A propos de cet article

London, 1872. Oblong sheet folded into 16 panels. A Rare and Vibrant Victorian Pictorial Satire of the Century's Most Infamous Legal Charade [Trial]. [Tichborne Case]. The Tichborne Trial As Told to Our Grandchildren. London: H. G. Clarke and Co., [c.1872]. Oblong 34-1/4" x 11-1/2" (87 x 29 cm) sheet, 5-3/4" x 4-3/4" (14.5 x 12 cm) when folded completely, in sixteen panels glued into pictorial wrappers, title to front wrapper and advertisements to its verso and rear wrapper. Front illustration and panels, each with a woodcut vignette and accompanying satirical verse, hand-colored. Unobtrusive light foxing and soiling, a few small tears along fold lines not affecting images, colors vivid. A well-preserved survival of a fragile and seldom-encountered form of Victorian popular ephemera. $1,750. * This folding satirical panorama was issued during the height of public fascination with the Tichborne case, which captivated Victorian England in the 1860s and 1870s. In 1854, Roger Tichborne, the 25 year-old heir to the Tichborne baronetcy, disappeared while traveling in South America, presumed to have died in a shipwreck. His mother refused to abandon hope. When she heard rumors that he was in Australia, she placed several advertisements concerning his whereabouts in Australian newspapers. In 1865, an Australian butcher named Thomas Castro, sometimes referred to as Arthur Orton, claimed to be the missing heir. He failed to convince the courts, was convicted of perjury and served a long prison sentence. The dispute over his identity continued until his death in 1898. The case generated a vast body of popular literature and has continued to captivate the public as recently as Zadie Smith's 2023 novel The Fraud. Our example is one of several known silhouette illustration satires of the case by Clarke & Co, all of which are rare. The vivid hand-coloring highlights the illustration style, which had the advantage (for the publisher) of emphasizing Orton's size. OCLC locates 7 copies of Clarke & Co. satires under this title, 2 in law libraries (Yale, Harvard). …
