| Description |
Half morocco with marbled boards. Leather ownership label of Ellen Frances Wilmot (1819-1874) who married William Morritt in 1837. The first composition in the volume, Cintra, appears to have interesting associations: "The first occupant, and possibly owner, Antonio Joaquim Freire Marreco (1787-1850) was an interesting fellow. Born in Portugal, Maerreco left for Brazil in 1808, together with King João VI and the Portuguese Court, who fled the invading Napoleonic troops and settled in Rio de Janeiro. In 1820, the King returned to Portugal and Marreco returned with him. He left for England in the early 1820s and set up in business as a wine importer with William Harrison and his son, a railway engineer. Business apparently prospered and by 1825 he had moved into a newly built cottage, "Cintra" (long the home of Portugal's monarchs). Apparently a portuguese composer composed some piano music with the title "Cintra" and dedicated it to him. Perhaps Marreco moved into "Cintra" because he was feeling flush following some news from Portugal and published in the Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser on 13 August 1825: "The Portuguese government has published decree, declaring that it is not convenient for it to continue the working of the coal mines, "already discovered, which may be discovered," in the kingdom of Algarve. Permission is granted to certain persons, who are named, to work them. Two of the parties, Antonio Joaciuim Freire Marreco, and Henrico Jose ua Silva, are described as Portuguese merchants in London"" (https://twitter.com/HistoryOfStokey/status/1081271330509598722). |
