Contemporary engraved armorial bookplate of William Hugh Logan.
A fine contemporary record of the great re-enactment of a medieval joust and revel held that was held at Eglinton Castle in Scotland on Friday 30 August 1839.

The event was a significant occasion in the contemporary rise of Romanticism and the associated vogue for the Gothic.
Logan, a member of the contemporary Scottish literary society the Abbotsford Club, published several works
