In a career that spanned just over twenty years he sailed with Captain William Bligh circumnavigated Australia and encouraged the use of that name for the continent which had previously been known as New Holland. He survived shipwreck and disaster only to be imprisoned for violating the terms of his scientific passport by changing ships and carrying prohibited papers. He identified and corrected the effect upon compass readings of iron components and equipment on board wooden ships and he wrote what may be the first work on early Australian exploration A Voyage to Terra Australis."Wikepedia </em> unknown

1544ABC_46700The Hague: sold by Frans Duyck Pietersz. colophon: Delft printed by Symon Jansz. 1544. Modern half brown buckram marbled paper sides blue endpapers with an older ca. 1840 front wrapper bound in. 4to. With the woodcut crowned coat of arms of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V with the order of the Golden Fleece a column on either side and the motto plus oultre on the title-page. Set in 2 sizes of textura gothic type with 2 lombardic initials cast type. First and only edition of a rare ordinance printed in Delft. The ordinance promulgated 19 May 1544 tried to reduce or at least prevent a further rise in crime in Holland and even in other parts of the Holy Roman Empire by addressing the negligence of officers in enforcing the law. It notes that crime rates - from murders to fraud and other smaller incidents - are rising in Holland and across the Holy Roman Empire because officers of the law are failing to do their jobs in the eyes of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and other lower ranking officials like the stadtholders in the Low Countries. The present ordinance addresses problems concerning the enabling fraudulent behaviour towards creditors of any kind authorities too readily issuing letters permitting deferment of payment resulting in an exorbitant volume of unpaid debts. In total the ordinance contains 40 rules and regulations mainly for officers of the law but also for criminals and others profiting from the lack of law enforcement decreed and published with the intent of bringing down crime rates and reminding officers of their duties. The printer Simon Jansz. in Delft printed the ordinance in two issues the present for Frans Duyck Pietersz. in the Hague and the other with his own imprint Typ. Batava 5796 2 copies.With contemporary marginal annotations and underlining of the text in pen. The second flyleaf is the older front wrapper with an inscription in brown ink on the back: "19 Mei 1544" along with an old catalogue clipping and a few pencilled bibliographical notes. With edges of the leaves slightly frayed slight browning throughout mostly around the edges but overall in good condition.l Petit Pamfletten 1 1882 71; STCN 119453460 2 copies cf. 831527528: Delft issue; Typ.

6463Eight letters from Mary F. Macareth to F. Holland Day comprising replies and queries to his letters over a sixth month period Aug. 11 1890 to Feb. 13 1891 regarding her father George Macareth who was a close associate with John Keats in early days of studying medicine. Fred Holland Day was an enthusiastic collector of John Keats amassed a large collection of Keats and Keatsiana and he led the campaign which resulted in the first memorial to Keats placed in Hampstead Church in 1894. These letters were written by Keats during his stays in London and Madrid while he was doing especially comprehensive research on Keats. In these letters it is clear that Day was trying to obtain Keats-related material from Macareth and the exchanges indicate a rather straightforward individual trying at once to help a prominent figure as well as trying to safeguard her own interests see below. Eight letters 12mo very good or better condition all but one are accompanied by the original envelope addressed to “F. Holland Day Esqre with the following addresses: 39 Medford Square London W.C. 18 Tavistock Street Medford Square London W.C. c/o Muring Brothers & Co S. Muchopyate Street London. E.C. Grand Hotel de la Paiz Madrid; and “ Normyâ€Mass America1 Aug 11 1890 3pp; 2 Aug 21 1890. 28 pages in total. Some brief snatches: aug 11 daughter of George Macareth “I have a pencil drawing which I believe was done by Keats or Severn whey they were all young men. I do not think it a flattering likeness.†Oct 11th. “I have this morning received the photograph of Keats forwarded from Elvington. She writes about several paintings which may be of some interest she will write to her brother as well and then: “Will you excuse me if I ask plainly what is your position or calling in life as I should then feel more freedom in my correspondence. Of course you are a perfect stranger to me so I trust will take my question in the right light.†Oct 17: “I received the enclosed photograph from my sister. I think the same as the one I have. It is a very good one and represents my Father at the age of about 70. I have received an autograph of my Father’s which I enclose. I fear I did not answer your question about the pencil drawing which you asked in your last letter. the lost miniature is not at all the same. I know the drawing is perfectly safe only I cannot get to it at present. Dec 4: I received your kind letter yesterday and am extremely obliged to you for lending me the prints from my Father’s picture which I think are very good. Feb 13 1891: Dear sir. I am now in possession of the pencil drawing of my Father and shall be glad to forward it to you if you still wish to see it. . I think it was done by Severn.†George Mackereth who kept trying to discard his middle name Wilson were not only fellow students but shared accommodation with Keats for a year from October 1815 at 28 St Thomas Street now marked by a blue plaque though the house is long gone. To be sure FHD was saddened to here it was done by Severn and not Keats. A most scarce and interesting archive indeed with plenty to mined here on both F. Holland Day as well as John Keats. unknown
1609WRCAM33906The Hague: Hillebrant Iacobz 1609. 11pp. Large vignette on titlepage. Modern marbled boards. Very good. The original edition of the official Dutch text of the "Twelve Years' Truce" between the United Provinces and Spain. There are thirty- eight articles of which nine deal with foreign trade. The present issue undoubtedly the first contains a few errors which were corrected in later issues. By this treaty the Dutch agreed to stay out of Spanish controlled possessions in the New World. However it conceded the right of the Dutch to trade in the East Indies and on the basis of this and the breathing room the treaty gave them they were able to rout the Spanish in the 1620s. Savelle calls the Twelve Years' Truce "a great international triumph for all the challengers of the Hispano-Portuguese monopoly" on New World colonization since it marked the first explicit recognition of the right of any non- Iberian people to sail to the Americas. Spain tacitly recognized the right of the Dutch to own colonies in the New World a right which the Dutch French and British vigorously pursued in the ensuing decades.

1934WRCAM25237Probably San Francisco 1934. Oil on canvas 18 x 21 inches. Signed lower right: "John Holland." Very good. Framed. A brutal Depression painting a bum's-eye view of the hog carcasses live swine and the boots and slopbroom of a butcher seen in the alleyway behind a San Francisco butchershop. Painted in luminous sea greens and whites from the perspective of a laid- out drunk this intense examination of life among the lowly possesses an unlikely grandeur. Harder edged than Daumier's great and tragic pictures of the Parisian underbelly more desperate than any of Sloan's ashcan scenes down-and-out artist John Holland's "Butchershop Alley" is an uncensored depiction of what the promised land looked like to a man who was knocked out at the end of its road. <br> <br> According to an artist file at the San Francisco Museum of Art John Holland was born in Kilkenny Ireland in 1882. The date of his arrival in San Francisco is unknown. An informational form found in the file listed his full time occupation as perhaps sardonically "gallery attendant." His WPA work includes watercolor paintings for Bay region schools and Letterman Hospital the United States Army's first permanent general hospital founded in 1899 and completed in 1935. He died in Golden Gate Park circa 1935. The police identified Holland's body from a receipt found in his pocket for two paintings lent to a San Francisco Museum of Art exhibition. <br> <br> Provenance: Private Collection New Haven Ct.
