‎TICHBORNE CASE ""Twenty Years After"" Roger Tichborne was lost A.D. 1854 the Claimant was lost A.D. 1874.‎

‎Title from artist's caption. London : Albert Mendelssohn 1874. Albumen print photograph of a satirical cartoon artist's monogram W.R. in the image carte de visite format 103 x 63 mm mount recto with the artist's printed caption to lower margin; verso with wet stamp of 'Albert Mendelssohn Publisher London'; in fine condition. The case of the Tichborne claimant produced two of the most celebrated British trials of the nineteenth century. In 1865 the false claimant in the case an impostor called Arthur Orton who was living in Wagga Wagga under the name Tom Castro claimed that he was in fact the English aristocrat Sir Roger Tichborne who had supposedly been lost at sea some ten years earlier. Although the massive inheritance had passed in the meantime to Sir Roger's younger brother and nephew Sir Roger's mother the Dowager Lady Tichborne refused to believe that her elder son was dead. It was in response to Lady Tichborne's persistent enquiries for confirmation that her son might still be alive that Orton made his claim to the Tichborne baronetcy through a lawyer. In spite of the fact that he bore little resemblance to Sir Roger and could not speak a word of French whereas Sir Roger was fluent Lady Tichborne paid for his passage back to England in order to be reunited with him. Bizarrely she accepted him as her son as did several of Tichborne's old acquaintances. Orton was duly given an annual allowance of £1000. However following Lady Tichborne's death in 1868 a group of family members and friends of Sir Roger began to seriously challenge the claimant's identity. It was discovered that his real name was Arthur Orton and that he was a butcher's son from Wapping. In 1871 after a 102 day trial to determine his true identity Orton was charged with perjury and in 1874 after another marathon 188 day trial he was found guilty of this charge and sentenced to 14 years' hard labour. In his penurious final years he gave a full written confession which he strangely later retracted before his death in 1898. This commercial carte de visite-format satirical cartoon was produced for an eager and fascinated public at the end of the second trial by the London publisher Albert Mendelssohn. It appears much scarcer than other cartoons in the same format that were published by Mendelssohn at different stages of the Tichborne Affair: Trove locates no examples of ""Twenty Years After"" in Australian libraries. unknown‎

He was the most prominent advocate for the music of J.S. Bach reviving the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 and helped to reestablish the oratorio by providing two superb examples: St. Paul 1836 and Elijah 1846.<br/><br/>"From Bach's Passions and Handel's oratorios Mendelssohn borrowed the use of the traditional narrator to relate in recitatives the dramatic action of the work. Conspicuously Bachian are the chorales interspersed throughout the oratorio to demarcate the principal structural divisions diffusing according to Carl Klingemann 'a calmness through the whole'. On the other hand a debt to Handel is revealed in the rich variety of the choruses which include several that directly engage in the dramatic action and several cast in a variety of fugal styles. Prefacing the oratorio is an overture that evokes Paul's struggle for spiritual awakening by means of the chorale Wachet auf and a dissonant fugue with its subject derived from the first strain of the chorale."
