Emmerson, a small but evidently skilful London printer, very fine, unusual and a nice example Outing unlisted £80-£100 --- Charles Sinclair was a China and Glass merchant, running a successful business, first at 69 Old Street, and later also at 3 City Road in Finsbury. He was active in local politics, being on the committee for the 1859 election in Finsbury. He exhibited glass chandeliers and lustres at the International Exhibition in 1862.
