Poor Jack

Hand-coloured. [probably the frontspiece to Marryat's 'Poor Jack', 1840, for which the model was reported to me by the late Anthony Mattei - a Stanfield descendant - to have been said in the family to have been the artist's third (second surviving) son James Field Stanfield (1830-71). He later emigrated to Buenos Aires where he married and was partner in a firm called 'Semple and Stanfield', but both he and his wife died in a yellow fever outbreak in 1871. PvdM]
