Gioacchino Hierschel de Minerbi

Gioacchino Hierschel de Minerbi was born 18th March 1834 in Trieste, then the port of the Austrian Empire, the son of Leone Hierschel, a member of one of Trieste's leading Jewish families, and Clementina Minerbi. He had a sister, Ernesta, born in 1854, and also a Clara Zoe and possibly an Elodia; and a brother, Oscar, the diplomat. He trained as an artist, and spent his twenties and thirties painting in Holland, Dordrecht and Rotterdam and studying at the Academy in The Hague. It was whilst living here that he adopted the name Joachim Van Hier, signing all his works 'Van Hier'. He seems to have spent the latter years of his life in London, producing large numbers of picture postcards for Raphael Tuck and Sons painting under the name of Professor Van Hier, and working in the style of the Impressionists, helping to popularise their style to a wider audience. He specialised in sunsets, river scenes, often the Thames, views of Venice, dramatic stormy sea scenes and rural landscapes, with distinctive impasto techniques in his skies, and a typical use of yellow, and an individualistic representation of the human figure foreshadowing Lowry. He was living in St James, London, according to the 1881 census. He married Hannah Rawlinson in Brighton in 1893. He died in London on 23rd February 1905.

Addendum: I recently discovered that he married a second time at the end of his life. I shall try to add the details when I am in better health. 

Postscript 2019: I suspect that he was married but once to Hannah Rawlinson. I think Selina Curtis married Frederick Derviller.

La Famiglia Hierschel

Federica Vetta, in «Shalom Trieste»

Nell'anno 1833 l'architetto Antonio Buttazzoni puu' finalmente vedere conclusi i lavori di edificazione dell'ultimo impegnativo progetto che porta la sua firma. La casa, sita al numero 9 dell'antica via del Corso, gli e' stata commissionata dal facoltoso commerciante ebreo Moise' Hierschel. membro del 'Consiglio ferdinandeo', proprietario di diversi immobili sparsi in vari rioni della citta' - tra i quali il Teatro Grande che acquista nel 1835 dagli eredi del conte Antonio de Cassis Faraone - Moise' Hierschel sembra voler sancire con la costruzione di questa sua nuova dimora l'avvenuta acquisizione di un ben preciso status sociale ed economico. L'edificio, che e' destinato a restare una delle poche case di lusso della prima meta' dell'Ottocento e che ha certamente tutti i requisiti per essere considerato uno 'degli esempi piu' raffinati' del neoclassico triestino, si erge simbolicamente al confine tra la Cittavecchia - antica area del ghetto ebraico da dove la famiglia idealmente proviene - e il Borgo teresiano, estremo atto di razionalizzazione urbanistica che la Monarchia asburgica viene elaborando in quegli anni in questa richissima citta'-emporio, al cui sviluppo la famiglia Hierschel offre un suo contributo specifico.

Clementina de Minerbi

Sempre in questo stesso anno 1833, il giorno 22 del mese di febbraio, la famiglia Hierschel e' protagonista di un altro avvenimento destinato a lasciare il segno nelle cronache mondane della citta'. Il figlio di Moise', Leone, si unisce in matrimonio con Enrichetta Clementina, fiflia del cav. Caliman de Minerbi, membro del Consiglio Decennale della Comunita' israelitica, 'grande azionista e dirigente del settore assicurativo', attivo promotore della Societa' Filarmonico Drammatica di Trieste, istituzione destinata ad avere un ruolo decisamente rilevante nella vita culturale della citta'.

"Tra gli invitati, - si legge in una ricostruzione dell'evento - le autorita' ed i cittadini piu' cospicui. Mancava solo il governatore, ammalato, ma era presente la contessina sua figlia col fratello. davanti alla casa della sposa attendevano oltre quaranta carozze. Dopo la cerimonia ci fu un rinfresco e, mentre i cattolici presero congedo, gli ebrei continuarono a brindare per tutta la notte. La casa di Caliman de Minerbi era sorvegliata da sei guardie, convocate per proteggere i gioielli ed i regali, che insieme costituivano un tesoro... Le gioie che la sposa ricevette in dono dal marito erano stimate 79 mila fiorini. Da parte sua il vecchio Hierschel dono' al figliolo quale regalo di nozze, l'edificio della vecchia dogana e una grande casa sul Canale."

I festeggiamenti si protaggono per otto giorni. Il 25 febbraio ha luogo una grande accademia, nella quale si esibisce nel bel canto anche la stessa Clementina, allora allieva del maestro Adolfo Bassi, compositore napoletano di una certa notorieta;, approdato a Trieste come impresario del teatro Grande (del quale, lo ricordiamo ancora una volta, Moise' Hierschel e' proprietario) e animatore della sezione musicale della gia' citata Societa' Filarmonica Drammatica, in collaborazione con Alessandro Scaramelli e Giovanni Panizza.

Il salotto di Clementina Hierschel

Come ogni famiglia dell'alta borghesia, anche i coniugi Hierschel organizzano nella loro nuova dimora un salotto che nel giro di pochi anni diventa uno dei piu' ambiti ritrovi artistico-cultuali della citta'. Pittori, scultori e letterati sono sopiti fissi della coppia. Anche la musica ha naturalmente un suo ruolo importante. E' anzi proprio in nome del «far musica» che Clementina - come la maggior parte delle mogli e madri di famiglia del ceto alto-borghese triestino del tempo - conserva gelosamente erafforza, sul piano privato, quello stretto reticolo di relazioni tra famiglie d'élite che Leone intesse sul piano pubblico degli affari da un lato e della sociabilita' dall'altro (non dimentichiamo infatti che come il suocero Caliman de Minerbi prima di lui, anche leone prendera' parte attiva alla direzione della Societa' Filarmonica Drammatica, facendosi eleggere nel 1837 nel suo consultorio).

'Brillante era in quegli anni a Trieste il salotto di Clementina Minerbi... Nel suo palazzo sul Corso... conveniva intorno a questa signora, di sensibile intelligenza e di versatile cultura, il fiore delle dame triestine: la bellissima Elisa de parente-Morpurgo, Clorinda e Carolina Sartorio, Erissena Simeoni-Cappelletti, Giuseppina Cappeller-Rossi, Elena Goracuchi, tutte appassionate di musica, e ottime delettanti di clavicembalo e di canto".

Sono queste dame de destinatarie di molte pagine musicali prodotte a Trieste in quel periodo. In particolare a Clementina Hierschel de Minerbi vengono dedicate le composizioni di autori quali, a titolo di esempio,. G. Gajani, Luigi Sartori, Giuseppe Alessandro Scaramelli, Giovanni Panizza. Sempre a Clementina Hierschel viene dedicato anche un 'Andante sentimentale per pianoforte' dal titolo Affetti Materni op.33, che Luigi Milella compone 'in occasione - questo e' quanto si legge sul frontespizio dello spartito - delle faustissime Nozze / della Nobil Sig.na / Elodia de Hierschel / col sig. cav. Enrico de Morpurgo'. Ancora alla figlia di Clementina, Clara Zoe, Antonio Freschi dedica un capriccio per violino e pianoforte dal titolo Festa campestre.
Certo, tutte queste -  salvo rare eccezioni - non sono che composizioni d'occasione, che non vanno aldila' di un convenzionale stile salottiero, decisamente poco rilevanti da un punto di vista squisitamente musicale. Tuttavia esse rappresentano, assieme alla frequenza con la quale il nome Hierschel viene associato agli eventi musicali della citta'. la prova piu' tangibile della centralita' che la famiglia assume nel panorama musicale e culturale cittadino. In questo senso non poco contano da un lato il possesso da parte della famiglia dell'edificio del teatro, dall'altro la sua 'militanza' in ruoli direttivi all'interno della Societa' Filarmonico Drammatica. In ogni caso, non secondaria e' proprio la rilevanza del salotto di Clementina come polo di attrazione dei ceti sociali piu' elevati, come centro di promozione e propagazione di tutte le arti.

Teatro Verdi, Trieste

Destinato a sostituire il piccolo, settecentesco Teatro San Pietro, il Teatro che il 24 aprile 2001 festeggia il suo bicentenario, fu edificato nel periodo che vide la conflittuale alternanza delle occupazioni franco-napoleoniche e del potere absburgico.

1798 - Giannantonio Selva, Progetto per la costruzione del Teatro Nuovo, per conto del Sig. Giovanni Matteo Tomasini. Sezione longitudinale (Archivio Storico dell'Ufficio Tecnico Comunale di Trieste)

La sua storia ha inizio infatti nel 1798 quando il rappresentante del Granducato di Toscana a Trieste - il commerciante Gian Matteo Tommasini - cede la proprietà del terreno al Conte Cassis-Faraone, primo proprietario del Teatro, che nel 1835 passerà a Moisè Hierschel. Nel 1861 gli eredi Hierschel lo cedono al Comune.

1798 - Giannantonio Selva, Progetto per la costruzione del Teatro Nuovo, per conto del Sig. Giovanni Matteo Tomasini. Fianco, Prospetto verso mare, prospetto principale, prima proposta (Archivio Storico del Museo Correr)

Così l’edificio inaugurato come Teatro Nuovo e divenuto Teatro Grande nel 1820, dal 1861 si chiamò Teatro Comunale, prima di assumere, alla morte del Maestro, il nome di Verdi.

1835 - Antonio Buttazzoni (attr.), proposta di riforma del Teatro Nuovo per conto del Sig. Matteo Hierschel. Abbozzo, Pianta del primo e del piano terreno (Archivio Storico dell'Ufficio Comunale di Trieste)

Contrastata è la genesi architettonica alla quale concorrono sia Gian Antonio Selva (lo stesso della “Fenice” di Venezia) autore del disegno generale e dell’interno, sia Matteo Pertsch, cui si deve la progettazione definitiva della facciata, memore del Piermarini (l’architetto della Scala) più volte interpellato come consulente.

1848 - Nicolò Pertsch dis., Broili del. Veduta prospettica del Teatro Nuovo. (Coll. priv.)

Complessa è la storia delle decorazioni interne e dei periodici restauri, l’ultimo dei quali risale al 1992-1997 con la ristrutturazione dell’intero edificio storico, che ha recuperato l’aspetto originario della sala.

1882 - (ante), La facciata verso il mare del Teatro Comunale vista dal molo San Carlo (civici Musei di Storia ed Arte di Trieste)

Dalla originaria illuminazione a candele e ad olio, il teatro è passato nel 1846 alla illuminazione a gas, e nel 1889 alla luce elettrica. Dai 1400 posti del 1801 è passato ai 2000/2100 (in buona parte “in piedi”) di fine ottocento. Dopo un lungo periodo di agibilità ridotta a un migliaio di posti, il “Verdi” ha attualmente, a seguito dell’ultima ristrutturazione, la capienza originale di circa 1400 posti.

Il Teatro Lirico "Giuseppe Verdi" ai giorni nostri

Altrettanto complesse sono le vicende che hanno attraversato la vita artistica del Teatro: dalle fortune e dalle sfortune degli impresari privati ottocenteschi alla costituzione dell’Ente autonomo nel 1936 (sovrintendente Giuseppe Antonicelli, con l’interregno postbellico di Cesare Barison), fino alla recente Fondazione.

Obituary: Carlo Alberto Chiesa
Nicolas Barker

MILAN is a businesslike city; its streets do not encourage you to dally. But, as in other Italian cities, facades conceal graceful courtyards or, beyond, hidden gardens. 11 Via Bigli is like this, except that on the far side of its courtyard the door gives on to, first, an anteroom featuring a large wooden architectural model of a Renaissance cupola and with beautiful documents framed on the walls, and then a large room shelved on three sides, and dominated by a long high table, strewn with books, carefully chosen to catch your eye or taste, and other objects, some exquisitely made of glass.This, for more than 40 years, was the "Studio" of Carlo Alberto Chiesa, for almost as long one of the dominant figures in the European old book trade. He was born in 1926, the son of Pietro Chiesa, who was a famous designer of glass (hence the pieces on the table), a commanding figure in the applied arts and founder of the "Fontana Arte" group. He was also a great collector of everything except books, and his son inherited his connoisseur's eye.
Growing up in the Second World War, a law student just after it, Chiesa found his vocation at Paris, whither he went in 1949. He haunted the Parisian bookshops, notably that of Marc Loliee, who became his friend and mentor. He earned the respect of the legendary Galanti, then in his apartment in Montmartre, where every piece of furniture, even the bath, useless since there was nothing to heat the water, was full of books. Chiesa had an intuitive sense of the importance and tactile qualities of books, so much so that he could buy a book in one shop and sell it on to another, making a profit on what he could see and others had missed. In 1953 he returned home to Milan, first to the Piazza Sant' Erasmo, and then in 1956 to the Via Bigli. It was never, in any ordinary sense, a shop. As in Paris, his idea was to find the books he liked and then to put them in the hands of those who would appreciate them as much as he did. His discretion, equally, was complete; without concealing his customers' identity, he never discussed their affairs or interests unless required to do so. But no major buyer could afford to ignore him, since his grasp of the market, not only for Italian books of all periods (though that was his staple) but any fine book, was powerful. If private collectors benefited most from his taste and ability, he also admired the great public collections. As a loyal Milanese, the Biblioteca Ambrosiana had first call on his expertise, and successive Prefects owed much to his help. The late Franklin D. Murphy esteemed him, and the wonderful library of early Italian books that bears Murphy's name at the University of California at Los Angeles owes much to Chiesa's wise counsel. Since the late 1950s and the Dyson Perrins sales, Chiesa was a notable presence at almost every important sale, although he disliked publicity and preferred to buy as well as sell privately. But Christie's sale of the Feltrinelli collection two months ago was a challenge he could not refuse; though mortally ill, he triumphed once again. Chiesa did not deal just in grand books; he could see the delight of quiet humble ephemera. It was the same with people; he was hospitable to all, though his first love was for his wife and family, with whom he went climbing in the Dolomites every year. Nicolas Barker Carlo Alberto Chiesa, bookseller: born Milan 17 September 1926; married 1961 Elena de Hierschel de' Minerbi (four sons); died Milan 25 January 1998.

Hierschl-Minerbi, Joachim (Maler, geb. Zu Triest 18. März 1834). Der Sohn wohlhavender jüdischer Eltern, welche in Triest sesshaft sind, wo auch Joachim seine künstlerische Ausbildung erhalten hat. Seine ersten Lehrer waren Merlato und Fiedler [Bd. IV, S. 225] in Triest, später in Wien van Haanen [Bd VI, S. 100] und Püttner, auch besuchte er die Kunstakademien zu Venedig, Mailand und Florenz. Reben der Oel- und Aquarellmalerei verlegte sich H. auch auf die Lithographie und Radirkunst. In Wien erscheint H. zuerst mit seinen Gemälden im Jahre 1856 in den Austellungen des österreichischen Kunstvereins und in nämlichen Jahre auch in der Kunstaustellung zu Mailand. Seit dieser Zeit hat er die Monatsaustellungen des erstgenannten Vereins in bald grösseren bald kleineren Zwischenräumen immer wieder beschickt. Es waren daselbst ausgestellt: 1856, im März: “Canol-Landschaft im Mondlicht”; - im Juli: “Landschaftbild an der dalmatinischen Küste”; - im August ein zweites Motiv derselben Küstengegend; - im December: “Umgebung von Bagni bei Lucca; - 1857, im Jänner: “Canal-Partie” (vom Kunstvereine angekauft um 65 fl.); - “Nach dem regen” vom Kunstvereine angekauft um 75 fl.); - “Abendlandschaft”; - im März: “Ideale Landschaft”; - “Sonnenuntergang”; - 1858, im Februar: “Nach dem Gewitter”; - im Juni: “Ein Morgen”; - “Insel Murano bei Venedig”; - 1859, “Partie aus der Umgebung Wiens”, - “Am Lido von Venedig”; - 1860: “Partie an der Donau bei Wien”. Die angeführten Bilder sind in den Ausellungen gewöhnlich als unverkäuflich bezeichnet. Von anderen Bildern H.’s sind anzuführen: Donaugegend, im Besitze des herzogs von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha, von Canadelli gestochen; eine zweite von der Akademie der Künste in Venedig 1861 angekauft; - zwei Canal-Landschaften aus Venedig, beide im Besitze der Frau Herzogin von Parma; - verschiedene Ansichten des Lago di Como, Lago maggiore, aus Friaul, Istrien, Dalmatien, Ungarn, Veduten von Triest und Schönbrunn, viele kleinere Marinen, Canal-partien u. dgl. M. Auch hat er eine Sammlung von Ansichten aus den verschiedenen Provinzen des Kaiserstaates lithographirt. In jeder Folge von Bildern, welche einer Provinz angehören, soll der landschaftliche Charakter derselben dargestellt werden. Vollendet ist ferner eine Reihe von Aquarellen, Eisenbahnstationen auf der Strecke Wien-Triest darstellend. Im Jahre 1856 erschien auch das Werk: “Collection des gravures à l’eau forte composees et gravees par J. Hierschl” (Wien, M. Auer, Fol.). Es ist diess eine Serie von 30 Blättern, deren jades mit dem Monogramm H.’s bezeichnet ist und worin alle verschiedenen Radirungsmethoden dargestellt werden, nämlich die freie radirung mit Rouleau, mit halber und mit ganzer Aquatinte u. s. w., und zwar so, dass immer einige Blätter bloss in der einen von den angeführten Methoden ausgeführt sind. Die Wahl der Motive wechselt; es sind flache und gebirgige Landschaften, Wald- und Canalpartien, Abendlandschaften, Mondschein, Figurenbilder u. dgs. M., und der figuralische Theil ist durch verschiedene Scenen aus dem Alltagsleben vertreten. Dem Werke ist als instructiver Theil beigegeben ein “Aperçu historique et scientifique sur l’histoire et les procedes de la gravure à l’eau forte”, worin in Kürze, aber doch dem eiwas pomphaften Titel nicht entsprechend, die geschichte der Kupferstecherei nebst den verschiedenen Methoden des Radirens abgehandelt wird. Anlässlich dieses Werkes, welches H. an mehrere Regenten geschicht, wurde er von denselben, wie von Belgien, Portugal, Parma mit Ordern, von Toscana, Griechenland mit medaillen ausgezeichnet. H. ist Mitglied dr Akademie der schönen Künste in Venedig und in Parma, thätiges Mitglied mehrerer anderer Vereine und steht an der Spitze des Auschuffes zur Errichtung des Reffel-Monuments in Triest. In Freiburg erwarb er sich die philosophische Doctorwürde. Seit einigen Jahren lebt er in Wien.


Hierschl-Minerbi, Joachim (painter, born in Trieste on March 18 1834). The son of wealthy Jewish parents, who are settled in Trieste, where Joachim received his artistic training. His first teachers were Merlato and Fiedler [Bd IV, p. 225] in Trieste, later in Vienna van Haanen [Bd VI, p. 100] and Püttner, he also attended the art academies in Venice, Milan and Florence. Efforts of oil and watercolour paintings are moved to the H. lithography and Radirkunst. In Vienna H. appears first with his paintings in 1856 in the Austrian art exhibitions of the association and same years also in the art exhibition in Milan.

Josef Ressel




Text je z převážné části upravenou verzí úvodní stati publikace Dr. Jiřího Charváta a Mgr. Pavla Kobetiče "Josef Ressel a Chrudim", vydané roku 1987 chrudimským muzeem; stať o literárním ztvárnění osobnosti J. Ressela zpracoval PhDr. Miroslav Bastl, CSc.,


Dle matriky pokřtěných římskokatolického (tehdy děkanského) úřadu v Chrudimi se Josef Ludvík František Ressel narodil dne 29. června 1793 v domě čp. 124/I v Chrudimi v Široké ulici. Resselovi rodiče Antonín Heřman Ressel a Marie Anna, rozená Konvičková, se přistěhovali do Chrudimě zatím neznámo odkud - podle literatury někdy v roce 1791 nebo 1792, kdy se Resselův otec stal v Chrudimi výběrčím mýta a nápojové daně. To již měli syna Františka Antonína, narozeného 17. 1. 1791 v Čížkovicích (okres Litoměřice). Kromě Josefa se Antonínu Heřmanovi a Marii Anně Resselovým narodily v Chrudimi i dvě dcery, a to Viktorie (nar. 16. 2. 1795) a Marie (nar. 15. 5. 1797).



K slavnosti byl pozván i terstský Komitét pro postavení Resselova pomníku, jehož tříčlenná delegace vedená předsedou dr. Jáchymem, rytířem Hierschel-Minerbim, se do Chrudimě - jako host města - dostavila se synem Josefa Ressela, Jindřichem Resselem, který byl městem rovněž pozván a který se již tehdy velmi činně angažoval spolu s Cervo Reggiem pro uznání Resselovy priority vynálezu lodního šroubu a pro uctění jeho památky (názvem veřejného prostranství, postavením pomníku apod.).

Summary by Ladislav Rezucha:

The article is a biography of Josef Ressel (Czech inventor, who invented screw propeller for boats).

In the summer of 1861 Dr Joachim, knight Hierschel-Minerbi, chairman of the Ressel Monument Committee in Trieste (now Italy), was invited with two other Committee members and Ressel's son Jindrich (or Friedrich in German) by the town of Chrudim for unveiling a memorial plaque on the house where Ressel was born. This large celebration took place on 29/06/1861 - the day of his birthday - which ended with a banquet on Strelecky Island. On this occasion, Jindrich Ressel was offered Honorary Freemanship.

Some clarification: Ressel lived in Trieste where he carried out his experiments but is buried in Ljubljana (capital of Slovenia), where he died during an official trip. Many of Trieste's citizens were honoured by the fact that they lived in the same town as such a great inventor and wanted to erect a monument to him. They elected a Monument Committee, who failed to carry out the task, because of the opposition of people who considered Ressel as Austrian and the enemy. That is why his bronze monument was erected in Vienna instead.

Josef Ludvík František Ressel (in Czech) or Joseph Ludwig Franz Ressel (in German) or Josip Ressel (in Slovenian and Croatian) (June 29, 1793- October 9, 1857) was a Bohemian forest warden and the inventor of the ship's propeller.

Ressel was born in Chrudim, Bohemia, and worked as a forest engineer in Motovun, Istria (modern-day Croatia). He worked in Kostanjevica on the Krka river (modern-day Slovenia then Austrian Empire) where he tested his ship propellers for the first time. He relocated to Trieste (modern-day Italy, then Austrian Empire) where his tests were successful. He was awarded the propeller patent in 1827. He modified a small steam-powered boat Civeta by 1829 and test-drove it in the Trieste harbor at six knots before the steam conduits exploded. Because of this misfortune, the police banned further testing.

As early as 1804, the American John Fitch is credited with a screw propeller, which was unsuccessful. In 1836, the Englishman Francis Petit Smith tested a screw propeller similar to Ressel's. The first cross-Atlantic journey of a ship powered by a screw-propeller was in 1839, with Ressel's screw improved by the Swedish engineer John Ericsson. The propeller screw design stabilized in the 1880s.

Among other Ressel's inventions are pneumatic post and ball and cylinder bearings. He was granted numerous patents during his life.

He died in Ljubljana and is buried in the Navje cemetery.


150. Todestag von Josef Ressel




Josef Ressel, Erfinder und Forstmann, starb vor 150 Jahren am 9. Oktober 1857. Er absolvierte die Forstakademie in Mariabrunn bei Wien, wo jetzt ein Ressel-Denkmal steht und Institute des Bundesforschungs- und Ausbildungszentrums für Wald, Naturgefahren und Landschaft (BFW) untergebracht sind. Ressel fiel in der Forstakademie durch hervorragende Leistungen auf, hatte schnell unter den Mitschülern eine Führungsrolle inne und wurde von einigen seiner Lehrern besonders gefördert.

Wiederbewaldung des Karstes mit EicheRessel war ein typischer Altösterreicher: geboren 1793 in Böhmen, Jugend in Linz und Wien, vierzigjährige berufliche Tätigkeit, durchwegs im Forstbereich, in Unterkrain, Triest, Montana in Istrien und Venedig. Er kartierte unter anderem die Görzer und Flitscher Wälder, befasste sich mit den Problemen der Wiederbewaldung des Karstes und entwickelte eine Methode zur Bekämpfung des Borkenkäfers. Der gewissenhafte Forstmann Ressel hatte ständig Ideen, die er in die Tat umsetzte: einen Entfernungsmesser, einfache Pressen und – natürlich - die Schiffsschraube.

His Landlord


Richard Drummond appears to have been a scion of the family of Hawthorndean or Hawthornden, near Edinburgh. The Drummonds were baronets.

"HAWTHORNDEAN, a hamlet in the county Edinburgh, Scotland, 6 miles S. of Edinburgh. It is a station on the Edinburgh and Peebles section of the North British railway. Hawthorndean House is situated on the river Esk, near Roslin Castle, and belongs to the Drummonds, whose ancient seat is still standing. It was visited by Queen Victoria in 1848, and contains some fine portraits and the dress worn by Charles Stuart in 1745. It was here that Ben Jonson visited W. Drummond, the poet and historian."

A Neighbour?
