- Music sheet for The Great Eastern Polka, by Charles Coote, which featured in the burlesque Aladdin, or The Wonderful Scamp, a burlesque by H.J. Byron at London's Strand Theatre in April 1861.
Hamerton's illustration on this music sheet depicts the S.S. Great Eastern, an iron sailing steam ship designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, nicknamed by him the 'Great Babe', and built by J. Scott Russell & Co. at Millwall on the River Thames, London. Launched in 1858, she was by far the largest ship ever built and had the capacity to carry 4,000 passengers from England to Australia without refuelling.
The composer Charles Coote (1808-80) and his son Charles Coote Jnr. (1831-1916) who wrote this music were very successful composers - Coote Jnr. so much that in 1875 he bought out his publishers Hopwood and Crew.

- Object name(s):
- watercolour on paper; drawing; Dawlish Warren, Devon; Dawlish Warren, Devon
- Brief description:
- At a time when people believed in the beneficial qualities of the seaside and when Britain was going to war with France, the English coast became more popular than abroad. In 1836, the year this watercolour was painted, Brunel surveyed a route across south Devon. He preferred to tunnel through the cliffs to avoid the sea wall. In 1846 the first passenger train ran.

- Text:
- The sitter John Callcott Horsley, who was the brother-in-law of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is perhaps best known for the fact that he designed the Worlds first commercial Christmas card for his friend Henry Cole, founder of the Victoria & Albert Museum. One thousand copies were published by Joseph Cundall, the mid 19th century children’s and illustrations publisher, and sold at Felix Summerly’s Home Treasury Office in Old Bond Street, England for one shilling each in 1843.
He was a friend of Alexander Macdonald who commissioned this painting and two other artists' portraits from Horsley as well as a subject painting, 'The Pet of the Common', all of which were also bequeathed to Aberdeen Art Gallery.
