New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 456 p. The rivalry between Russia and Britain over the autonomous Province of Eastern Rumelia is a historical fact. This study examines tis fact via two historical events concerning the development of the Province - the process of establishment and administrative organization of Eastern Rumelia (1878-1879) and the event of unification between the Province and the Principality of Bulgaria. It argues that the British authorities created the Province of Eastern Rumelia and later they defended the act of unification with the purpose to thwart the Russian political advancement in the Balkans. The British political aim was successfully accomplished as Russia achieved to preserve its political domination in the Province only until 1885 when it opposed the act of unification. This research is based on archival documentary sources and secondary sources. The archive collections used for preparation of this work are the collections of the Foreign Office of the National Archive. The existing historiography on the issue of Eastern Rumelia is very limited as regards the variety of examined topics, though a considerable number of researches are dedicated to the act of unification and the political, cultural and economic development of the Province from 1878 to 1885.

Tavola tratta dal celebre The Musical Entertainer, stampato a Londra da Charles Corbett, [1737-1739 o dopo]. Bickham è principalmente conosciuto per quest'opera incisa, pubblicata per la prima volta in parti quindicinali, ciascuna con quattro tavole, tra il gennaio 1737 e il dicembre 1739. Una seconda edizione fu anche pubblicata in parti tra il 1740 e il 1741, e una terza, stampata dalle tavole originali, fu pubblicata da John Ryall nel 1765. Le 200 tavole sono canzoni di Purcell, Handel, Haydn, Corelli, Pepusch e altri, ognuna con una vignetta incisa, e a parte il loro interesse musicale, forniscono una visione affascinante della vita sociale del tempo. Otto dei disegni sono di Gravelot, e secondo l'opinione di Ray molti altri sono stati imitati dall'opera di Watteau, il che lo porta a dire che il canzoniere "può quasi essere considerato francese". George Bickham il Giovane era incisore, editore, tipografo e uno dei primi caricaturisti inglesi. Ha prodotto pubblicazioni didattiche, caricature politiche e stampe pornografiche. Era il figlio dell'incisore George Bickham il Vecchio, che pubblicò la Universal Penman. Acquaforte, stampata su carta vergata coeva, con margini, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

London: Smith, Elder & Co; Cohen-de Ricci 145-146; Ray, French Illustrated Book, 12 Plate taken from The Musical Entertainer. London: Charles Corbett, [1737-1739 or later]. Bickham was principally known for this engraved work, first issued in fortnightly parts, each with four plates, between January 1737 and December 1739. A second edition was also brought out in parts 1740-41, and a third, printed from the original plates, was issued by John Ryall in 1765. The 200 plates are songs by Purcell, Handel, Haydn, Corelli, Pepusch and others, each headed with an engraved vignette, and quite apart from their musical interest they provide fascinating insight into the social life of the time. Eight of the designs are after Gravelot, and in Ray's opinion many others were imitated from Watteau's Oeuvre, leading him to say the song book "may almost be regarded as French." George Bickham the Younger (c. 1706–1771) was an English etcher and engraver, a printseller, and one of the first English caricaturists. He produced didactic publications, political caricatures, and pornographical prints. He was the son of the engraver George Bickham the Elder (1684–1758), who published the Universal Penman (1733–41).
