Condition: Good. Original colour lithograph. 13.5 x 8.5 inches, accompanied by 1 page of description. Very Good+. Published in Vanity Fair, 23 November 1872. Rev. Dr. Christopher Newman Hall LLB (22 May 1816 - 18 February 1902), born at Maidstone and known in later life as a 'Dissenter's Bishop', was one of the most celebrated nineteenth century English Nonconformist divines. He was active in social causes; supporting Abraham Lincoln and abolition of slavery during the American Civil War, the Chartist cause, and arranging for influential Nonconformists to meet Gladstone.
