188096441Lock and Whitfield circa 1880. 1880. Fine. - A richly hued 4-3/4 inch high by 3-1/2 inch wide woodburytype portrait of the then Crown Prince Frederick III mounted onto 11-1/4 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide stiff cream stock. An eagle & crown device above a light gray printed decorative frame highlights the image. The subject is identified in the same light gray centered within the lower half of the sheet. "Specially taken for this work by Lock and Whitfield" is centered below the title. Near fine. <p>Friedrich Wilhelm Nikolaus Karl 1831-1888 was German Emperor and King of Prussia for a period of 99 days in 1888 the year in which he passed away. The period came to be known as the Year of the Three Emperors as his father Wilhelm I passed away in March of that year and Frederick Wilhelm's only son afflicted with cancer of the larynx died in October. Though he professed a hatred of war Crown Prince Frederick had distinguished himself in the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars. He was admired by both friends and enemies for his humane conduct.<p>Both a printing process and the print which it produces Woodburytype was invented and patented by Walter B. Woodbury in 1864. A photomechanical process Woodbury type prints are made from exposing a dichromate-sensitized sheet of gelatin to UV light shining through a photographic negative. Each area of the gelatin hardens to a depth in proportion to the amount of exposure to the light before it is then soaked in warm water. The relief image is then pressed onto a sheet of lead to create an intaglio metal printing plate. Lock and Whitfield, circa [1880]. unknown

1845DEMO016703ILondon: Theatre Royal Drury Lane Nov. 8 1845. First edition. 20x10in 47cm. Very Good. Central horizontal fold minor marginal chipping. <br/><br/>Announces two ballets starring Adele Dumilatre and Lucien Petipa. Adele Dumilatre became a premier danseuse after she was the "woman who first danced Myrtha Queen of the Wilis the icy counterpart to the forgiving warm and full-blooded Giselle". Dumilatre was "known for her chaste elegance onstage". As a successful French-born ballerina of the second tier she was a rarity. She performed at Drury Lane in 1844-45 and at La Scala in 1946. After her professional retirement in 1848 she became the Countess Drake del Castillo. Provenance: From the Vernon Schwartz collection. His note on the verso says it was a gift from Kay Ballard. Ballard played Lola in "Sheba" the first musical adaptation of William Inge's play "Come Back Little Sheba" which was in 1974 at Chicago's Drury Lane Theater where Schwartz was the Resident Director. Finally J. P. Harley was the Stage Manager in 1845 at Drury Lane. Probably he is the same Harley who was "the popular comic actor who had the best roles in Dickens's first three plays" and for whom he wrote the lead role of Tom Grig in his play "The Lamplighter".

1866141595Adelaide: Townsend Duryea 1866. First Edition. Hardcover. Adelaide Townsend Duryea circa 1866. A photograph album 254 × 340 mm containing a magnificent panorama of Adelaide comprising five roughly uniform albumen paper photographs mounted as issued slightly overlapping to form a continuous image 124 × 880 mm on a linen-backed card mount 244 × 951 mm folded into three plus 12 albumen paper photographs nine of them around 130 × 200 mm or the reverse one 130 × 172 mm and the last two approximately 220 × 285 mm mounted on the rectos of stiff card leaves. Original russet pebble-grain cloth lettered in gilt on the front cover; cloth slightly flecked with minor wear to the extremities; endpapers foxed with slight loss to silverfish and the rear free endpaper is missing; leading edge ribbon ties appear never to have been inserted; mounts lightly cockled and occasionally lightly spotted and foxed; bottom margin of the final mount lightly stained with trifling loss to silverfish; minimal signs of age and use; overall a very pleasing copy with the photographs - and in particular the stunning panorama - in uniformly fine condition. The twelve individual photographs are captioned in pencil on the mounts: 'View in botanical gardens - showing Asylum' 'View in Botanical Gardens' 'View in Gardens' five captioned simply 'Botanical Gardens' 'Bridge between N & S Adelaide' 'near Willunga' and two captioned 'Willunga' both superb large-format prints. <p>New York-born Townsend Duryea 1823-1888 emigrated to Australia Melbourne in 1852 and commenced work as a photographer the following year. In 1855 he relocated his studio to Adelaide. By the early 1870s Duryea's panoramas royal portraits and prizes won in Society of Arts photographic competitions had made him famous 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Much more detail on Duryea may be had from the lengthy article in Joan Kerr's 'Dictionary of Australian Artists . to 1870'. However the panorama in this album is not the one described in Kerr 'a fold-out 360-degree panorama of Adelaide taken from the tower of Adelaide Town Hall in 1865 was the album's major feature' nor is it the larger panorama 'taken from the top of the GPO tower soon after it was completed in 1870'. The present panorama is taken from a local rise in North Adelaide and sweeps left to right from the hills towards the sea. All of these panoramas are very rare indeed not least because 'Duryea's studio and enormous collection of glass-plate negatives stated to number 50 000 were destroyed by fire in 1875'. This catastrophe effectively ended Duryea's career as a photographer. It must assuredly account for the genuine scarcity of material by Duryea on the open market other than bread-and-butter carte de visite portraits. <p>This album is very rare in our experience and if the available records are any guide for long before we came on the scene in the mid-1970s. Although this is the fourth example we have handled it is also only the fourth one we have seen on the open market in that time. We have inspected three other examples in institutions; all seven copies are bound similarly and contain the same panorama. However the balance of the contents varies in quantity and image selection in each instance. <p>Duryea began to advertise these albums in Adelaide newspapers in August 1866. One such from the 'South Australian Register' for 28 August 1866 reads: 'DURYEA'S VIEW ALBUMS. These Albums are neatly bound in cloth and form a beautiful acquisition either for the drawing-room table or transmission home. A PANORAMIC VIEW of the CITY of ADELAIDE and the SUBURBS three feet in length has been introduced as a Frontispiece; and as a further advantage purchasers have the privilege of choosing Photographs from a large Album containing 90 of the most interesting and picturesque Views of Adelaide and the Country. The above are open to the inspection of the public at Mr. Duryea's Studio 66 and 68 King William-street. Any of the Views mentioned above can be had separately. Photographs of Gentlemen's Country Seats Business Offices Shops &c. taken at the shortest notice by Ross's Improved Wide Angle Lens'. <p>Provenance: Edwin Ashby 1861-1941 South Australian property developer and naturalist; by descent. While Ashby was obviously not the first owner of this album its numerous images of the Botanical Gardens must have appealed to him. The fine gardens he established at his property 'Wittunga' at Blackwood in the Adelaide hills after the turn of the century were later donated to the State by his heirs and are now the Wittunga Botanic Garden.
