  • Julius Bryant – Mr Tulk's Table: from Marble Hill to Bondi and Back
    83 JULIUS BRYANT Mr Tulk’s table: from Marble Hill to Bondi and back Every reader at the State Library of Victoria knows ‘Mr Tulk’, at least from his silhouette that forms the logo of the eponymous cafe at the La Trobe St entrance in Melbourne. While the Library challenges every passer-by with its slogan ‘What’s your story?’, few may be aware of Mr Tulk’s own tale, before his appointment as the institution’s first chief librarian in March 1854. Readers (and diners) may be surprised to learn that the childhood home in England of Augustus Henry Tulk (1810–73), Marble Hill in Twickenham, has been a museum since 1966, and that the search by the museum’s curators to recover the lost historic contents of the house has led to Woollahra and Bondi in Sydney. A magnificent carved and marble-topped pier table, taken to Australia by Mr Tulk, is now permanently back in the room in Twickenham for which it was designed. Research towards its recovery has shed light on the literary, artistic and even mystical circle of Romanticism’s avant-garde that frequented the family home where Mr Tulk grew up.1 Marble Hill was built between 1724 and 1729 for Henrietta Howard, daughter of Sir Henry Hobart, 4th Baronet. Known from 1731 by her title, Countess of Suffolk, the wife of Sir Charles Hotham was mistress to the Prince of Wales (from 1728, King George II) for nearly 15 years from 1718. Her home was built as an investment, in readiness for her inevitable fall from favour and retirement from court.
