Meanwhile, in Scotland, Sir David Brewster, inventor and scientist, penned his observations at Abbotsford. Across the sea, Wollaton Hall's Lord Middleton received news of William Woodward & Company's successes. In Europe, Sir David Brewster met Felice Beato, an English-born Italian photographer, capturing moments of history, such as the visit of H. I. H. The Archduke Charles Salvator of Tuscany and H. R. H. Princess Blanche of Bourbon. Back in America, October 24, 1889, brought headlines of Wall Street's stock market crash, a stark contrast to the tranquil days of the past.
