25462The Clarendon Hotel Bond Street London. The entries all said to date from 1831. The Clarendon Hotel was once - as ‘Routledge’s Popular Guide to London’ stated in 1862 - ‘the most fashionable place in London’ and the present collection of autograph signatures from its guestbook all of them said to date from 1831 bear witness to the fact that - as ‘Gilbert’s Visitor’s Guide to London’ 1851 states - it was ‘frequented by the Nobility and Gentry and Foreigners of rank’. Its reputation had been made during the Regency period and in 1820 ‘Leigh’s New Picture of London’ stated that it ‘and Jaquiers are now one hotel’. The hotel’s fame is indicated by the fact that two years after the date of the present collection in 1833 the its pretensions were ridiculed from Scotland by ‘Blackwood’s Magazine’: ‘“I hope†said M‘Goul “it’s a goot house - no sand crunching upon the floor nor the rafters plack with peat reek.â€â€™ Walter Besant provides information regarding the hotel in his ‘Survey of London’ 1911 ‘At No. 169 on the west side of Bond Street was the Clarendon Hotel formerly the town house of the Dukes of Grafton and afterwards the residence about 1741 of the elder Pitt. The hotel was closed in 1877 and replaced by a row of shops.’ The revised ‘Survey’ 1980 provides more information. The present collection of material consists of a large number of autograph signatures on gilt-edged leaves extracted from the Clarendon Hotel guestbook: a total of seven full leaves dating from between 15 October and 2 November 1831 and nine slips cut from leaves seven of them dating from the April 1831. The material is in good condition with minor signs of age. Accompanying the material are two Typed Letters Signed to Mrs I. McArthur of Croydon from the City of Westminster Public Libraries. The first from the City Engineer and Surveyor W. W. Ratcliff 28 January 1953 refers her to the author of the second written three days later from the Archivist G. F. Osborn which states: ‘The Clarendon Hotel was situated on the west side of New Bond Street. Its number in 1831 was 169 but the building of that date covered the approximate frontage now taken up by Nos. 173-178 New Bond Street. At one time in the 1830s but not I think as early as 1831 it extended backwards and included No. 20 Albemarle Street.’ An autograph postscript reads: ‘Asprey corner of Bond St. & Grafton St. is 165 New Bond St. It must have been between Grafton St & the Bond St. entrance of the Royal Arcade backing on to what is now the Royal Institution 21 Albemarle St.’. Also present is a meticulous collection of manuscript material relating to the autographs presumably the work of Mrs. McArthur or associate including a four-page transcription of the material not entirely accurate dated by the writer to the year 1831 in a neat close hand an alphabetical index of names 2pp 4to and six pages of biographical information 6pp 4to relating to signatories. There are around 180 entries of names and titles with addresses occasionally added in another hand. A small percentage for example Talleyrand and Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy are clearly NOT the signatures of the parties named in these cases apparently entered by the same hotel staff who added the addresses but the range of variation between the different entries coupled with some spot-checking indicates that most are genuine signatures of the parties named although on some occasions the names of women are given in the hand of the ‘head of the family’. A few individuals for example the Count of Montara Sir Brook Taylor and the future prime minister Palmerston sign several times. An entire list of the names is as follows: the first four among the non-signatures Lord Southampton; Lord Godrich; Prince de Talleyrande; ‘Mr Wood 13 <> St.’; Lt.

1894120023AB1894. London Simpkin Marshall Hamilton Kent & Co. Ltd. 1894. 26.5 cm x 18.5 cm. Frontispiece VI 188 pages.18 illustrations including a map of the region around the Pyramids of Gizeh Mena Hotel Bulak. Hardcover publisher's original green cloth with gilt lettering and gilt embossed pictoral on front board. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Lower corner boards slightly bumped. Marking on front paste-down. Valleys between pastedowns and endpapers show tears. Binding a little shaky but overall still firm and strong. Interior is clean and bright. Extremely scarce publication ! Includes for example the following: The Desert and the Nile Valley / Mena House/ Inside the Great Pyramid / The Cemetry at Memphis / The Bazaars in Cairo / Christian and Mohammedan Observances / The Sphinx by Moonlight / Snipe-shooting in Egypt / etc. The book is divided into two parts: The first part deals primarily with describing Egypt as a tourist destination - the sights scenes and peoples encountered; the second part of the book offers "Hints to Invalids. Suggestions to Medical Men." In this latter section based upon a paper read before the British Medical Council in 1894 the benefits of Egypt's varied climate are offered as a cure for diseases "when every other form of treatment has failed." All forms of "chest disease where rest is desirale" chronic bronchitis chronic rheumatism and cases of "renal diseases and sufferers of gravel" would be ameliorated by the Egyptian winter. But "advanced heart disease or advanced organic disease of any organ excepting cases of chronic and extensive lung consolidation tubercular or otherwise which can be greatly benefitted" all forms of skin disease "insomnia except when arising from worry or excessive brain work" and "some forms of neurosis and hypochondriacs with a melancholy tendency" are deemed unsuited for the Egyptian cure. However "the drawbacks to a winter sojourn in Egypt and in fact anywhere out of England" were not to be ignored- the "distance from home" being among them. The book written when it was and in the manner it was gives the modern reader a glimpse into the lives and sensibilites of the upper section of the Victorian society that had the option and ability to find themselves "Wintering in Egypt." A chapter given over to the luxurious Mena House in Cairo is illustrative of the type of lifestyle and standards of comfort that book is aimed at. 'It is pleasant as one passes through the garden of "the precincts" to smell the delightful fragrance of the mignonette which even in the depth of winter is in full bloom. There are many other buildings at Mena which are worth seeing. The swimming bath and the dark photographing room are perhaps the most useful of these. There are arrangments for tennis croquet archery and golf; while opportunities for riding and driving exist on every side.' p.32 The Mena House Family Hotel with 80 guest rooms was opened in 1887. Originally bulit by the Khedive Ismail Pasha the ruler of Egypt to host Empress Eugenie the wife of Napoleon III Mena house - nicknamed the 'Mud Hut' - and estate grounds was owned and operated by Hugh and Ethel Locke-King. Just five years prior to the books publication the leading society figure of all European spas and resorts from the springs of Baden to the roulette tables of Monte Carlo visited Mena House. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales top had been welcomed by His Highness the Khedive who showed him the Pyramids. After lunch The Egyptian Gazette reported the party 'went over to the Mena Hotel and took coffee there. A year after 'Wintering in Egypt' was published in the winter of 1895-1896 Arthur Conan Doyle the creator of Sherlock Holmes stayed at Mena House. Throughout the 20th Century dignitaries from Winston Churchil and Richard Nixon and Holywood stars like Charlie Chaplin and Frank Sinatra enjoyed the opulent hospitality of Cairo's most prestigious hotels. The hotel served as an Allied hospital during the Great War. Amid the Second World War in November 1943 Mena House hosted a conference between Churchill Roosevelt and the Chinese leader Chiang Kai-Shek.

189619300Portland Oregon: St. Charles Hotel. Very Good. 1896. First Edition. Hardcover. Bound in 3/4 leather. The cloth on the cover is worn and peeling. Every other page is advertising which acted as a blotter for the fountain pens in use at the time. Some of those advertising pages have been removed or torn. A previous owner has tipped a page in showing "interesting signatures" he found. I make to claim as to the identity of these people as I am sure some are simply folks with the same names as other more famous people. Still a wonderful piece of Northwest history.

190446667Hot Spring: Mountain Park Hotel 1904. 1904. NORTH CAROLINA. First edition. 16mo. 16 x 9 cm 6 1/2" x 3 1/2" original red bi-fold pictorial wrappers printed in black with lettering and small illustrations hand-colored in silver illustrated with nine full-page and several in-text photographs. A charming pamphlet advertising one of the premier Southern resorts of its day. The 200-room Mountain Park Hotel offered a grand ballroom billiards bowling tennis riding stables and a golf course. The Wana-Luna Golf Club organized 1895 incorporated 1898 was one of the first in the region and employed a "competent professional golf instructor." Guests could take the hot mineral springs in a modern bathhouse that offered massage. The health benefits of the waters ranging in temperature from 96 to 110 degrees are touted here an analysis of their mineral content is provided by C.F. Chandler and C.E. Pellew and notice is given of a resident doctor under the direction of prominent Asheville physician Samuel Westray Battle. However this was no sanitarium and the pamphlet announces that "no consumptives will be received." Above all the Mountain Park Hotel was a "pleasure resort" with social opportunities including dining card parties dancing and music recitals. Guests traveled from throughout the East to visit Hot Springs which was served directly by the Southern Railway. The pamphlet details the railroad connections from major cities and provides a list of travel agents. Illustrations include a bird's-eye view of the resort various views of the hotel and grounds the ballroom the bathhouse and the railway. The Mountain Park Hotel was built in 1886 by an investment group The Southern Improvement Co. In 1891 they sold it to Col. James Rumbaugh a leading figure in the town and the owner of an earlier hotel in this location. From January to June 1904 the hotel was managed by Edgar B. Moore here identified as the proprietor who also ran the Kenilworth Inn in Asheville and the Gladstone on Narragansett Pier and who leased part of the Biltmore Estate grounds for a hunting and fishing club. An ad for the Kenilworth Inn appears on the final page of this pamphlet. Moore’s brief tenure as manager of the Mountain Park Hotel ended in a nationally publicized controversy. On June 17 John C. Rumbough acting as agent for his parents took possession of the hotel citing the failure of Moore to comply with certain terms of his lease Rumbough alleged he had not maintained the hotel furnishings and grounds in good order. According to Moore he was threatened by armed men and unlawfully arrested which lead to stories such as “Armed Men in Possession of Hotel” New York Tribune July 5 and “War of Hotel Men” New York Times July 6 and to Moore suing Rumbough for $50000 for damages and false arrest. Rumbough denied Moore’s allegations and characterized his actions as peaceful and lawful. He managed the hotel briefly before finding another proprietor. The Mountain Park Hotel was destroyed by fire in 1920 and never rebuilt. Remnants of the foundation can be seen on the grounds of the present-day resort. Modest wear to the right upper corner and light creasing to the lower edge of the first leaf else a lovely fine copy and an important North Carolina landmark. Mountain Park Hotel, [1904]. unknown
