William Gladstone Antique Signed Title Page, 19th Century

About the Item

A William Gladstone signed and inscribed title page. William Gladstone is the only person to serve four terms as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He was first elected in 1868 and turned 84 during his final term in 1894. In that time he pushed for fundamental reforms, including votes for women and independence for Ireland. He remains one of Britain’s most inspirational leaders. This is the front page of an auction catalogue dated January 30, 1893 – Gladstone’s final year as Prime Minister. Along the left hand margin Gladstsone has written “Please send … lots as usual and c.o. 10 Downing St.” Gladstone autographs that mention 10 Downing Street, his Prime Ministerial address, are highly prized. Below you’ll find an excellent Gladstone signature and the date. Gladstone was a keen antiquarian and amassed a vast library of books over the course of his lifetime. After his death he gifted it to the nation. You can visit it at his former home in Flintshire, Wales. Free global delivery. "Certificate of Authenticity" and our Lifetime Money back Guarantee of Authenticity included.

  • King Edward VII Authentic Strand of Hair, 19th Century / 20th Century
    Located in Jersey, GB
    Edward VII’s coronation took place in 1901, following the death of his mother Queen Victoria. He was 59 at the time and his reign was short, ending with his death in 1910. This brief period is known as the Edwardian era. This was a time when society underwent a dramatic change, with women and workers agitating for greater self-determination. It was also the end of the great European golden age known as the Belle Époque. The First World War (1914-1918) would drag the continent screaming into the 20th century. This authentic half inch strand of hair is from the head of King Edward VII (it was likely taken when he was the Prince of Wales). A marvellous curio that fits beautifully into any collection of royal memorabilia...
