Oak frame over matted board with seven openings for photographs. Photos somewhat faded the card mat soiled. An original 'front-of-house' board visible area: 30.5 x 22.5 inches with seven cabinet-sized albumen print photographs visible area: 5 x 3.5 inches. 1 vols. Frame size 34 x 26. A unique reminder of an extraordinary sporting prodigy. An original 'front-of-house' board with calligraphic manuscript text in red and black ink 'Mastr. C Brown / "Young Nimrod" / Champion Wing And / Rifle Shot of the World / as he appeared before / H.R.H. the /Prince of Wales / Prince Christian / and / various Members / of the / Royal Family.' the board acting as a custom matt for seven cabinet-sized albumen print photographs of Master Brown in uniform or in shooting kit all with gun in hand two with an accompanying gundog. <br/><br/>It is not possible to be certain but this 'board' looks like it was used in the lobby of a venue where 'Young Nimrod' was appearing possibly doubling as the 'card' which was used to identify his 'act' as he performed on stage. In any case it is a remarkable survivor from the age of P T Barnum Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley and a reminder of a time when the borders between sport theatre and spectacle were blurred to the delight of appreciative audiences in the UK Europe and the US.<br/><br/>In addition to showing great natural talent Charles Brown also had the advantage of being the son Thomas Brown the proprietor of the South London Shooting Ground at Nunhead. By the time he was eight 'Youing Nimrod' was already shooting to a very high standard see below for some of his most memorable scores. The Prince of Wales a keen shot was an occasional visitor to Nunhead and on the 3rd April 1882 at the Royal Aquarium Westminster Master C. Brown gave an exhibition of glass ball shooting before the Prince and his guests: this is probably the occasion referred to on the present board.<br/><br/>A contemporary account of 'Young Nimrod is given by Basil Tozer: "Last but not least comes Master Charles Brown of Nunhead alias "Young Nimrod" a boy not yet in his teens but who may fairly be termed the juvenile champion wing-shot of the world. Young Nimrod began shooting at the early age of seven and has from the time of his first essay made wonderful progress in the art. His name is well known in connection with shooting and he is frequently a topic of conversation at pigeon shooting reunions. The guns employed are of small caliber i.e. double and single 20 24 and 28 bores thereby making his performances all the more creditable. He was greatly eulogised upon his skill by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales before whom he gave an exhibition in glass ball shooting some years ago. Annexed are some of Young Nimrod's best scores: <br/><br/>First match at pigeons shot at Nunhead on December 18th 1882. To kill 34 blue rocks i.e.rock-doves out of 50 with a 28-bore gun at 15 yards rise. A strong wind favoured the birds rendering the task an extremely difficult one. Second match shot at Dawlish South Devon on the 28th December following. To accomplish the same feat under similar conditions. <br/><br/>It may here be well to remind the reader that Young Nimrod was at this time but eight years of age. His next performance worthy of note took place on January 25th 1883. This was an attempt to shoot 70 pigeions out of 100 at 18 yards rise and 80 fall using his 28-bore Greener . This he achieved in splendid style. He again backed himself to reapeat the same at the Union Club Hendon on the 2nd April 1883 and actually grassed 75 of Hammond's blue rocks out of the century 61 of which were killed with the first barrel. These figures speak for themselves and the boy's unerring aim added to his cool calm demeanour whilst shooting would do credit to any veteran sportsman - not to mention a child of nine. His expertness with the rifle is equally laudable. Young Nimrod's finest performance took place at Nunhead on 25 May 1885 when he broke 1047 glass balls in one hour the first hundred being disposed of in six minutes fifty seconds. The guns employed were two 24-bores and a 20-bore. In February 1883 he undertook to shoot 420 double rises out of 600 at the Agricutural Hall on three consecutive days. This he accomplished by destroying 513 out of the 600 in double shots. In the same year he scored 88 " kills" out of 100 clay pigeons. On the 2nd March 1884 Master Brown was tasked by his father to pierce 60 wooden balls out of 100 with a .380-bore rifle standing at ten yards rise the balls were thrown up by hand in front of him.

The autograph printer's manuscript for the lead article for the March 1906 issue of Scribner's Magazine recounting an early long-distance motoring trip undertaken by Norman with two American friends which took them over perilous alipne passes. Scientific American described it as "the best appreciation of the true charm of motoring ever written." <br/><br/>Sir Henry Norman 1858-1959 was an early member of the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland and had occasion as an M.P. elected in 1900 to represent the interests of motorists. <br/>"Norman joined the staff of the Pall Mall Gazette under the editorship of the celebrated W. T. Stead and became a prominent and prolific journalist in the heyday of the 'new journalism'. He maintained his links with the United States working as a London correspondent for the New York Times. An astute networker Norman reported on literary theatrical and political matters and came to know such figures as Robert Louis Stevenson William Archer Walter Pater Henry Irving George Bernard Shaw and Walt Whitman. In 1887 he set off on a four-year world tour on behalf of several international newspapers reporting from places as far apart as Canada Siberia the Philippines Siam and Japan. The trip gave him material for his successful travel books The Real Japan 1892 and The Peoples and Politics of the Far East 1895" ODNB. unknown books

Inscribed by the author on the limitation page: In a letter which we have had in the past Pickering explains the genesis of this book: "In 1931 an incident occurred on my annual fishing trip which I thought sufficiently amusing to dress up as a thin yarn and send out to my friends as a Christmas greeting. It was my thought to have it printed in pamphlet form by the office printer. Our mutual friend G. Franklin Ludington suggested that I should have it done by Derrydale and print only ninety-nine copies that it should be illustrated and that Mrs. Pickering should color the frontispiece. These things were done and to my astonishment and eventual undoing the book shortly became a collector's item.". Siegel 31; Frazier P-6-a The Derrydale Press unknown books
