Description: UP FOR AUCTION: ELIZABETH WADSWORTH (Mrs. Charles Augustus Murray) old color lithograph portrait from an 1834 original painting by Thomas Sully. This is a vintage lithograph. It measures about 7 inches long by 4.5 inches wide. The actual color portrait is 3.5" by 3". It could be mounted and framed. Sir Charles Augustus Murray PC KCB (1806 – 1895) was a British author and diplomat. Murray spent several years travelling across Europe and America from 1835 and 1838, where he fell in love with Elizabeth "Elise" Wadsworth (1815 - 1851). Wadsworth was a daughter of New York landowner James Wadsworth. James Wadsworth did not approve. After Elizabeth Wadsworth's father James Wadsworth died in 1844, Murray married Elise on 12 December 1850 during a visit to Scotland while he was counsel-general in Cairo. After they married, the couple returned to Egypt together. She died on 8 December 1851 shortly after giving birth to their only child. (from Wikipedia) Thomas Sully (1783 – 1872) was an American portrait painter in the United States. Born in Great Britain, he lived most of his life in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He painted the portrait of Elise Wadsworth in 1834. The portrait is a beautiful, color lithograph of a lovely American woman from 1834. EXCELLENT Condition: This chromolithograph was removed from a broken, antique book. It has its original tissue guard (which identifies the portrait). The litho is very clean and sharp, and it has never been mounted or framed. Please visit my other auctions.
