Lady Billiard Player (Julia Tichborne). A pair of lithographs depicting a female billiard player, possibly the wife of John Hubert Washington Hibbert, Julia Tichborne. They are probably by an amateur hand and are dated 1839, and have an inscription on them, although difficult to read. They are mounted and wrapped in cellophane for protection, hence the reflections on the images. A nice pair of billiard images with an unusual subject. The inscription is something like 'Washington Hibbert's wife 1838 Bilton Grange'. John Hubert Washington Hibbert, in 1839 aged thirty-five, married Julia Tichborne, the third daughter of Sir Henry Joseph Tichborne.

Abraham Hume inherited Bilton Grange from his father in 1794, and in 1819 Francis Smith referred to it as a 'handsome house'. Hume was, however, forced to take a series of mortgages on the estate in the early C19, and in 1839 it was let to Capt John Washington Hibbert, his widowed mother, and his elder brother Thomas, described as 'lunatic' (Edwards 1996). Hibbert (1805-75) was the son of a Jamaican plantation owner, and cousin of George Hibbert, MP (1757-1837), described by J C Loudon as an encourager 'of exotic botany' (Loudon 1822). Hibbert married in 1839 Julia Talbot (nee Titchbourne), widow of Lt Col Charles Talbot, brother of the fifteenth Earl of Shrewsbury...
