 freberitli DJilliam faitholt, £15.21, ctr.

Frederick \\’illiam Fairholt was born in London in 1818, and until he had
reached his twenty-second year was never beyond sight of that metropolis.

His father was a native of the German village of Dombach, some distance
from Berlin, and who emigrated to England at the age of fourteen, in order to
avoid army service.

Fairholt was a slow boy at school, but made his way into the favor of all by
his ingenious efforts to draw, and started an illustrated paper, which he called
“ The Weekly Entertainer,” for the amusement of himself and schoolmates.
It was gotten up on tea-wrappers. He also paid considerable attention to
drawing during his early manhood, and while employed in a tobacco factory,
where he worked for his livelihood.

A copy he made of the “ French Dancing Master,” in one of Hogarth’s
plates, was shown to Jackson, the famous wood engraver, and through him the
young artist obtained employment more congenial to his taste.

He became acquainted with Rimbault, the composer, and also with J. H.
Rimbault, the wood engraver, who executed nearly all his drawings on wood.

Some of his earliest work appeared in the “ Mirror.”

Fairholt furnished the illustrations for many of the books written or pub—
lished by Charles Knight, such as “ The Penny Magazine,” “ Pictorial Maga-
zine,” “Pictorial History of England,” “ London,” “ Shakespeare,” “ Pales-
tine," and also the elegant volumes on Natural History, published by Van
Voorst, among which were Yarrell's “ Birds 7’ and “ Fishes."

Later he illustrated Jackson and Chatto’s valuable authority on " \Vood En-
graving," and made all the elaborate far-rimz'le: contained therein. Still later,
Halliwell's “ Travels of Sir john Mandeville.”

In 18.10, he was engaged on the “Antiquities of Egypt"; in 1841, on
Hawkins’s “ Silver Coinage of Great Britain," and in 1843—45, on S. C. Hall's
“ Mansions of Great Britain."

PROEM

Fairholt's first literary work was printed in 1843 for the Percy Society. This

‘was “ A History of the Lord Mayor’s Pageants " (see MS. in following Cata-

logue). At the same time he made many designs for other works such as
\Vright’s “Archaeological Album," and “Costume in England.” He was
one of the editors of the Percy Society.

In 1847 he published a little volume, “The Home of Shakespeare, Illus-
trated and Described." This was reprinted by Sabin and Sons, in New York.

Wright’s “ England under the House of Hanover,” Halliwell’s “Life of
Shakespeare,” Chatto’s “ Playing Cards,” Jupp’s ” History of the Carpenters’
Company,” VVright’s “ Celt, Roman and Saxon,” were all illustrated by him.

Lord Londesborough employed Fairholt to furnish the designs for the
”Miscellanea Graphica” and Bryan Faussett for the “ Inventorium Sepul-
chrale." For a short time he worked on a “ Dictionary of Terms in Art.”

During the year 1859 he contributed illustrations to “ Roman London 7’ and
published his “ History of Tobacco.” ” Gog and Magog and Other Civic
Giants ” was produced by his pen in 1860.

Fairholt’s contributions to the “ Art journal " were very numerous consisting
of both literary and artistic matter. A list of these would be too long to give
here. In fact so very many interesting works of various kinds have been
illustrated or edited by, or contributed to by Mr. Fairholt, that want of space
compels omission of further titles.

As an author, he was remarkable for his versatility. As an artist, his draw-
ings are distinguished for truthfulness as well as effect.

He was in strong sympathy with everything popular or archaic. A skillful
wood engraver, an easy and agreeable writer, witty and companionable in
society, able and conscientious in his work for the public, Fairholt could write
a drama, play a part, sing an ancient ballad, picture an old pageant or write an
antiquarian history.

He died in the year 1866.

at M as

The following collection, offered for whatever it will bring, affords an oppor-
tunity to librarians and book illustrators to preserve specimens of the work of
this man of wonderful industry and genius, who desired to rescue from oblivion
the manners, customs, sayings and doings of the people of the past.

Examples of his work in all departments are offered—original MSS, descrip-
tive letters from his correspondents, and many of his drawings in pen and ink,
pencil, sepia, India ink and water-color.

The Catalogue descriptions are necessarily somewhat brief. Thus the
dates of the autographs are usually omitted.

The series of artists of the Royal Academy run generally from the last part
of the Eighteenth Century to the year 1850.

The “Addenda” or Third Part of the following Catalogue comprises a
quantity of important matter and, like that just referred to, suitable for the
making up of ” Unique Copies." There are a part of the private correspondence
of the great Duke of \Vellington—autographic examples of Presidents of the
United States, including Washington and Jefferson—and letters to and from
other famous Americans eminent in the domains of government, law, art
and literature.
