These reports mark the efforts of the House of Commons to ensure that the Cheap Trains Act 1883 was being properly implemented. The Act had excused railway companies from paying passenger duty on cheap fares, but in return required them to run cheap trains for workers, at least in part to make it possible for the lowest paid to move out of crowded city centres to new housing schemes. Huge amounts of fascinating detail. [heavy item, may require additional postage to some destinations]

Gibson, Thomas Milner. (1806-1884). British Liberal politician who served as President of the Board of Trade under Lord Palmerston (1859-1866).

Signature of British Liberal Politician Thomas Milner Gibson on the Latter Half of a Letter.

Theberton, Suffolk, U.K.: circa [1865]. [1865]. - The closing 8 lines of a letter penned in black ink on part of a sheet of cream note paper, 3-5/8 inches high by 4-3/8 inches wide. Signed "Thos. Milner Gibson". Folded for mailing approximately 1 inch from the top edge. The left edge is slightly creased. Good. Gibson is writing to his correspondent about reports written by [Walter] Plowden, the first British Consul to Abyssinia. "Perhaps his reports on Abyssinia may have been sent before he was made Consul, in 1848 or 1849. If you could send me these to Theberton I should be very much obliged." Thomas Milner Gibson [1806-1884] was a British Conservative politician who adopted Liberal views and became an ardent supporter of the free-trade movement. He was elected to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Manchester in 1841, and from 1846 to 1848 was Vice-President of the Board of Trade under Prime Minister Lord John Russell. From 1859 to 1866 he sat in the cabinet as President of the Board of Trade, first under Lord Palmerston and then under John Russell. Gibson was a leader in the movement for the repeal of taxes on educational materials and his successful efforts on behalf of journalism and advertising were recognized by a public testimonial in 1862. He retired from political life in 1868. Gibson and his wife resided at Theberton House in the village of Theberton, Suffolk. British diplomat Walter Plowden [1820-1860] was the British Consul at Massawa in Eritrea [at that time part of Ethiopia] on the Red Sea coast from 1848 to 1860. He played a role in Ethiopian politics, cultivating the friendship, first of Ras Ali,regent of the Ethiopian emperor, and later of the emperor Tewodros. In 1860 he was murdered by a warlord hostile to Tewodros. His writings on Abyssinia were published by his brother in London in 1868. Good .

Lord Carlingford": A Richly Toned Woodburytype Oval Portrait of the Chief Secretary for Ireland Chichester Parkinson-Fortescue, 1st Baron Carlingford.

Lock and Whitfield, between 1874 & 1894. - A richly hued 4-1/2 inch high oval woodburytype portrait of Lord Carlingford mounted onto 11-1/4 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide stiff cream stock.

"Lock and Whitfield" and "Woodbury Process" are printed at left and right along the lower edge. Near fine.

The British Liberal politician Chichester Parkinson-Fortescue, 1st Baron Carlingford (1823-1898) was elected to Parliament for Louth in 1847. He served as Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies under Palmerston and was admitted to the Privy Council in 1864. Appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland under Lord Russell and subsequently under William Ewart Gladstone, he came to hold a seat in Gladstone's cabinet and was admitted to the Irish Privy Council. He also later served as President of the Board of Trade. Appointed Knight of the Order of St. Patrick in 1882, he was an active supporter on Irish questions in his early years but later parted with Gladstone on the question of Irish Home Rule.

Both a printing process and the print which it produces, Woodburytype was invented and patented by Walter B. Woodbury in 1864. A photomechanical process, Woodbury type prints are made from exposing a dichromate-sensitized sheet of gelatin to UV light shining through a photographic negative. Each area of the gelatin hardens to a depth in proportion to the amount of exposure to the light before it is then soaked in warm water. The relief image is then pressed onto a sheet of lead to create an intaglio metal printing plate. Fine .
