After Lemuel 'Francis' Abbott (British, 1760-1803) - a portrait miniature of Admiral Horatio Nelson in full uniform, oval watercolour on ivory, indistinctly signed, 5.2 x 6.3cm, in a hallmarked silver frame, the reverse inscribed 'Sir Charles Shelley Bart 1838-1902'. Ivory Registration No: 8F4C5M2T * No cracks, splits or chips visible to the ivory. The ivory oval does not fit the frame perfectly - there is a gap showing the red backing at the top and bottom edge - the miniature is therefore probably not original to the frame. Clear marks to frame and just one small ding below the marks. The silver slip around the edge of the glass stands proud to the right hand side but almost flush with the frame to the left side (probably from when the miniature was mounted in the frame).
Frankenstein Playbills. Presumption! Or, The Fate of Frankenstein. Thirteenth Time, Theatre Royal, English Opera House, Strand, This Evening, Tuesday, August 12th, 1823, printed letterpress playbill, advertising as the headline production the thirteenth performance of the first play to dramatize Mary Shelley's novel, with an seven-line quotation from the preface to the novel, featuring Mr Wallack as Frankenstein, Mr Rowbotham as De Lacey, Mr T. P. Cooke (as the monster), Mr Pearman, Mrs. Austin, Miss L. Dance, et al., also advertising performances of Is He Jealous? and “I Will Have a Wife!”, together with another similar Theatre Royal playbill for Monday, 18 August 1823, listing the eighteenth performance of Presumption! Or, The Fate of Frankenstein as the third act of the evening, the first two starring [Charles] Mathews in The Polly Packet and Monsieur Tonson, both playbills printed in black on off-white thin wove paper, versos blank, 340 x 200 mmQTY: (2)NOTE:Presumption, a two-act play by Richard Brinsley Peake, was the first dramatisation based on Mary Shelley's anonymous novel to be performed on stage. It opened on 28 July 1823 at the English Opera House [Lyceum Theatre, where Bram Stoker was later to work] on the Strand, London. Peake took some liberties in his adaptation, adding several new characters including the first of Victor Frankenstein's various assistants. Notably, he also turned Mary Shelley's well-cultured monster into a mute and rather idiotic creature. On the playbill his character's name is simply represented by a series of dashes. For this first season James Wallack took the part of Doctor Frankenstein and Thomas Potter Cooke the part of the monster.Mary Shelley had mixed feelings about the play when it opened but, echoing Lord Byron, wrote: 'But lo and behold I found myself famous! Frankenstein had prodigious success as a drama and was about to be repeated for the twenty-third night at the English Royal Opera House'. Mary Shelley herself attended a performance on 29 August 1823. Whatever Mary Shelley's misgivings, having concluded 'the story is not well managed', the public were smitten and undeterred by controversy and protests against its attack on the Christian faith. Indeed, by 1826 there were said to have been about fifteen play versions based to some extent on Shelley's novel. First published anonymously in 1818, the second edition of Shelley's novel Frankenstein was issued on 11 August 1823, (the day before this 13th performance of Peake’s play), this time printing Mary Shelley's name as the author.
