Testimonial to Mr. Fuller, 1858. 'The testimonial which we have engraved was intended to be presented to the late Mr. Eliott Fuller, but, his death occurring before the completion of the work, it was decided by the subscribers that it should be presented to his son, Mr. Fuller Meyrick, as a memento of their admiration for his father. The group represents a party of hop-gatherers during the harvest, from sketches made upon the spot by Mr. Gastenau. The figures are particularly happy, and the different implements used by the labourers are exact models of the originals. As a work of art it is worthy of notice, and reflects much credit on the manufacturers, Messrs. Widdowson and Veale, Strand. The testimonial bears the following inscription: "To Augustus Eliott Fuller (of Rose Hill) Esq., from a number of the Electors of the Eastern Division of the County of Sussex, in testimony of the honest and unfailing performance of his duties as Member for East Sussex, from August 1841, to March 1857'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
