191411263London: G.W. Bacon & Co 1914. 530 by 705mm. 20.75 by 27.75 inches. Chromolithographed map laid on wood cut into a jigsaw housed in original box small piece missing upper right. An humorous serio-comic map of Europe in jigsaw form showing a satirical depiction of the beginning of the First World War. The principal combatants are portrayed in canine form: a British bulldog French poodle German dachshund and an Austro-Hungarian mongrel. The Royal Navy is controlled by John Bull in the costume of a Jack Tar. To the left Russia is portrayed as a steamroller driven by the Tsar who has already trapped the tail of the Austrian mongrel and threatens to crush all before him. The mongrel is also being stung by a Serbian hornet and is leashed to the German dachshund who is having his nose bitten by the British bulldog. Below the fighting dogs lies Italy as a soldier with gun in hand deciding which side to join. To the right Greece stares menacingly with dagger drawn at the Ottoman Empire who holds the gateway to the Black Sea in one hand and German ships in the other. A German dachshund puppy sits behind him on a leash sporting a fez a reference to the 1914 Ottoman-German Alliance. There is an extensive note at the bottom outlining the events leading up to the beginning of the war and concluding defiantly "Peace has gone to the Dogs for the present - until a satisfactory muzzle has been found for that Dachshund." The note is by Walter Emanuel 1869-1915 a regular writer for the satirical magazine Punch. The artist responsible for the piece is unknown. Emanuel was known for his anthropomorphic books about dogs produced in collaboration with the artist Cecil Aldin including 'The Dogs of War' 1906. Although the title is similar to the present work this was in fact the biography of a Norfolk spaniel. G.W. Bacon & Co, unknown

17904504805Paris 1790. Small hole to A4 affecting one word otherwise fine. Octavo 19 1 pp; disbound from a volume. <p><p>A very rare early "satire on French politics and English colonization" Ferguson. Likening those who fled the tumult of the French Revolution to the English convicts transported to Australia the author petitions them to join the future king of France in the newly established penal colony at Botany Bay: "le vaste continent des Terres Australes leur offre un pays nouveau asyle fait pour eux" "The vast continent of the Southern Lands offers them a new country a refuge made for them". The "count" continues that "c'est la Nation que vous etes dignes d'etentre c'est la Nation que je suis fait pour commander" "this is the nation that you deserve and that I am meant to command" and explains that in the Antipodes the laws are very different and virtue and vice are often upended.</p> <p>The satire evidently found an audience in Revolutionary France: a second edition was published in 1799. It appeared in the very first years of the English colonisation of Australia at a time when France had its own interests in the region and its own problems at home. La Pérouse commanding the Astrolabe and the Boussole arrived at Botany Bay on 24 January 1788 just as Arthur Phillip was moving the English settlement to Port Jackson. They spent six weeks in Australia before moving on.</p> <p>Toby R. Benis uses the pamplet to begin the introduction to his Romantic Diasporas: French Émigrés British Convicts and Jews 2009: "In 1799 a satirical pamphlet aimed at French émigrés and those inside the republic who sympathized with them appeared in England. Claiming to be produced in London the text was framed as an appeal from the Comte d'Artois Louis XVI's youngest brother calling on the 'cowards who fled France and to all those who have been banned from France-princes and valets traitors and bandits princesses and prostitutes' to join him in the British penal colony of Botany Bay: 'a new country made especially for them'. Styling d'Artois the "king of Botany Bay" the writer characterizes Australia as a de Sadian refuge for the worst elements of both Britain and the ancien regime bequeathed by the British government to the emigrant Prince and his circle to rule. A historical curiosity this document nonetheless points to a political and social dimension to exile in the Romantic period.". Romantic Diasporas focuses on how French emigrés Australian convicts and Britain's Jews embodied this state for Georgian society.</p> </p> . unknown

A tiny restored lack of paper to the upper part of the title page not affecting the text. Very rare anti-Protestant satire in the form of a dialogue between the renowned Protestant minister Mestrezat and the warden of the Charenton temple where Mestrezat officiated. Undoubtedly one of the most theatrical expressions of the Catholic-Protestant controversy which had then traded weapons of steel for those of paper Pierre de Beloy: ""The time of the Edict of Nantes was marked by interconfessional controversy both oral and written with the aim of defeating the opponent silencing him or ideally converting him leading him from error to truth."" Marianne Carbonnier-Burkard. Techener described this work as a ""witty and spiritual critique"" adding that it is a ""very rare piece unknown to the authors of La France protestante"" Librairie Techener 1888 no. 3903. The Charenton temple where Mestrezat officiated was the place of worship for Parisian Protestants in the 17th century at a time when the practice of the Reformed faith was banned in major cities under the provisions of the Edict of Nantes. The warden of the Charenton temple mockingly referred to in this pamphlet as a mere lamplighter has even been identified as the celebrated Pierre du Moulin the first pastor of the temple who had gained the affectation in 1599 of the land to the Reformed Church of Charenton where a temple was erected Tombeau de la mélancolie p. 737. The anonymous author ridicules both protagonistsJean Mestrezat is portrayed complaining to the warden about having been attacked by ""the wicked little Abbé de Clausone""the fiery polemicist Gabriel Martin Abbé de Clausone had indeed written scathing pamphlets against him.

1803021561London: Tegg and Castleman 1803. First Edition. Hardcover. Pages toned with scattered soiling and foxing pencil notes on endpapers; binding Fine. Modern calf-backed orange paper boards 4-1/8" x 7"; 72 pages. Frontispiece engraving by I. Taylor after a design by W. M. Craig. Scarce Gothic fiction employing Phantasmagoria developed in the late eighteenth century from the earlier magic lantern: illusionistic exhibitions and public entertainments in which "specters" were produced through the use of a magic lantern. One should not underestimate the horror felt by those whose vision not trained by photography or the cinema revealed to them spiritual entities that one could seemingly touch. According to an article by Terry Castle CRITICAL INQUIRY 15.1 Autumn 1988: page 39 A number of literary works of the period contain episodes in which magic lanterns are used to deceive credulous would-be ghost-seers. Friedrich Schiller's fragment DER GEISTERSEHER 1789 translated into English as THE GHOST-SEER; OR THE APPARITIONIST 1795 is the best known of such works. See also the anonymous Gothic tale PHANTASMAGORIA: OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAGICAL DECEPTION London 1803." Scarce early horror fiction. <br/><br/> Tegg and Castleman hardcover

19184190<p>Black and white photograph 238x189mm of Charlie Chaplin and Harry Lauder signed by both of them. Light creasing and some rubbing. Chaplin and Lauder were the leading comic performers of their day. They only appeared together in one short 1918 film which is probably when this photograph was taken. Signed photographs of the two together seem to be extremely rare and we have been unable to trace another one. Sold with this photograph is another photograph of Lauder inscribed by him to "Margo" and a postcard with a printed sketch of Lauder. There are also two letters and a legal settlement between Lauder and a Mabel Jarman from whom this photograph and accompanying documents came in which she agreed to hand over a number of letters for £780.</p> c1918
