Description

Welcome and Thank you for Stopping By...
I Combine Shipping. Please request an invoice with combined shipping BEFORE YOU PAY.  DO NOT pay the invoice automatically generated by Ebay.  Since your payment automatically now goes directly into my checking account, even if you pay through paypal, I need to figure out if there is a way to give refunds.
For your consideration is a Civil War Era CDV of a lovely woman.  She has her right hand on the foot of the statue on the table next to her and is holding a letter that she appears to be intently reading, in her left hand.  She is wearing a fine dress with an extremely full skirt, please enlarge the listing pictures for a closer look.  This picture came from the Charrington Album.
The company was formed in
Bethnal Green
in the early 18th century by Robert Westfield. He is known to have been a member of the
Brewers' Company
from 1738. In 1757, Joseph Moss became a partner, and the brewery moved to new premises at Anchor Brewery in
Mile End
. In 1766, John Charrington, who had brewed with Hale brewers in
Islington
, became third partner in the company, which then traded as Westfield, Moss & Charrington. Westfield retired in 1769, and his share in the partnership was purchased by Charrington. After Moss retired in 1783, Charrington and his brother, Henry, were in full control of the business. Henry (Harry) lived at
Malplaquet House
, 137-139 Mile End Road, from 1794-1833.
By 1807/8, they were the second largest brewers in London, producing 20,252 barrels of beer per year. Following Charrington's death in 1815, the business was continued by his brother and his son, Nicholas, who had joined the partnership in 1806.
