Fawcett of Driffield, these bright and attractively coloured prints are often mistaken for chromolithographs. It has been noted that the printing is so subtle that it gives the appearance of a watercolour (Friedman, 1978). The print comes with a backing card, the accompanying descriptive text and is nicely presented in a cellophane sleeve, making a perfect present. IDEAL FOR FRAMING.

Handbill, 230 x 125 mm. printed in green. Built in a disused chalk pit in 1837, Rosherville Pleasure Gardens was one of the largest of the Victorian pleasure gardens and attracted many visitors from London who would travel by steamboat along the Thames to a special pier built to serve the gardens. They went bankrupt and closed in 1901, then were briefly revived in 1903, lasting until just before the outbreak of World War One. Some traces of the original gardens remain: the bear pit, the specially designed entrance and the staircase that wound down into the quarry. It was a packed steamer from Rosherville Gardens, the 'Princess Alice' which, in 1878, collided with a collier off Woolwich leading to the death of 640 people, many of them children. The advent of railways led to its eventual demise as it became easier to reach coastal resorts such as Southend and Margate.

There would seem to be some little confusion between you and my mother on two points, viz. how much occurred in my garden, and how much in the outer park, which is 55 acres, or nearly'. In the rest of the letter Clfiton discusses Kentish flora and birds. 'I have been tenant since June 1884 - one or two of my rarities have come to nothing, e.g. Bonaparte's fall (immature) last year.'
