Anne Gliddon

Anne, whose nickname was Nanny, was the sister of Katherine (Kate) Gliddon, the wife of Thornton Leigh Hunt.

[1][2] Gliddon made a portrait of Leigh Hunt in 1841, a circulor pencil drawing enhanced with white.

[3] Among her landscapes is a lithograph made c. 1839, On the Road to the Port, South Australia, printed in the book The Adelaide story.

[11] The Gliddons lived in Mobile, Alabama for 12 months where George and Josiah C. Nott worked on their book Types of Mankind.

[1][16] George and a 17-year-old Henry A. Gliddon[17] went to the United States for Egyptology lecture series in major cities like Boston, New York, Charleston, and Philadelphia from October 1846 until August 1848.

[21] George Robbins Gliddon worked with a group of railroad men from Philadelphia on building a railway line that crossed the Isthmus of Panama, reducing the amount of time to around South America to the Pacific Ocean.

The collection includes reproductions of works from auction catalogs and books, in black and white photographs and negatives.
