EDITORS COMMENTS
This pair of Edwardian autograph pages bear the signatures of Lord Pirrie and Margaret Carlisle, two prominent figures in Belfast's maritime history. Lord Pirrie, signed on the larger page, is depicted in formal attire with a stern expression, reflecting his role as the powerful chairman of Harland and Wolff, the renowned shipbuilding firm. His signature is accompanied by an elegant floral design, possibly crocus blooms in shades of yellow and purple. Margaret Carlisle, later Viscountess Pirrie, graces the smaller page with her delicate signature and an intricate floral border. As the wife of Lord Pirrie, she was an influential figure in Belfast society and a patron of various charitable causes. The combination of these two signatures offers a unique glimpse into the lives of these historical figures and the social milieu of early 20th century Belfast. Measuring 16 inches by 12 inches for Lord Pirrie's page and 9 inches by 11 inches for Margaret Carlisle's page, these autograph pages are a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Edwardian era. The intricate floral designs add an additional layer of elegance and charm to these precious keepsakes. These autograph pages offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Lord Pirrie and Margaret Carlisle, two influential figures in Belfast's maritime and social history. The delicate floral designs and elegant signatures make for a beautiful addition to any collection of historical memorabilia or an exquisite decorative piece for the home.
