Marked on the back, ‘P. Clare | Aug. 14-16, 1888’.

From a drawing. Captioned, in capitals, ‘Clergy School : Cambridge :’ and ‘Grayson & Ould Architects | Liverpool : June : 1898 :'.

The name and address of the photographers, ‘Elliott & Fry’, ‘55, Baker Street, W’, are printed on the mount, and between them is written ‘R. Appleton, Septbr. 1892.’ The name of the photographers also appears on the back of the mount, with an indistinct number in pencil.

Perhaps the photograph shows Richard Appleton in his rooms at Trinity, but the subject and the location of the room have not been identified.

The photograph shows a small boy, probably in a studio setting, sitting on an ornate chair with a small open cardboard box beside him. The name of the publishers, ‘E Day & Son Bournemouth’, is written on the mount. Since the firm did not acquire this name till 1873, the boy cannot be Richard Appleton.

The name and addresses of the publishers, ‘Barrauds Limited, 263, Oxford St., London, & 92, Bold St., Liverpool’, are printed on the mount.

The letter includes a photograph of the interior of the church, and is subscribed by J. Gilbert Dixon, vicar, and Arthur Barrett and Arthur Rutter, churchwardens. At the foot has been added by hand, ‘Upwards of of £50 have already been subscribed’.

There is no date in the booklet, but the book referred to, which was published in 1897, is described in the heading as ‘now ready’.

The heading is, in capitals, ‘The Stained Glass of the Great West Window, King’s College Chapel, Cambridge, by John R. Clayton and Alfred Bell.’

Probably a commercially-produced print. Captioned below by hand, ‘North Side VIII. | Worthies of Trinity College.’

Transcript

A Sa Majesté la Reine des Français.

Madame,

Un de vos plus fidèles sujets a l’honneur d’adresser à Votre Majesté une respectueuse invitation pour qu’elle daignat honorer de sa présence le double spectacle des course de chevaux libres et de l’ascension d’un Aéronaute avec une flotille de cinq Ballons pourvoisés qui devaient avoir lieu au champ-de-Mars dimanche dernier.

La fête de Versailles où Votre Majesté devait assister, ne m’ayant pas permis d’espérer qu’Elle pût satisfaire à nos vœux, je me suis empressé de remettre mon Ascension au dimanche suivant 5 Juin.

Je viens encore supplier Votre Majesté de vouloir bien m’accorder la précieuse faveur que j’avais sollicité, et de daigner honorer de sa présence la fête du champ-de-Mars, dédiée à la Garde Nationale. Cette faveur serait un sujet de joie bien vive pour la nombreuse population qui sera dumoins† je l’espère, témoin de mon expérience et sutour pour celui qui ose ce dire Madame,

De Votre Majesté,

Le très-humble, très-obéissant et très-fidèle sujet,
Eugène Robertson
