Notes

Edward Tracy Turnerelli (13 October 1813 - 24 January 1896) was a British artist, travel writer and Conservative activist.^[1]

He was born in London to the sculptor Peter Turnerelli. He studied modelling under his father and at the Royal Academy, before travelling to Russia in 1836.^[1] Under the patronage of Tsar Nicholas I, Turnerelli toured Russia for 18 years before turning to England in 1854.^[1] He married Martha Hankey, which gave him an independent income, and spent the rest of his life campaigning for the Conservatives.^[1]

In the aftermath of Lord Beaconsfield's triumphant return from the Congress of Berlin in 1878, Turnerelli organised the "People's Tribute" to him. 52,800 working men from 115 towns subscribed to a fund that paid for a 22-carat gold Roman wreath that was to crown Beaconsfield at a ceremony in the Crystal Palace.^[2] However, Beaconsfield declined the tribute.^[2]
