Testimonial to Mr. Fuller, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Testimonial to Mr. Fuller, 1858. The testimonial which we have engraved was intended to be presented to the late Mr. Eliott Fuller, but, his death occurring before the completion of the work, it was decided by the subscribers that it should be presented to his son, Mr. Fuller Meyrick, as a memento of their admiration for his father. The group represents a party of hop-gatherers during the harvest, from sketches made upon the spot by Mr. Gastenau. The figures are particularly happy, and the different implements used by the labourers are exact models of the originals. As a work of art it is worthy of notice, and reflects much credit on the manufacturers, Messrs. Widdowson and Veale, Strand. The testimonial bears the following inscription: "To Augustus Eliott Fuller (of Rose Hill) Esq. from a number of the Electors of the Eastern Division of the County of Sussex, in testimony of the honest and unfailing performance of his duties as Member for East Sussex, from August 1841, to March 1857'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Testimonial to Mr. Fuller," dates back to 1858. The image was intended as a testimonial to be presented to the late Eliott Fuller, but unfortunately, he passed away before its completion. In lieu of Mr. Fuller, the subscribers decided to present it to his son, Mr. Fuller Meyrick, as a heartfelt memento of their admiration for his father. The group depicted in the print portrays a lively gathering of hop-pickers during the harvest season. The sketches for this piece were made on location by the skilled artist, Mr. Gastenau. The figures are rendered with great joy and the various tools used by the laborers are accurate representations of the originals. As a work of art, this print is truly noteworthy and a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the manufacturers, Messrs. Widdowson and Veale, based in the Strand. The testimonial bears the following inscription: "To Augustus Eliott Fuller (of Rose Hill) Esq. from a number of the Electors of the Eastern Division of the County of Sussex, in testimony of the honest and unfailing performance of his duties as Member for East Sussex, from August 1841, to March 1857." This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the daily lives of hop-pickers during the Victorian era. The print is a beautiful tribute to Mr. Fuller's service as a Member of Parliament and serves as a reminder of the admiration and respect he earned from his constituents.
