180917298London: William Miller 1809. Hand-coloured aquatint engraving by D. Havell after Henry Salt on wove paper watermark 'J Whatman'. View of the British colonial island St. Helena prior to its becoming Napoleon's last residence<br/> <br/>Henry Salt artist traveller diplomat and collector of antiquities was born at Lichfield Staffordshire England 14 June 1780. He was destined to be a portrait-painter and on leaving school was taught drawing by Glover the watercolour-painter of Lichfield. In 1797 he went to London and became a pupil of Joseph Farington R.A. and in 1800 of John Hoppner R.A. The turning point in his career was 3 June 1802 when Salt left London for an eastern tour with George viscount Valentia afterwards Lord Mountnorris whom he accompanied as secretary and draughtsman. He visited India Ceylon and in 1805 Abyssinia returning to England on 26 Oct. 1806. He made many drawings some of which served to illustrate Lord Valentia's Voyages and Travels to India published in 1809. The present image is from a work titled Twenty-four Views in St. Helena the Cape India Ceylon the Red Sea Abyssinia and Egypt published by William Miller with hand-coloured aquatints by D. Havell and J. Bluck from Salt's own drawings. The originals of all these drawings were retained by Lord Valentia who also retained the ownership of the copper plates after Salt's death. The format and style of presentation of the plates is similar to Thomas and William Daniell's great work Oriental Scenery 1795-1808 and the artistry displayed by both Salt and his engravers is in many cases more than a match for the Daniell's images.<br/> <br/>Abbey Travel II 515 no.5.

1926R5107Moscow: Uzel 1926. Limited Edition. Paperback. Near Fine. Original grey wraps printed paper label tipped onto front cover; pp. 28. From a limited edition of 700 copies among the smallest print runs of any book in the Flegon collection. OCLC locates 5 copies. Alex Flegon founded the Flegnon Press in London becoming the first independent Russian-language publisher in the West -- his rivals including YMCA Press were largely subsidized by various political organizations notably the CIA. Vendor's mark on last leaf; some light rubbing along edges of covers; otherwise a lovely copy. <br/><br/>Alec Flegon 1924-2003 an emigre from Romania became a controversial London-based publisher of samizdat literature and Soviet trade directories during the Cold War. He was the first to publish Bulgakov's "Heart of a Dog" and Solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and he later published four Russian-language versions of Pasternak's "Dr. Zhivago" including one under a Moscow imprint lest Russian buyers be accused of importing anti-Soviet literature. His remarkable success at repeatedly getting manuscripts out of the Soviet Union led to the widespread view that he must have had contacts in the KGB and he used this reputation to his advantage garnering free publicity for his publications. He was accused of copyright infringement and/or piracy on more than one occasion the most famous example being his feuds with Solzhenitsyn and Svetlana Stalin. Nonetheless his perseverance made him an important figure in the publishing history of Russian literature in the West -- he was the first independent Russian-language publisher in the West and remained so for decades. His rivals were largely subsidized by various political organizations notably the CIA. Uzel paperback books
