HISTORICAL PHOTOGRAPHS The Property of a Gentleman 1 BEATO (FELICE) A 4-part panorama of the British fleet at Odin Bay, albumen print, framed and glazed, overall image to view 220 x 1120mm., Henry Hering, 1862 £4,000 - 6,000 €4,700 - 7,100 Beato took a series of photographs, including this panorama, whilst accompanying the British Expeditionary Forces in China during the Second Opium War. This panorama, looking southwest across Odin Bay towards Dalian Bay, shows French and British ships regrouping on their way to Peking from Hong Kong, with the British encampment at Talien-Wan in the foreground. The negatives were created between June 26th and July 21st 1860, but were first printed in 1862 by Henry Hering. 2 CAMERON (JULIA MARGARET) Henry Thoby Prinsep, albumen print, inscribed “registered photograph”, signed by the artist and Henry Prinsep in ink on the mount [Cox & Ford 739], 260 x 200mm., [1865] £4,000 - 6,000 €4,700 - 7,100 Henry T. Prinsep (1793-1878) was Cameron’s brother-in-law. After serving in the Bengal Civil Service he was appointed Director of the East India Company in 1849, before becoming a member of the Council of India from 1858 to 1874. He lived at Little Holland House, Kensington. 3 CAMERON (JULIA MARGARET) ‘Thomas Carlyle’, carbon print, inscribed T. Carlyle in ink on contemporary mount, 310 x 240mm., [c.1880] £2,000 - 4,000 €2,400 - 4,700 The original negative for this image was created in 1867 at Little Holland House, most likely when Carlyle (1795-1881), the historian, essayist and moralist, was sitting for a portrait by G.F. Watts (a close friend of Cameron). A contemporary critique of the photograph states: “The shaggy philosopher appears in every form of picturesque ruggedness, but there is one profile of him which gives the fire and tenderness present in no other famous face as it is in his, and which no painter has caught as well as Mrs Cameron has” (V&A online catalogue, vam.ac.uk/item/O16477). This image was printed by Henry Herschel Hay Cameron, Julia Margaret’s youngest son, who established a portrait studio on Mortimer Street, London, in the 1880s. He went on to found the Linked Ring, the influential photographic society that expounded the virtues of photography as both art form and science. Books, Maps, Manuscripts & Historical Photographs | 5 4 6 6 | Bonhams 5 4 FENTON (ROGER) ‘On the Beach, Hythe, 1860’, albumen print, 215 x 290mm., [c.1860] £800 - 1,200 €950 - 1,400 A variant composition of this image appears as plate 40 in John Hannavy’s Roger Fenton of Crimble Hall (1975), p.180. In the caption for the plate Hannavy states: “We have alternative compositions for most of Fenton’s studies involving people...It would be interesting to know how many attempts he made to get this very precise composition right - or was this his first and only attempt?” The print presented here, an atypical subject for Fenton, would suggest that several attempts at the photograph were made. 5 FENTON (ROGER) Two photographs from The Seasons series: ‘Prince of Wales.

THE BATTLE OF HAMPDEN AND ITS AFTERMATH BY ROBERT FRASER The successful British attack on the Penobscot Valley in fall 1814 was to annex eastern Maine to Canada, a move taken to protect the important line of communications between Halifax and Quebec. New England merchants had opposed the War of 1812, as it destroyed their interna- tional trade, and most New Englanders tried to remain neutral during the fray. At Hampden, enemy threats brought them out to defend their homes. Although Great Britain returned the area to the United States at war’s end, the occupation of the Penobscot Valley had lasting implica- tions for the District of Maine. Between 1954 and 1984 Robert Fraser was assistant curator at the Cohasset Historical Society and a consultant to other historical societies. He writes historical articles for local newspa- pers and national magazines, and has published two books on light- houses and another on local history.

  • Hero Tales from American History ROOSEVELT Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt Hero Tales from American History Courage Under Fire
    LODGE hero tales from american history ROOSEVELT henry cabot lodge and theodore roosevelt hero tales from american history Courage under Fire. Self-Sacrifice. Battles that Changed America. American history is full of men and women who have acted courageously when their families, communities and country needed them most. Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt discovered they both loved telling the stories of these outstanding individuals who helped make America. They pared down their favorite stories to 26 and gave them as a gift to the young people of America in 1895. The McConnell Center is pleased to make this volume available again to America’s youth in hopes that it inspires them to learn more of our history and encourages them to new acts of heroism. Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924) served in the United States Senate from 1893 until his death in 1924. He was one of the most important American statesmen of the early 20th century and was leader of the Republican Party in the Senate. Among the books he authored were important biographies of George Washington, Daniel Webster and Alexander Hamilton. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was the 26th president of the United States. He authored more than 18 books, won the Nobel Peace Prize and accomplished enough to earn his place alongside George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson on Mount Rushmore, our most recognized monument to American political heroes.

LUCINDA FRANCES STEPHENS ro the memory of my Mother is this humble work dedicated. She in whose heart the love of her kin dwelt, and her great sympathy for humanity, made of her modest home, a veritable orphanage. Years ago this collection was begun by saving n~wspaper clippings of the Crawfords--~y ma­ ternal kinsfolk. As the number of articles increased my interest gr«!w till I begun to· wish to learn more by inquir­ i11g for data. This was begun on a visit to the two ge!ntlewomen, Misses Jane and Parmelia Craw­ ford at their colonial home, Oak Hall, in Colum­ lJja County, Georgia. These two estimable ladies were cousins of my mother. Not having the remotest idea that any one but m~self would ever care for my collection, I did not state in every instance from whence the article was C()pied. Now after a lapse of something like a q_ aarter of a century, and I at the age of eighty­ six years, these old records are gotten out to be p llblished in response to the desire of some to lillve a copy. Several have recently sent in their lines up to elate. In explanation of any dates which conflict: they a.re used, without change, just as received from ectch branch of the family. MRS.

  • War of 1812 1 War of 1812
    War of 1812 1 War of 1812 The War of 1812 was a military conflict fought between the forces of the United States of America and those of the British Empire. The Americans declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions because of Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, and over national honour after humiliations on the high seas. Tied down in Europe until 1814, the British at first used defensive strategy, repelling multiple American invasions of the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. However, the Americans gained control over Lake Erie in 1813, seized parts of western Ontario, and destroyed the dream of an Indian confederacy and an independent Indian state in the Midwest under British sponsorship. In the Southwest General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Creek nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. With the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy, sending in three large invasion armies. British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed the British to capture and burn Washington, D.C. American victories in September 1814 and January 1815 repulsed all three British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans. The war was fought in three theaters: At sea, warships and privateers of both sides attacked each other's merchant ships. The British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and mounted large-scale raids in the later stages of the war.
