About the Item
Victorian sterling silver baby cup. Made by Robert Harper in London in 1871. Baluster bowl on raised foot; wrapped and bracketed double-scroll handle with graduated beading. Chased and engraved scene from Robinson Crusoe: In the foreground stands the hero in the baggy garb of a marooned islander. He holds a long gun with more survival tools—including a hatchet—slipped under his belt. He points to a group of people in the distance. The beneficiary of his observation is Friday, the captive indigene he rescued from cannibals. An adaptation after Alexander Francis Lydon (1836-1917), who had illustrated Defoe's classic novel less than a decade before in the 1860s. One conspicuous change: Friday is made to look more indigenous in a loin cloth rather than the European garb he is portrayed wearing by Lydon. Bosky frame with engraved christening presentation dated 1873. Interior gilt-washed. Fully marked. Weight: 5.3 troy ounces.

* This period of history saw the co-reign of King William III and Queen Mary II from 1689 until her death in 1694. Mary was the princess royal and daughter of Charles I and William III, who was also known as William of Orange, was the sovereign Prince of Orange from birth, Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, and Overijssel in the Dutch Republic from the 1670s.
NOTE: After surviving the Great Fire of London the records at the London Assay office were destroyed by fire in 1681; their catalogues and documentation began again in 1697. Due to this unfortunate event we are unable to associate a maker to this mug.
