ABBOTSFORD IS A HISTORIC COUNTRY HOUSE IN THE SCOTTISH BORDERS, near Galashiels, on the south bank of the River Tweed, BUILT AS THE RESIDENCE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT BETWEEN 1817 AND 1825. The delicate colours and the precise reflection of Terry's original in the fore-edge painting indicate that she might have executed it herself. *) There is an extensive article about the painting, Scott's compliment for it and its importance for the soon established fame of Abbotsford, the Terry's close relation to Scott as well as Daniel Terry's influence on the creation of Abbotsford, by Kirsty Archer-Thompson FSA Scot, the >Collections and Interpretation Manager at Abbotsford - The Home of Sir Walter Scott< on the website of 'EUROPEAN ROMANTICISMS IN ASSOCIATION. - A pan-European organization . . .'. --- Inner frontpanel with smaller round gilt-printed red 19th-century ex-libris 'Recte et Fideliter / Francis Gibson', perhaps the ''British banker and businessman (1805-1858), born in Saffron Walden, Essex, . . . one of the four Quaker founders of Middlesbrough who - with his wife - spent two months every summer'' in Balder Grange near Cotherstone, less than a hundred miles distance to Abbotsford. ''He enjoyed painting and, late in life, he built the Fry Art Gallery (1856), in Saffron Walden.''(see wikipedia); loosely inserted is an old sheet of paper (ca. 26 x 10 cm) with a total of 15 - partly difficult-to-read - manuscript ink lines of the period with religios and historic content referring to [Saffron-] Walden, the famous (oldest local, see wikipedia) Grammar School and Abbot John Hatfeld: ''1250 / In Festa Sancta / Maria[e?] Dedication(?) / . . . / Walden / . . . 8 Day of September. / Taken from a Book / of anon. . . [not 'anonymous', perhaps another expression with the same meaning] belonging / to the Grammar School / . . . 1603. / The Grammar School was / founded in the year / 1423 9th of Pope Martin / 5. / John Hatfeld / was then Abbot.'' followed by a later pencil name ''S Fisher Esq. M.S.''. --- THE BOOK IS ONLY SLIGHTLY USED AND CARRIES THE BEST ASSOCIATIONS TO THE AUTHOR AND ITS CONTENT.
