[Paris, Gihaut frères or Mainz, Joseph Scholz, c. 1838]. £ 950 Oblong folio (38.5 × 27.5cm), 18 hand-coloured lithograph plates, each with caption in French, German and English; a little foxed; near contemporary brown cloth, upper cover lettered in gilt Algiers ; spine repaired. Raffet’s superior draughtsmanship captured the battle of the French army against the last Ottoman stronghold in Algeria in 1837, when Constantine fell and the French established a firm colonial regime lasting well into the second half of the twentieth century. This composite album documents the campaign from beginning to the bitter end, and unites 18 lithographs, which had been published first as the two suites Retraite de Constantine and Prise de Constantine . The bibliographer Dayot notes that later issues appeared with a shortened imprint in the plate margins; ours, however, does not indicate any printer or publisher. This late issue, not described by Dayot, omits the two lithographic titles and one croquis , a composition of vignettes. An album with these 18 plates present here was issued in Mainz by Joseph Scholz, with his imprint on the plate titled Assaut . This plate, like all others, is without printer’s or publisher’s name. Béraldi Les graveurs du XIXe siècle Raffet 536-542, 543-556; OCLC gives two locations, Brown University and Bibliothèque Nationale. 4. ALKEN, Henry [ pseudonym Peter PASQUIN]. FLOWERS FROM NATURE.

The first is Prime-Rose; a rather upright lady, or the Scarlet Runner; a collector for the ‘Two-Penny Post’ (London and suburban deliveries) runs across a street, holding his pouch and ringing his bell. There are five similar sheets, all with the same signature and imprint, 2 M ARLBOROUGH R ARE B OOKS – B OOTH 3 0 3 and all with six characters which illustrate costume and manners. Sweet P— seems to be a portrait of Lord Petersham walking in profile to the left towards a large town house and holding a riding-switch. There is some disagreement as to who actually drew the plates, Henry Alken according to DNB and the Fitz Eugene Dixon sale, but George ascribes them to the otherwise unknown H. Atken which must just be an error. Still others have decided on Egerton or Pyne, but Henry Alken seems to be the most widely accepted attribution. M.

The later pages of the the work record the accident during racing trials off Cowes when the yacht was de-masted. King Edward VII and Lipton were both on board and narrowly escaped injury. Lipton, the most persistent challenger in the history of the America’s Cup was in all to make five attempts at recovering the trophy for Britain. Shamrock II built, by Messrs. William Denny and Brothers of Dumbarton, for Lipton’s second attempt was to loose at New York to the yacht Columbia owned by J. Pierpont Morgan syndicate.

Edinburgh: Paten and Tetchy. London Arthur Hall and Co. Rothesay: William Logan. Millport: David Wisher. 1864. £ 950 FIRST EDITION, L ARGE PAPER CONTAINING PHOTOGRAPHS . 4to, pp. [vi], [1]-[8], [2] ‘photographs’ 9-288; 8 photographs by Thomas Annan on mounts with lithograph text, engraved map, hand coloured in outline and a double-page lithograph of a Celtic sculptured stone; some occasional spotting and foxing to title; original brown cloth decorated in blind and lettered on spine in gilt; inscribed on title, presumably by an original subscriber, ‘J. McKirdy’ whose family is described in chapter XIX. The first publication to include topographical and architectural subjects by Thomas Annan. Two of the photographs in the work are particularly fine, that of ‘Loch Ranza Castle, Arran’ finely framed with fishing boats in the foreground and the gentle curve of the hill behind the castle; and the imposing strength given to the Scottish tower house ‘Castle - Little Cumbray’ well contrasted above the rocky coastline. ‘Annan’s landscape work is less well known. In the 1850s and 1860s he took a number of fine landscapes in Scotland, which demonstrate a lyrical approach and sensitivity to history and atmosphere. Contemporary criticism spoke of them as “indicative of deep poetic feeling, and strong appreciation of the beautiful in the artist” ( Photographic News , 6 Jan 1865, 182)’ [ODNB] The work is more commonly met with, without the Annan photographs, in it’s octavo incarnation. This is not suprizing as the originally published price for the smaller format was 7s 6d while this quarto edition cost 25s According to The Bookseller for October 31 1863, the first intention was to publish a separate portfolio of photographs, however we have not been able to locate a copy issued in this format and probably a decision to incorporate Annan’s within the text was felt to be more convenient.

  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

  • Foxe's Book of Martyrs
    FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS CHAPTER I - History of Christian Martyrs to the First General Persecutions Under Nero Christ our Savior, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, hearing the confession of Simon Peter, who, first of all other, openly acknowledged Him to be the Son of God, and perceiving the secret hand of His Father therein, called him (alluding to his name) a rock, upon which rock He would build His Church so strong that the gates of hell should not prevail against it. In which words three things are to be noted: First, that Christ will have a Church in this world. Secondly, that the same Church should mightily be impugned, not only by the world, but also by the uttermost strength and powers of all hell. And, thirdly, that the same Church, notwithstanding the uttermost of the devil and all his malice, should continue. Which prophecy of Christ we see wonderfully to be verified, insomuch that the whole course of the Church to this day may seem nothing else but a verifying of the said prophecy. First, that Christ hath set up a Church, needeth no declaration. Secondly, what force of princes, kings, monarchs, governors, and rulers of this world, with their subjects, publicly and privately, with all their strength and cunning, have bent themselves against this Church! And, thirdly, how the said Church, all this notwithstanding, hath yet endured and holden its own! What storms and tempests it hath overpast, wondrous it is to behold: for the more evident declaration whereof, I have addressed this present history, to the end, first, that the wonderful works of God in His Church might appear to His glory; also that, the continuance and proceedings of the Church, from time to time, being set forth, more knowledge and experience may redound thereby, to the profit of the reader and edification of Christian faith.
