FINE BOOKS, ATLASES, MANUSCRIPTS & PHOTOGRAPHS | 7 ‘A VALUABLE ADDITION TO OUR INSTRUMENTAL EQUIPMENT’: FRIDJOF NANSEN SEEKS ADVICE FROM FELLOW ARCTIC- EXPLORER EDWARD WHYMPER.

Nansen writes in haste a month before leaving for the Fram Expedition of 1893-96, during which he reached a record ‘farthest north’ of 86°14′. In his account of the expedition, he writes of the importance of taking the correct scientific instruments: ‘In addition to the collection of instruments I had used on my Greenland expedition, a great many new ones were provided, and no pains were spared to get them as good and complete as possible... Of special importance were a self-registering aneroid barometer (barograph) and a pair of self-registering thermometers (thermographs)... Altogether, our scientific equipment was especially excellent, thanks in great measure to the obliging assistance rendered me by many men of science’ (Farthest North, 1897, chapter 2). One of the ‘men of science’ he consulted during his preparations was Edward Whymper, whose own expedition to Greenland in 1867 had opened up greater possibilities for Arctic exploration, and who had published a pamphlet, How to use the Aneroid Barometer, in 1891. Nansen’s experiments with equipment and techniques were to influence polar explorers for years to come. These letters come from the collection of Sir George Buckston Browne (see lot 18).

“This Regiment is composed of a very fine body of men but not so fit for service as the other Regiments of Cavalry that I have received” - a full and detailed review undertaken in Dublin by the Earl Ross, Lieutenant General of the First Regiment of Horse, which in 1788 was renamed the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards. Commanded at the time of the review by George Warde, the review is generally positive with some caveats (“Horses - In pretty good condition.... tolerably well fitted”; “Arms - clean, but 28 carbines... 11 swords 12 bad, 5 carbines, 4 pair pistols, and 6 swords wanting”).

FINE BOOKS, ATLASES, MANUSCRIPTS & PHOTOGRAPHS | 9 ‘THE SAME INTENSE LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY’: Constance Markievicz writes of her hopes for an independent Ireland to an Australian cousin with a shared sympathy for the Irish Republican cause.

This long and heartfelt letter is written at what she calls a “terrible time” for her and the Republicans, particularly due to the creation of the so-called ‘Black and Tans’ in 1920; as she explains “They are ex officers & are dressed partially in khaki & partially in the Black of the Policeman” and were notorious for their brutality, sub-judice killings, arson and looting. Having been sentenced to death for her involvement in the Easter Rising of 1916 (she was second- in-command of a troop in the Irish Citizen Army), Markievicz was released in the general amnesty of June 1917, only being spared the firing squad by virtue of her sex. She spent the reminder of her life “on the run” and in and out of prison. In fact she was in prison in 1918 when she became the first woman elected to the British parliament although, like all Sinn Fein MPs, she refused to take her seat.

Our letter is undated, but Markievicz mentions she is writing two nights after the British attack on the town of Balbriggan on 23 September 1920 and the murder of John Lynch in the Royal Exchange Hotel the same night, Lynch supposedly being in Dublin to hand over £23,000 in subscriptions to Michael Collins. It can therefore be assumed that it was written around 25 or 26 September 1920. The heading indicates that it was written from Liberty Hall, the headquarters of the Irish Citizen Army during the Easter Rising, a building of great significance to the Republicans and the meeting point for rebels before their march on the General Post Office in 1916 13 (Markievicz had also run a soup kitchen there with Maude Gonne during the 1913 lock out). It was badly damaged by naval shelling during the rising and several accounts suggest that Liberty Hall was completely demolished. However, the more recent view is that it 13 * was restored and reoccupied following the uprising, which would be IRELAND – COUNTESS MARKIEVICZ confirmed by the fact that Markievicz appears to be sheltering there Autograph letter signed (“your affectionate unknown cousin at this time.

Extremely rare pamphlet by John Law, six copies of which have been traced in institutions, and none in auction records.

Law was an economist with a colourful life story. Having moved to London, he lost large sums by gambling and in 1694 fought a duel, killing his opponent and finding himself sentenced to death. When the sentence was commuted to a fine, he was imprisoned under appeal, and escaped to Holland. Returning to Scotland in 1705, Law urged the establishment of a Scottish national bank and the issue of banknotes backed by land, gold or silver. But the proposals in the present pamphlet, and in his major work of the same year, Money and Trade Considered, were ultimately rejected, and Law left to pursue his ambitions abroad. After establishing the French Banque Générale in 1716, he went on to be the architect of the ill-fated 26 Mississippi Bubble scheme which caused a financial crisis in France and his complete fall from grace; although pardoned in England, he was to die a poor man in Venice a few years later, unaware that many of his ideas would still form a part of accepted monetary theory some three hundred years later.

Dowman is now in Scotland on his recently acquired magnificent schooner yacht Lamorna...”, whilst one of the loose drawings in the album depicting two boys in the salon of the boat (one identified as Colin, the Dowman’s son) is drawn on Lamorna headed paper, with the crest and initials of the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club.

‘PEN’S RATHER AMBITIOUS ATTEMPT’: ROBERT BROWNING SUPPORTS HIS SON’S ARTISTIC CAREER.

Browning encloses an invitation to the Winter Exhibition of Oil Paintings by British Artists, and of Original Drawings & Sketches Published in Punch, the inaugural exhibition of the Hanover Gallery in London which opened in November 1880. The picture in question is Pen Browning’s The Delivery to the Secular Arm (now at the Armstrong Browning Library and Museum, Baylor University), a large work which depicts a pretty female heretic standing before the Inquisition judges of Antwerp prior to sentencing, and for which his father penned a translation of a quotation by the Spanish poet Calderon. The Times published a scathing review of the exhibition, which also included works by Clausen, Leighton and Millais, in which Pen’s offering came in for particular criticism: ‘The largest composition in the gallery is by Mr. R. B. Browning, a young painter, whose work is at the present time more audacious than beautiful, but who, nevertheless is possessed of considerable talent of a bold hit-or-miss character. The work in question, however... cannot be considered as a happy achievement... indeed, we discover no merit of any kind in the picture except a somewhat careful and 35 level execution of the technical portion of the painting...’ (Times, 20 November, 1880, p. 11).The gallery somewhat redeemed itself in the eyes of the critic, however, by including G.F. Watts’ celebrated portrait of Robert Browning in the show (‘...This magnificent portrait ‘I DO CONSIDER MYSELF, & AM CONVINCED BY THE PHYSICIAN never looked finer than it does here...’) and is evidently one of the WHO ATTENDS ME, HOPEFULLY BETTER’: Elizabeth Barrett writes “...many pictures by better artists...” referred to by Browning in our from her convalescence in Torquay to her cousin and ‘Guardian letter.

‘FIVE MINUTES WILL TELL YOU, WHETHER HE POSSESSES THE SPECIAL CAPACITIES REQUIRED FOR YOUR WORK’

Maurice Drummond held the post of Receiver of the Police from 1860 to 1883, a part-time position which left him with plenty of leisure time for other pursuits such as journalism. With his wife, the daughter of Lord Ribblesdale, he moved in Hampstead literary circles where, according to Lady St. Helier’s memoirs, he was great friends with Frederick Greenwood, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette and the Du Mauriers: ‘Their dinners were always small only six to eight people but they lasted well on into the night... Maurice Drummond was a curious, interesting wild looking person, very able and original...’ (Memories of Fifty Years, 1909, p.160). Drummond wrote extensively for the Pall Mall Gazette but it is not known if Wilkie Collins’ recommendation was taken up by Mark Lemon, who died a few weeks after this letter was written.

Both letters come from the collection of George Buckston Browne, assistant to the physician Sir Henry Thompson. A transcript of 38 the first, possibly in the hand of Buckston Browne, is held in the University of Kansas Kenneth Spencer Research Library (MS P557:A8). It is numbered [0963] in the Collected Letters, where a footnote adds that Browne was a near neighbour of Wilkie Collins expressing his wish for a more ‘private and personal’ association. for just over a year before his death and that a letter from Browne to The author was clearly a great admirer of the work of Phelps, who Clyde K.

DICKENS INVESTS IN PROPERTY IN WANSTEAD. Dicken’s signatures stand at the head of both these documents concerning the sale of the “semi-detached villa residence” at no. 30 Grove Road, Wanstead. The first is signed in characteristic turquoise ink, without flourishes, the second in brown ink with the usual flourished underlining.

From the “Ennumeration of Deeds referred to” in the second document, it is clear that Dickens first acquired an interest in this property in 1860 and, from the terms of the lease, that he owned further land in the area. This is borne out by a similar indenture sold in these rooms, 24 March 2009, lot 133, also dated 1868/9 regarding property at no. 16 Grove Road. The other parties to this transaction were either builders or speculative developers: Wilmott had just finished a development of four houses in Westward Ho! the previous summer (see the town’s History Group website); while Wilkinson is recorded as a timber merchant residing in Shoreditch near Wanstead, and was busy in the 1860’s developing property in Hackney in partnership with Marmaduke Matthews, an auctioneer, who is also named in our deed (see Victoria County History Middlesex, Vol.10, ‘Hackney: Homerton and Hackney Wick’, edited by T.F.T. Barker, 1995, pp.51-50). Crosbie, Dickens’s fellow mortgagee, is recorded as inheriting and selling property in Grove Street, Hackney, 43 in 1840 (Access to Archives, Hackney Archives Department, small collections, M220 and 221).

None of these characters feature in the records of Dickens’s life, 42 neither is it his usual solicitor who drew up these deeds. The DICKENS (CHARLES) question arises as to why Dickens should have employed Hudson ROCKWOOD (GEORGE GARDNER) Three quarter length cabinet & Co., rather than his friend and usual solicitor Frederic Ouvry, of portrait of Charles Dickens, albumen print, mounted, photographer’s Farrer Ouvry & Farrer, who not only handled Dickens’s separation printed credit and address ‘17 Union Square (West), N.Y.’ below and from his wife, but also his publishing contracts and property affairs on verso, image 144 x 97mm., 1867 (see the Sotheby’s catalogue of Dickens’s business papers, London, 15 July 1999, lots 160-187). Having purchased Gad’s Hill Place in 1856, Dickens sold Tavistock House in September 1860, for 2000 £400 - 600 guineas. Three months after this, on 12 November, we find him giving €450 - 670 Wilkinson a mortgage for the speculative development in Wanstead. US$530 - 790 It has been suggested that the property in Grove Road may have been purchased with a view to giving a home to his mistress Ellen One of several photographs taken seemingly at the same sitting, (Nelly) Ternan but the ownership of another property in the same during Dickens’s last reading tour in America. These cabinet portraits, road would imply that Dickens was investing in these speculative like others of Walt Whitman a few years later, were published jointly properties with a more business-led motive in mind. It is thought that by both Rockwood and Gurney & Son. Dickens gave readings at the Becontree Archery Assembly Rooms, now the Wanstead Quaker Burial Ground.

A PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN PORTRAIT OF JOHN CHARD BY ALPHONSE DE NEUVILLE (1836-1885), who included a prominent depiction of Chard in his painting The Defence of Rorke’s Drift. In the 38-page catalogue published by the Fine Art Society to accompany the exhibition of the painting, it is noted that “the painter has had sittings of all the principal actors in the scene who were in this country while he was at work - Major Chard, the Rev. G. Smith.... As for the localities he had the benefit of all forms of topographical record; official plans, Major Chard’s sketches..., As to the incidents of the defence, he has had the use not only of Major Chard’s official report, and all the letters which appeared at the time, but of many others from actors on the scene”.

“P.H. Emerson was the first English photographer to work out a theory of naturalistic photography. His attitude and philosophy had a profound effect on the growth of good photography - he was a mainstream man when his colleagues were stagnating in backwaters” (Bill Jay, Album, 1970). In the preface Emerson stated that his aim was “to produce truthful pictures of East Anglian Peasant and Fisherfolk Life, and of the landscape in which such life is lived”, the work also very much a manifesto for his advocacy of “Naturalism”. This copy has fine impressions of the plates.

119 ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT LEAF Pierre Bersuire reading, miniature on a leaf of Livy’s Histoire Romaine, in the French translation of Pierre Bersuire, ILLUMINATED BY PERRIN REMIET, 45 lines in a lettre bâtarde in brown ink on vellum, in 2 columns, running title (‘Cy comence le premier livre de la tierce des cade’) and rubrics in red, 2 2-line and one 4-line decorative initial, the last with trailing ivy in the margin, 440 x 310mm., [Paris, c.1390]

£5,000 - 7,000 €5,600 - 7,800 US$6,600 - 9,200

Pierre Bersuire (c. 1290–1362) translated into French Petrarch’s reassembly (in Latin) of Livy’s history of Rome, Ab urbe condita - the first translation of any major classical author into French. By his own testimony, Bersuire undertook the translation on the command of King John II of France, who, like ‘tous excellens princes’ wished to ‘encercher et savoir les vertueus fais et les notables euvres des princes anciens... par lesquelles ils conquisirent jadis les pays... ediffierent empires et royaumes... et deffendirent et gouvernerent et tinrent par grans successions et par longues durees’ (preface to the Histoire). This courtly taste for historical literature continued into the period of Charles VI, when the present manuscript was produced.

The style of this miniature can be identified with that of Perrin Remiet, an illuminator who was in the service of Charles V by 1368 and was still working for his son Louis d’Orléans in 1398.

Noting that his translation was from the English edition (which was not on the Index), Ortiz further argued that he had purged “it of various impious proposals... and eliminating entirely an article... in which the author favors tolerance on points of religion, so that it stands cleansed of anything that could lead to error or relaxation in moral and religious matters.” He had to submit the manuscript twice before it was accepted for publication. It remained the only Spanish translation for 150 years. See R.S. Smith, “The Wealth of Nations in Spain and Hispanic America, 1780-1830”, Journal of Political Economy, 65(2), 1957, pp.104-125.

Scarce complete copy of Barker’s treatise on garden horticulture, including the important fourth part, a pre-Waltonian section devoted to angling. Barker, who made a living as an angling tutor, suggested that “fishing far surpasses all other recreations in promoting health and pleasure. The text offers much hard practical advice on fish species, tackle and bait, together with recipes, including pike with stewed oysters, and employs a successful formula for angling writing which has been much copied subsequently” (ODNB).

LEONARD WEST’S ORIGINAL ARTWORK FOR THE NATURAL TROUT FLY AND ITS IMITATIONS (1912), with materials related to the publishing of the second edition (1921), artwork for St. Helens’ Fly-fisher’s Club dinners, and watercolours and ink drawings for articles on aquatic entomology.

West was a stalwart of the Lancashire and Cheshire Entomological Society (and President for 1916) and founding member of the St. Helen’s Fly-fisher’s Club. In 1912 he published his classic The Natural Trout Fly “with considerable diffidence... The notes and observations contained in it were made for private use only, but owing to the persuasion of a friend, the Author has decided to give them a wider circulation” (Foreword). His approach to fly-fishing was based on the premise that “the angler with a knowledge of entomology, possesses a great advantage, and is able readily to select a fly” (Introduction).

Provenance: Leonard West, and by family descent to current owner.

RARE EDITION, only the Welcome copy cited on ESTC, and this 197 with a variant collation. In the Wellcome copy the second section (“Family Physician”) has 10 unnumbered pages, whilst our copy has 14 numbered pages. First published in 1684 all early editions are very scarce, presumably due to the book’s risque subject matter of women’s bodies, sex, and pregnancy, which led it to be sold by “country peddlers and in general stores and taverns; regular booksellers seldom advertised it, though they usually had it under the counter” (The Library Company of Philadelphia, ‘Treasures’, online catalogue). The attribution to Aristotle is totally spurious and was probably a vain attempt to give the work some measure of respectability; but although it was effectively banned until the mid-twentieth century, the prohibition didn’t keep it from circulating. Such enduring popularity was partly due to the practical advice on pregnancy and the care of infants, and partly to its rather sensationalised descriptions of the sexual act and forms of “monstrosity”, the subjects depicted in the woodcut illustrations.

PRESENTATION COPY “FROM THE AUTHOR” OF THE FIRST COMPLETE EDITION -”THE MOST IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC BOOK OF EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY AMERICA” (PMM).

First published in 1751-53, Franklin’s ground-breaking work on electricity proved the existence of positive and negative charges as well as the concepts of insulators and conductors. It included his famous Leyden jar, kite and key experiments, and led to the invention of the lightning rod. The present fourth edition was updated by the author to include full notes on all of his experiments, along with correspondence between Peter Collinson, Franklin and other collaborators.

Provenance: UK private collection.

217 216 BEARDSLEY (AUBREY) Autograph letter signed (“Aubrey Beardsley”) to the Rev. David Bearne, stating that “...I should be very grateful if you could spare me a few moments to-morrow...”, 1 page, on grey paper, old light fold, 8vo, Muriel, Exeter Rd, Bournemouth, [undated, but between February, and early April 1897]

£1,500 - 2,000 €1,700 - 2,200 US$2,000 - 2,600

‘I SHOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD SPARE ME A FEW MOMENTS’: Beardsley requests a visit from Father David Bearne, the man who received him into the Catholic Church, giving him his first communion on 31 March 1897, and taking him the Sacraments a couple of days later at Muriel, the house at which he was living in Bournemouth. Searching for a climate that would be beneficial to his tubercular lungs Beardsley moved to Muriel, a guest house, in January 1897. In early February he was visited by his patron Marc- Andre Raffalovich, a Catholic convert, who encouraged Beardsley to seek out Father Bearne, the priest at the local Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart. The first meeting took place on 23 February, Beardsley writing to Raffalovich shortly after that Bearne ‘was most charming and promised to come to see me often. I felt much drawn to him and I believe he will be a good friend to me’. Beardsley’s biographer Matthew Sturgis, writing in March 1998 to the current owner, comments on our letter showing that, “after the initial introduction, Beardsley actively sought out Fr. Bearne and desired his company; he was not - as is often suggested - the passive and enfeebled victim of some Catholic conspiracy instigated by Raffalovich”. The mostly likely date of the letter is late February, and certainly before Beardsley left Muriel for Paris in April 1897. No letters to Bearne are included in The Letters, edited by by Henry Maas, 1970.

Burne-Jones began his series of “Flower Book” designs in 1882, working upon them until his death in 1898. “The pictures in this book are not of flowers themselves, but of subjects suggested by their 221 names... All the pictures take the same form, a circle about six inches in diameter—a kind of magic mirror in which the vision appears— and he wished them not to be separated, because, wide as is their scope, one spirit, that of pure fantasy, unites them... In some of the pictures details remain unfinished; but both colour and design are always perfectly clear, and are so intimately characteristic of the painter that I have sometimes thought this book contains a fuller expression of himself than exists elsewhere in his work” (Georgiana Burne-Jones, from the preface).

Fletcher himself was reticent in later life about the details of his friendship with Forster but, according to someone who knew him well, while Forster’s influence on his intellectual and spiritual life was indisputable, he was always clear that they were never physically intimate. Forster shows a keen almost fatherly interest in Fletcher’s career as a teacher (“...a profession I mistrust and don’t usually recommend...”) and his family life, and was a source of emotional and financial support, generously sending him a “...small cheque dear Eric...for your car...” and a £500 legacy (“...If you do refuse I shall leave you the same sum in my will, but this doesn’t seem so satisfactory partly because neither of us will want you to get it, partly because I shan’t have the pleasure of seeing you getting it...”). Throughout runs the well-documented and somewhat complicated relationship between Forster and Bob and May Buckingham, and the correspondence demonstrates his dependence on the Buckinghams for his day-to-day care, particularly in the latter years of his life. The Fletchers were at Forster’s bedside at the Buckingham’s home in Coventry just two days before his death.

The vast majority of the correspondence to Eric Fletcher listed in Mary Lago’s Calendar of the Letters of E.M. Forster, 1985, is included here, with a handful of exceptions. However, a significant group are hitherto unpublished and do not appear in the Calendar. Three have been published in Lago and Furbank’s Selected Letters, those from 26 April 1950, no.392, pp.240-41; 25 March 1958, note 2, p.270; and 6 January 1963, no.433, pp.282-3.

These papers were retained by Eric Fletcher and have been in the family since his death in March 2019. All the proceeds from the sale of the present lot will go to educational and other charities of which, it is hoped, Forster and Fletcher would have approved.

In 1935 Forster acknowledged his debt to Sturgis’ novel in an essay, later collected in Abinger Harvest, in which he described it as a “Classic”, whilst acknowledging it was “unlikely ever to be read again”.

E.M. FORSTER’S COPY OF LORD OF THE FLIES, A FINE ASSOCIATION COPY INSCRIBED “IN GRATITUDE AND PRIDE” BY WILLIAM GOLDING. Forster, an early supporter of the book when first published in 1954, provided a lengthy introduction for this edition, stating “It is a pleasure and an honour to write an introduction to this remarkable book... Lord of the Flies is a very serious book which has to be introduced seriously... It is written with taste and liveliness, the talk is natural, the descriptions of scenery enchanting. It is certainly not a comforting book. But it may help a few grownups to be less complacent and more compassionate....”. The introduction led to a warm correspondence between the two authors, several meetings, and a continued friendship.

Alfred Munnings made spontaneous sketches such as this on anything that came to hand. He was a noted bon viveur and raconteur, and the lively drawing depicting the aftermath of a convivial evening and his exuberant annotation attests to his full enjoyment of the menu, which lists an impressive selection of eleven fine wines to accompany the eight courses. The Ligue Internationale des Adversaires de la Prohibition was formed in Paris in 1920, under the presidency of Baron Raymond de Luze, as a response to the prohibition of alcohol in America which came into force in the same year. It held annual congresses in various European cities until the repeal of prohibition in December 1933, making this London banquet its last event. Other notable members included Francis Berry of the eponymous London wine merchants and, it would seem, Munnings’ friend, the poet and dramatist John Drinkwater, from whose collection this menu derives, and who may well be the gentleman depicted here, making the choice of annotation particularly apposite.

265 SHAW (GEORGE BERNARD) 264 Autograph letter signed (“G. Bernard Shaw”), to F.V. Conolly, an English correspondent of the American Press Association, on the reverse of Conolly’s typed request for his views on the suitability of black actors to perform serious theatre such as Shakespeare and Shaw rather than just comedy roles (“...How would a negress, for instance, depict ‘Eliza Doolittle’...”), Shaw responding “Negroes act very well, usually with much more delicacy and grace than white actors... The notion that there is anything funny in a man or woman being black is as childish as the notion that there is anything funny in being white... The only difficulty about performances of Shakespear by negroes is that his characters are white Europeans, except for Othello & the Prince of Morocco, neither of whom are negroes. But as English actors have never been prevented from playing Romeo & Juliet by the fact that they are not Italians... so a performance by a black company would be just as enjoyable as a performance by a white one if the acting were equally good...”, concluding that “... the chances are that it would be better...”, 1 page, foxing and light dust-staining, two filing holes not affecting text, 4to (254 x 203mm.), Parknasilla, Kenmare, Co.

“NEVER SHALL I FORGET THE PAIN & TERROR IN THAT POOR LITTLE THING’S FACE. I had nothing to help it & they were miles from any habitation... without food and medicine” (13 May, near Qara Tappah) - an evocative diary kept by Lieutenant Smith, capturing both the horror and beauty of his daily life. It was written whilst serving he with the No. 3 Mule Column, a section of the Transport Corps stationed in Mesopotamia, to which he was assigned in June 1917.

The diary includes mentions of Qara Tappah, Baguba, Abu Jisra, Hillah (March 3, visiting “the house built by the German excavators who have done so much here...” and the Babylonian remains, which Gertrude Bell had visited in January), Abu Saida (31 March, “I killed 1000 flies in my tent...”; April 5, “Changed into my light underwear...”; April 17, “...Saw streams of Kurds & Arabs on the road... on the trek with camels”; April 23, “... held a court martial... of Hazzat Shah... for theft from a mail bag, found him guilty & sentenced him to 30 lashes...”), Table mountain (trip with his orderly, Mohammed Qasim, whose photograph is included), Kifri and environs of Baghdad (29 April, “Tuz Khurmatli [Khurma] was taken today and nearly the whole of the Turkish force killed or taken prisoners”; 2 May, “Passed the 2 lots of Turkish prisoners... one prisoner of the first lot died on the way... they are evidently hungry and tired...”).

The majority of Smith’s letter book correspondence relates to his ordering books on India from Mudie’s Select Library, Higginbotham in Madras (from where he purchased his Lett’s Diary) and elsewhere, or selling others (12 April 1920, placing an advert in the Baghdad Times, “For Sale. Palmer’s Arabic Grammar...”). Smith’s record of the No.3 Mule Column Fund records Receipts (“Sale of a consignment of cigarettes for the column”, “Proceeds of the sale of parts of two Turkish carts...”) and Expenditure (“Football, 2 bladders & one tube cement”, “Sweets for the the Peace celebrations”). The entertainment programmes include pantomimes (“Red Riding Hood”, “A Gipsy Romance” by the Advaxeliers at the Baghdad Depot Theatre), and an 268 Olympia Cinema listing printed by the Dangor Press, Baghdad.
