BEECQ, Jan Karel Donatus van (Jean-Charles-Donat). Plusieurs pieces maritimes. Paris, “rue St. Jacques aux 2 Piliers d’or” [=Gérard Audran, ca. 1683]. Oblong 2º. Series of 6 numbered engraved plates after designs by Van Beecq, including title-page and 5 naval views with captions below. The title-page notes the series is engraved by Moyse Jean-Baptiste Fouard, but three of the other plates give Gérard Audran as the engraver. With: (2) POILLY, Nicolas de. Livre de plusieurs navires de guerre et vaisseaux marchands. Paris, Nicolas de Poilly, [ca. 1683?]. Oblong 4º. Series of 6 plates, the first with the title as a caption below and the name and address of De Poilly, the others only note “NDePoilly ex C.P.R.”, that is “cum privilegio regis”. 2 works in 1 volume. Contemporary calf. € 19 000 Ad 1: Third (or second) copy located of an attractive print series by the Dutch marine painter J. van Beecq (1638–1722), a nearly forgotten master who had left the Netherlands when the art market collapsed in the “year of disaster” 1672. He first followed father and son Willem van de Velde to England, but soon moved to France where he became painter to Louis XIV, a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and a protégé of important patrons. In 1685, the art-loving naval official Esprit Cabart de Villermont wrote a letter to the Minister of Navy Jean- Baptiste Colbert, marquis de Seignelay, recommending Van Beecq to his attention: “He is the only here [in France] who excels in this genre”. The only copy we could actually locate is in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Schwartz also notes a copy in the Bibliothèque National, but the title is not found in their online catalogue. Ad 2: Only copy located of a naval print series by the French engraver Nicolas de Poilly (1626–1696). He was taught the art of engraving by his better known brother François de Poilly and mostly produced portraits and religious and historical engrav- ings. The first plates show large war and merchant ships and the last shows several battered ships in the aftermath of a storm. A stain at the top right corner throughout, only affecting a small corner of the plates, and a vertical fold though the centre of the second series, otherwise in very good condition. Binding restored. [12] ll. Ad 1: Hollstein I, p. 192 (doesn’t give a location); G.

Large 2º (47 × 30 cm). With 20 numbered aquatint plates containing 137 coastal profiles, and 12 partly numbered engraved plates containing 24 maps of port cities, harbours, islands and the Strait of Gibraltar. All coastal profiles and maps beautifully and subtly coloured by a contemporary hand. Contemporary boards. € 14 500 First English edition, with aquatint profiles, of Bougard’s Le Petit Flambeau de la Mer, a marine pilot guide to coastal navigation originally published in 1684 and extensively revised for the present edition by Serres. The coastal profiles cover the British Isles, Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, and the islands included among the maps include Corsica, Malta and Corfu. The coastal profiles show many spectacular cliffs and rock formations, numerous light-houses (an important source for their history), fortresses and occasionally other buildings, as well as ships and smaller boats, a large view of the whole city of La Valette on Malta, and even three smoking volcanoes (Vesuvius, Stromboli and Etna). The text includes information on the Barbary Coast, and islands and coasts en route to the East Indies. This is the first major revision to the maps and views of the Petit Flambeau, which saw only minor changes of content from 1684 to 1716 and no more in the editions (to 1789) before the present. With a contemporary owner’s signature on the title-page (Peter Rye) and the lovely armorial bookplate of the Philadelphia publisher and bibliophile Moncure Biddle (1882–ca. 1952).

Contemporary mottled calf, richly gold-tooled spine. € 2750 First and only edition of a work on navigation around the Dutch island Texel, written by the sea merchant Laurens Brandligt. Due to alluviation the stream velocity in the waters around Texel had decreased. Brandligt suggests several ways to improve the nav- igability of these waters, which was important since Dutch warships often took refuge in them. Brandligt also tries to promote Den Helder as a new harbour for both war and merchant ships, stressing the poor accessibility of Amsterdam. Small tear in first free endleaf, restored, title-page slightly browned. Binding rubbed along the extrem- ities, spine damaged at the top and front hinge partly cracked. Overall in good condition.

With engraved title-page, engraved portrait of De Ruyter, 7 engraved double-page plates by Sebastiaen Stoopendaal and 1 engraved plate by Joseph Mulder.

For the present work Brandt used numerous original documents from De Ruyter’s son and other private individuals, as well as from official government sources. “This resulted in a book that was not only based on good information, but through his exalted, lucid and engaging style also became a true folk-book in the best sense of the word” (NNBW). De Ruyter fought the English off the coast of West Africa, the Caribbean, temporarily took St John’s, New Foundland, and even considered retaking New York. While the binding is somewhat scuffed along the spine, the book itself is in very good condition, with only an occasional spot. [10], “1063” [=1065], [23] pp. Alden & Landis 687/21; Cat.

    Our Website Won a Gold at the APS Stampshow … and Europa News Garnered

    SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2017 Issue # 441 Our website won a Gold at the APS StampShow … and Europa News garnered a Silver ! See page 2 SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2017 441-2 Article Report from StampShow — Dana Roper The 2017 APS StampShow, held in Richmond, VA from 3-6 August , was a great show. Lots of deal- ers with good material to look at. Two of my per- sonal favorite dealers—A&D Stamps and A to Z Worldwide — had adjoining multiple booths to form a “Great Wall of Stamps” that was twice as long as usual. You could spend days just at their two booths. No Europa exhibits at the show — Steve Luster would have been disappointed. Still, I had fun eyeballing what was there and frequenting the dealer tables. The “Great Walls of Stamps”, still picture from the You Tube video, excerpted from Linn’s Stamp News Report. The judges’ comments regarding the website in- cluded praise for the wealth of information — the Handbook and other checklists, New Issues listings, auctions and back issues of Europa News. The judges called it a “Content rich website ... a valuable resource for ESU members.” Some helpful suggestions included adding links in each webpage to get back to the previous ones and a Search function. I’ll get to work on these. The EN comments brought me back to earth a bit, Joe Running (selfie taker), Joe Sullivan and me but then I reminded myself that I was looking for comments and suggestions. The comments there We held a Unit meeting on Saturday, and three boiled down to content and formatting.

    The Abhorred Name of Turk”: Muslims and the Politics of Identity in Seventeenth- Century English Broadside Ballads

    “The Abhorred Name of Turk”: Muslims and the Politics of Identity in Seventeenth- Century English Broadside Ballads A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Katie Sue Sisneros IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Nabil Matar, adviser November 2016 Copyright 2016 by Katie Sue Sisneros Acknowledgments Dissertation writing would be an overwhelmingly isolating process without a veritable army of support (at least, I felt like I needed an army). I’d like to acknowledge a few very important people, without whom I’d probably be crying in a corner, having only typed “My Dissertation” in bold in a word document and spending the subsequent six years fiddling with margins and font size. I’ve had an amazing committee behind me: John Watkins and Katherine Scheil braved countless emails and conversations, in varying levels of panic, and offered such kind, thoughtful, and eye-opening commentary on my work that I often wonder what I ever did to deserve their time and attention. And Giancarlo Casale’s expertise in Ottoman history has proven to be equal parts inspiring and intimidating. Also, a big thank you to Julia Schleck, under whom I worked during my Masters degree, whose work was the inspiration for my entry into Anglo-Muslim studies. The bulk of my dissertation work would have been impossible (this is not an exaggeration) without access to one of the most astounding digital archives I’ve ever seen. The English Broadside Ballad Archive, maintained by the Early Modern Center in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has changed markedly over the course of the eight or so years I’ve been using it, and the tireless work of its director Patricia Fumerton and the whole EBBA team has made it as comprehensive and intuitive a collection as any scholar could ask for.

    EAST INDIA CLUB ROLL of HONOUR Regiments the EAST INDIA CLUB WORLD WAR ONE: 1914–1919

    THE EAST INDIA CLUB SOME ACCOUNT OF THOSE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB & STAFF WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR ONE 1914-1919 & WORLD WAR TWO 1939-1945 THE NAMES LISTED ON THE CLUB MEMORIALS IN THE HALL DEDICATION The independent ambition of both Chairman Iain Wolsey and member David Keating to research the members and staff honoured on the Club’s memorials has resulted in this book of Remembrance. Mr Keating’s immense capacity for the necessary research along with the Chairman’s endorsement and encouragement for the project was realised through the generosity of member Nicholas and Lynne Gould. The book was received in to the Club on the occasion of a commemorative service at St James’s Church, Piccadilly in September 2014 to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Second World War members were researched and added in 2016 along with the appendices, which highlights some of the episodes and influences that involved our members in both conflicts. In October 2016, along with over 190 other organisations representing clubs, livery companies and the military, the club contributed a flagstone of our crest to the gardens of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. First published in 2014 by the East India Club. No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form or by any electronic, mechanical or other means, now known or hereafter invented, including photocopying and recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing, from the East India Club.
