September 1863." A Manuscript Illuminated Testimonial. 25" x 19.5". gilt and coloured inks on parchment, mounted on original wood stretcher, with the label of "William Blanford, Picture Frame Maker, etc., London." The testimonial includes a list of ninety-one contributors, headed by The Earls of Brownlow, and Lonsdale, and members of the Rothschild family, all written in an impressive style.

Today it is quite unbelievable that anyone could be enthusiastic about the management of their local railway station. A unique and delightful piece of history.
