In den WarenkorbPastel. Glazed in the orig. contemp. giltwood frame; some light wear to extremities. Image approx. 61 x 51 cm A very nice large head-&-shoulders portrait of James White, 1775-1820, author and advertising agent. Born in Worcester, he spent his earliest days in the Malvern Hills, but in 1783 was admitted to Christ's Hospital on th…e presentation of Thomas Coventry. At school he cut something of a dandy: Leigh Hunt recalled 'admiring his handsome appearance, and unimprovable manner of wearing his new clothes'. His education ended in 1790, but he continued at Christ's Hospital, working as a clerk in the treasurer's office. A friendship with Charles Lamb, begun in their student days, now ripened. By the mid-1790s White was Lamb's 'most familiar friend'. Lamb introduced White to Shakespeare's Henry IV and White, a natural humorist, developed a powerful imaginative identification with Falstaff. He would 'talk to you nothing but pure Falstaff the long evenings through', and occasionally dressed up as Shakespeare's comic hero. He was even known among his friends as Sir John. This fascination with Falstaff culminated in Original Letters, &c. of Sir John Falstaff and his Friends from Genuine Manuscripts (1796), written with Lamb's assistance. The volume was designed as a humorous counterpart to William Henry Ireland's recent 'discovery' (i.e. forgery) of Shakespeare's manuscripts, though Lamb later liked to emphasise the purely literary value of the Letters, deriving, he said, 'from the fullness of a young soul, newly kindling at the Shakspearian flame, and bursting to be delivered of a rich exuberance of conceits'. Letters was not a success on first publication (although there were several posthumous editions) and appears to have been White's only attempt at authorship. In 1800 he founded an advertising agency in Warwick Square which moved to 33 Fleet Street about 1808, and became R. F. White & Son Ltd. This was, arguably, the first such agency to introduce the idea of writing copy for clients' advertisements. Tradition has it that James White was called on to place advertisements for the school and was thus pulled into the world of newspapers and advertising which had long centered around the taverns of Fleet street. Before long White found himself handling advertising for other people, he was able to operate this from his house which was next door to the school whilst continuing to work as a clerk in the treasurer's office. White had romantic ideas about the feasting practised in 'Old' England and took over Elizabeth Montagu's role as patron of May Day feasts for London's chimney sweepers. He served sausages instead of beef and pudding, acting as head waiter himself: Lamb's account of these merry occasions came in the form if his celebrated essay 'The praise of chimney-sweepers', which first appeared in the London Magazine in 1822, then in Essays of Elia. White married Margaret Faulder, 17921864, daughter of Robert Faulder, a bookseller, in 1811, and they had six children. He died at his house in Burton Crescent, London, on 13 March 1820, leaving a sizeable fortune, and was buried in Paddington churchyard. He was remembered as a man of unmatched good humour and drollness. In 1822 Lamb wrote of his friend: 'He carried away with him half the fun of the world when he died - of my world at least'. After his death, his business seems to have been initially managed by his wife, and was later taken over by his son Robert Faulder White. White's advertising agency, subsequently R.F. White & Son Ltd, remained in the hands of his family until the death of his great-grandson, Gilbert White, in 1962. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT at 20%.
