131661Very Good. A single leaf octavo printed recto only slightly marked with a marginal crease to a top corner; two light horizontal creases where folded for posting; in very good condition. The invitation headed '9th L.H.O.C.A.' 9th Light Horse Old Comrades Association invites members to give a hearty welcome to the old commanding officer Colonel William Henry Scott 1881-1960 who 'will be in Adelaide for a few days this month on a visit to his son'. The date for the event is not given but we suggest some time in the 1920s as Scott 'rose to brigadier in 1929' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Darley writes presumably as president of the association that 'it will be quite informal come along in your working clothes or anyhow you like and you need not get your hair cut for the occasion. If you clean your boots be sure to use NUGGET. Refreshments liquid only will be provided'. The ADB provides the answer to the unasked question: 'Scott contributed items to the "Bulletin" under the pseudonym of "Nugget" an ironic nickname considering his great height'. <p>Dornbusch 384; Fielding and O'Neill page 233; Trigellis-Smith 279. unknown

10582200. Unidentified maker Judean oil lamp circa 2nd century AD documents domestic lighting practices and symbolic uses of light in Roman-period Judea. The object supports research into ancient household economies ceramic production and the cultural significance of illumination within Jewish daily and ritual life. Oil lamps functioned as essential sources of artificial light in pre-industrial societies and in the context of Judea they also intersected with textual and symbolic traditions in which light signified moral guidance wisdom and spiritual presence.<br /> Terracotta oil lamp measuring approximately 3 x 2 inches formed in a molded type with a central discus featuring a raised decorative motif possibly depicting an animal figure consistent with regional iconographic styles. The surface bears a dark red to brown slip with visible shaping along the nozzle and reservoir typical of mass-produced Roman-period lamps. The enclosed oil chamber would have held olive oil with a wick extending through the nozzle for illumination. The lamp is presented within a modern plastic display case mounted on a wooden base. The compact form and molded decoration align with widely distributed ceramic lamp types used throughout Judea and the broader eastern Roman provinces.<br /> Oil lamps in this period were ubiquitous domestic objects reflecting both the availability of olive oil and the absence of alternative lighting technologies. Households commonly relied on multiple lamps to extend activity beyond daylight hours with additional ambient light occasionally provided by hearths or ovens. Within Jewish textual traditions including references in the Torah and later writings lamps and light carried sustained symbolic meaning associated with righteousness knowledge and divine presence reinforcing their dual role as both utilitarian and culturally resonant objects. Minor surface wear consistent with age; no visible structural damage; overall very good condition. unknown
10582Ancient Lamp from Judea circa 2nd century AD and later. 3" x 2". Lamp has a molded design in discus a sheep among other objects with dark red to brown slip. The lamp is inside a plastic display box with a wooden base. Oil lamps were made of common pottery in the ancient world people did not have much light at nights most homes would contain several oil lamps because olive oil was in abundance and therefore not expensive. There was also an oven that provided a little bit of light but the oil lamps were the main source of light in every home. In excellent condition.<br/><br/>Lamps appear in the Torah and other Jewish sources as a symbol of "lighting" the way for the righteous the wise and for love and other positive values. While fire was often described as being destructive light was given a positive spiritual meaning. The oil lamp and its light were important household items and this may explain their symbolism. Oil lamps were used for many spiritual rituals. unknown books

Titlepage a bit shavedin inner margin. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Ritter's announcement of his discovery of ultraviolet light in a halfpage letter addressed to Gilbert's Annalen. With that discovery it became clear that visible light represents no more than a fraction of a continous spectrum.A year earlier in 1800 William Herschel discovered infrared light. This was the first time that a form of light beyond visible light had been detected. After hearing about Herschel's discovery of an invisible form of light beyond the red portion of the spectrum Ritter decided to conduct experiments to determine if invisible light existed beyond the violet end of the spectrum as well. He had heard that blue light caused a greater reaction in silver chloride than red light did. Ritter decided to measure the rate at which silver chloride reacted to the different colors of light. He directed sunlight through a glass prism to create a spectrum. He then placed silver chloride in each color of the spectrum and found that it showed little change in the red part of the spectrum but darkened toward the violet end of the spectrum. Johann Ritter then decided to place silver chloride in the area just beyond the violet end of the spectrum in a region where no sunlight was visible. To his amazement this region showed the most intense reaction of all. This showed for the first time that an invisible form of light existed beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum. This new type of light which Ritter called Chemical Rays later became known as ultraviolet light or ultraviolet radiation the word ultra means beyond. - Parkinson Breakthroughs: 1801 P. </em> unknown
