YOUNG, Sir Allen William -- 'APE' [i.e. Carlo PELLEGRINI] (artist). Alleno. [London:] Vincent Brookes, Day and Son for Vanity Fair, 15 December 1877.

A full-length lithographic portrait of Young after Pellegrini, from the 'Men of the Day' series (no. 167), image size 310 x 184mm; very good, mounted, with a photocopy of the original text to the verso.

A portrait of the Arctic explorer Sir Allen Young, shortly after he was knighted for his services to Arctic exploration. Allen served as the navigating officer of the Fox under Sir Leopold M'Clintock in 1857, during its expedition to follow through John Rae's discoveries relating to Franklin's fate: 'During the two years spent in following Franklin's tracks, Young made notable sledge journeys, exploring about 380 miles of new coast line, including the southern and western coasts of Prince of Wales Land and both shores of Franklin Strait. He also discovered McClintock Channel, but was unable to cross its rough ice. In 1860 he had command of the Fox in the north Atlantic telegraph expedition, which surveyed a telegraph route between Europe and America via the Faeroes, Iceland, and Greenland. He visited the east coast of Greenland, but, believing it to be impracticable for a cable route, did not land. He sailed on for the west coast, landed with Rae (who was in charge of the land part of the expedition), and ascended to the ice cap near Julianehåb; but he returned on deciding that a telegraph line could not be carried across Greenland' (ODNB). Young later travelled to Baffin Bay in support of Sir George Nares' 1875-1876 Arctic expedition and returned the following year, when 'in spite of great difficulties [he] landed dispatches for Nares at Cape Isabella and Littleton Island' (op. cit.); for his services to Nares' expedition, Young was knighted in 1877, shortly before this portrait was executed. Young's last Arctic expedition was in June 1882, when 'he commanded the whaler Hope, chartered with government help, in order to search for the explorer, Benjamin Leigh Smith, who had sailed for Franz Josef Land in July of the previous year. Nares and Young were instrumental in launching the relief expedition and in August 1882 the Hope found Leigh Smith and his party at Matochkin Shar, on the west coast of Novaya Zemlya, which they had reached in boats after the destruction of their vessel off Franz Josef Land' (op. cit.).

Good but not great. Limited adjustment
Color: Cream
Chair looks great and is very comfortable and well made. I took stars off because a couple of issues that I can’t live with and will require me to buy another chair. The chair does not rise high enough. Unlike other office chairs, I feel like I’m a little kid at the adult table(I’m 5’10” male). The most annoying feature is the chair back angle isn’t adjustable so I’m always at a slight recline. I have to place a pillow behind me to look like I’m not falling asleep while on camera. Suprised there isn’t an adjustment for that. I would have discovered all of this if I was able to try it out before hand but the mass positive rating don’t mention these issues.

Very sturdy
Color: Black, Color: Black
Good comfort level ✔ The seat cushion is soft but doesn't sag, and the armrests also provide some cushioning. Easy to clean ✔ The leather surface can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth, making it ideal for use on tables with drinks or snacks. Simple installation, clear instructions "The cushions on the chair back and armrests are soft enough, not too hard. It offers good value for money; the price is reasonable, but the seating comfort is better than I expected. "Suitable for daily office work or study." The seat cushion is very comfortable, and the back support is excellent. Adjustable height, smooth The chair is sturdy No shaking

Comfortable chair
Color: Black, Color: Black
I wanted an all black out chair to match my cabinets and this chair fits my needs. It was easy to install took me about 20mins or so. Quality is great, the base is made out of metal hence very solid, it came with the polyurethane wheels, rolling on the hardwood floor is very smooth. Seat and arm rest have thick foam paddings makes it very comfortable to seat on and lean back. Adjustable recline tension and height adjustment. Great chair.

GOOD
Color: Black
The chair was more comfortable than I expected for the price. The back support feels good and the seat does not feel hard after working for several hours. I liked that the wheels roll smoothly and the assembly was pretty simple. The design also makes the office look more modern. So far it feels stable and durable.
