Mixed Pickles. Unknown about 1864 This fantastical collage is part of The Westmorland Album, an album probably compiled by Victoria Alexandrina Hare, Countess of Yarborough (also known as Lady Yarborough, 1840-1927), who was the goddaughter and namesake of Queen Victoria. Lady Yarborough may have created this photocollage, however we are not certain. The image is a play on the parlor game Mixed Pickles, a social activity that foreshadows the Surrealist drawing game of chance Exquisite Corpse. In Mixed Pickles, words are written on bits of paper and tossed in a jar. They are randomly pulled out and players are challenged to make amusing sentences out of them. For this collage, the artist replaced the slivers of paper with colorful figures with montaged photographic heads. Lord Yarborough (1835-1875), the countesss husband, plunges a pickle fork into the bottle to retrieve some familiar charactersLady Yarborough, her brother-in-law Cuthbert Larking (1842-1910), and the popular socialite
