Alleno.

18773158141877. London: Vincent Brookes Day and Son for Vanity Fair 15 December 1877. A full-length lithographic portrait of Young after Pellegrini from the 'Men of the Day' series no. 167 image size 310 x 184mm; very good mounted with a photocopy of the original text to the verso.A portrait of the Arctic explorer Sir Allen Young shortly after he was knighted for his services to Arctic exploration. Allen served as the navigating officer of the Fox under Sir Leopold M'Clintock in 1857 during its expedition to follow through John Rae's discoveries relating to Franklin's fate: 'During the two years spent in following Franklin's tracks Young made notable sledge journeys exploring about 380 miles of new coast line including the southern and western coasts of Prince of Wales Land and both shores of Franklin Strait. He also discovered McClintock Channel but was unable to cross its rough ice. In 1860 he had command of the Fox in the north Atlantic telegraph expedition which surveyed a telegraph route between Europe and America via the Faeroes Iceland and Greenland. He visited the east coast of Greenland but believing it to be impracticable for a cable route did not land. He sailed on for the west coast landed with Rae who was in charge of the land part of the expedition and ascended to the ice cap near Julianehab; but he returned on deciding that a telegraph line could not be carried across Greenland' ODNB. Young later travelled to Baffin Bay in support of Sir George Nares' 1875-1876 Arctic expedition and returned the following year when 'in spite of great difficulties he landed dispatches for Nares at Cape Isabella and Littleton Island' op. cit.; for his services to Nares' expedition Young was knighted in 1877 shortly before this portrait was executed. Young's last Arctic expedition was in June 1882 when 'he commanded the whaler Hope chartered with government help in order to search for the explorer Benjamin Leigh Smith who had sailed for Franz Josef Land in July of the previous year. Nares and Young were instrumental in launching the relief expedition and in August 1882 the Hope found Leigh Smith and his party at Matochkin Shar on the west coast of Novaya Zemlya which they had reached in boats after the destruction of their vessel off Franz Josef Land' op. cit. unknown

In October of 2015 Rollin Milroy wrote in the Heavenly Monkey blog "The cover paper is Roma Fabriano. It's a bizarre sheet in a patently non-HM color pink purchased for pennies on the dollar at the bankruptcy sale. The laid sheet probably machine-made doubtfully mould has an exaggerated screen side that makes it useless for printing. It's been in the studio for ages. But the color matches nicely with HM's newly acquired stock of bronze ink which will be re-appearing in the upcoming Harold Budd project" 10/12/15. Later in the month he wrote regarding the cover overlay paper "It's a lovely handmade gampi with the printed title positioned to perfectly overlay the same line on the Roma wrap. Because the gampi is so thin it's a little tricky fitting it around the book & getting it to stay in place - keeping the two lines in register - while sewing" 10/29/15.</p> Heavenly Monkey,

Arthur Orton claiming to be Sir Roger Tichborne; Baronet or butcher. Issue No. 136. Original Lithograph.

18-3290London: Vanity Fair 1871. Original colour lithograph. 13.5 x 8.5 inches accompanied by 1 sheet of letterpress description. Very Good. Trimmed at bottom of page with some loss of text. Crease on bottom left corner not affecting image. Published in Vanity Fair 10 June 1871.The Tichborne case was a legal cause célèbre that captivated Victorian England in the 1860s and 1870s. It concerned the claims by an individual sometimes referred to as Thomas Castro or as Arthur Orton but usually termed "the Claimant" to be the missing heir to the Tichborne baronetcy. He failed to convince the courts was convicted of perjury and served a long prison sentence.Roger Tichborne heir to the family's title and fortunes was presumed to have died in a shipwreck in 1854 at age 25. His mother clung to a belief that he might have survived and after hearing rumours that he had made his way to Australia she advertised extensively in Australian newspapers offering a reward for information. In 1866 a butcher known as Thomas Castro from Wagga Wagga came forward claiming to be Roger Tichborne. Although his manners and bearing were unrefined he gathered support and travelled to England. He was instantly accepted by Lady Tichborne as her son although other family members were dismissive and sought to expose him as an impostor.During protracted enquiries before the case went to court in 1871 details emerged suggesting that the Claimant might be Arthur Orton a butcher's son from Wapping in London who had gone to sea as a boy and had last been heard of in Australia. After a civil court had rejected the Claimant's case he was charged with perjury; while awaiting trial he campaigned throughout the country to gain popular support. In 1874 a criminal court jury decided that he was not Roger Tichborne and declared him to be Arthur Orton. Before passing a sentence of 14 years the judge condemned the behaviour of the Claimant's counsel Edward Kenealy who was subsequently disbarred because of his conduct.After the trial Kenealy instigated a popular radical reform movement the Magna Charta Association which championed the Claimant's cause for some years. Kenealy was elected to Parliament in 1875 as a radical independent but was not an effective parliamentarian. The movement was in decline when the Claimant was released in 1884 and he had no dealings with it. In 1895 he confessed to being Orton only to recant almost immediately. He lived generally in poverty for the rest of his life and was destitute at the time of his death in 1898. Although most commentators have accepted the court's view that the Claimant was Orton some analysts believe that an element of doubt remains as to his true identity and that conceivably he was Roger Tichborne.
