189624024Sydney: George Murray 1896. Very good condition. Lovely full page chromolithographic illustration of Australian pioneers on horse back exploring a tangled wooded mountain landscape which resembles the southern Alps. <br /> <br /> The illustration was printed to accompany verse written by A. B. Paterson "The Banjo" and describes the challenges the pioneers were confronted with: "When hardy bushmen started out and forced their way ahead By tangled scrub and forests grim towards the unknown west And spied the far-off promised land from off the ranges' crest."<br /> Oh! ye that sleep in lonely graves by far-off ridge and plain We drink to you in silence now as Christmas comes again The men who fought the wilderness through rough unsettled years-- The founders of our nation's life the brave old pioneers." It appears that this was the first publication of the poem.<br /> <br /> Signed at the lower right "F. Cecil Boult". Francis Cecil Boult was a British artist noted for his paintings of a wide range of sports and particularly of horses who did a magnificent representation of horses in the Australian bush. He does not appear to have visited Australia so must have been working from photographs. <br /> <br /> Below the signature in the bottom margin is "Printed in New South Wales by George Murray & Co.

1912167301912. Photograph album of Scotland and Wales circa 1912 documents rural village life agricultural labor and landscape in the Galloway region and coastal Wales through the perspective of a young female amateur photographer. The album records pastoral environments local inhabitants and regional landmarks alongside personal inscriptions and social exchanges capturing both observational and intimate aspects of early twentieth-century life in Britain. The material provides visual evidence of daily labor practices rural settings and informal portraiture within a period of gradual modernization in these regions.<br /> <br /> Photograph album. Scotland and Wales circa 1912. Small format album 6 x 5 inches containing 27 gelatin silver print photographs approximately 3.5 x 2.5 inches each mounted across 58 pages accompanied by four handwritten inscriptions from friends and an ownership inscription reading "To Maggie with Love & Best wishes for a Merry Xmas." The photographs depict identifiable locations in Galloway including Threave Castle Loch Ken Loch Dee Bridge of Dee Dundrennan Abbey and Carlingwark Loch as well as a coastal view identified as Llandudno. Scenes include agricultural labor such as "Sheep Washing" showing workers managing livestock at a riverside and "Salmon Netting" depicting eight laborers resting while working a fast-moving river. Additional images capture moor landscapes harbors and shipyard activity. Human subjects include an older man identified as "The Laird o' Meikleyetto" seated outdoors with a pipe and dog along with group portraits such as "Studies in Expressions" showing eight children and a dog posed together with varied expressions. Many photographs are captioned in ink with titles such as "A Galloway Moor" "Raider's Brig." and "Raider's Land." The album also includes portraits of family members and reflects experimentation in photographic printing with variation in tonal quality and technique across images.<br /> <br /> The album documents a period in which rural regions of Scotland retained agricultural and village-based labor structures while increasingly being recorded through amateur photography. The inclusion of inscriptions featuring poetic reflections on friendship and life-such as "All life is a school a preparation a purpose."-indicates the album's dual function as both visual record and social keepsake. The combination of landscape labor and portraiture situates the compiler within a network of observation and personal memory-making during the early twentieth century. Textured paper boards with green faux leather covering and inset portrait on front; wear to extremities; final ten leaves detached; photographs generally well-preserved with strong clarity; overall good to very good condition. A cohesive album documenting rural British life and early amateur photographic practice. unknown

His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much-anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".

Wing P4018. <br><br> Like many Puritans abhorring decadent celebrations Prynne was strongly opposed to religious feast days including Christmas and revelry such as stage plays He included in his Histriomastix 1632 a denunciation of actresses which was widely felt to be an attack of Queen Henrietta Maria. This book led to the most famous incidents in his life but the timing was accidental. <br> About 1624 Prynne had begun a book against stage-plays; on 31 May 1630 he obtained a license to print it and about November 1632 it was published. Histriomastix is a volume of over a thousand pages showing that plays were unlawful incentives to immorality and condemned by the scriptures Church Fathers modern Christian writers and pagan philosophers. By chance the queen and her ladies in January 1633 took part in the performance of Walter Montagu's The Shepherd's Paradise: this was an innovation at court. A passage reflecting on the character of female actors in general was construed as an aspersion on the queen; passages which attacked the spectators of plays and magistrates who failed to suppress them pointed by references to Nero and other tyrants were taken as attacks on the king Charles I. <br>William Noy as attorney-general instituted proceedings against Prynne in the Star-chamber. After a year's imprisonment in the Tower of London he was sentenced 17 February 1634 to be imprisoned during life to be fined to be expelled from Lincoln's Inn to be deprived of his degree by the university of Oxford and to lose both his ears in the pillory. Prynne was pilloried on 7 May and 10 May. On 11 June he addressed to Archbishop Laud whom he regarded as his chief persecutor a letter charging him with illegality and injustice. Laud handed the letter to the attorney-general as material for a new prosecution but when Prynne was required to own his handwriting he contrived to get hold of the letter and tore it to pieces. In the Tower Prynne wrote and published anonymous tracts against episcopacy and against the Book of Sports. In one he introduced Noy's recent death as a warning. Elsewhere he attacked prelates in general 1635. An anonymous attack on Matthew Wren bishop of Norwich brought him again before the Star-chamber. <br> On 14 June 1637 Prynne was sentenced once more to a fine to imprisonment for life and to lose the rest of his ears. At the proposal of Chief-justice John Finch he was also to be branded on the cheeks with the letters S. L. signifying 'seditious libeller'. Prynne was pilloried on 30 June in company with Henry Burton and John Bastwick and Prynne was handled barbarously by the executioner. He made as he returned to his prison a couple of Latin verses explaining the 'S. L.' with which he was branded to mean 'stigmata laudis' sign of praise. He was released by the Long Parliament in 1640. The House of Commons declared the two sentences against him illegal restored him to his degree and to his membership of Lincoln's Inn and voted him pecuniary reparation as late as October 1648 he was still trying to collect it. He supported the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War particularly in the press and in many pamphlets while still pursuing the bishops. Printed at London : For M.S hardcover
21160HMSO London. The Major Graham document dated from the General Register Office Somerset House London 7 December 1848. The Grey circular dated from Downing Street 20 January 1849. Two printed documents: the first carrying Major Graham's 'Memorandum' of 'suggestions respecting the mode of taking a Census in each of our Colonial Posssessions' together with his observations on the making up of 'Statistical Abstracts' a specimen 'Form of Return' and a covering letter; the second a circular letter from Earl Grey instructing colonial governors 'to cause a Return of the Population of the Colony under your Government to be prepared'. For the background to these two documents see A. J. Christopher 'The quest for a census of the British Empire c.1840-1940' Journal of Historical Geography April 2008. No other copies of the present documents which were privately printed by Her Majesty's Stationery Office for Grey as Secretary of State for War and the Colonies have been discovered. This printing was intended for direct distribution to civil servants and MPs and certainly pre-dates the first publication of the items in for example the journals of the legislative councils of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick both in 1849. Disbound from a collection of parliamentary papers assembled by Sir Frederick Peel 1823-1906 Liberal MP for Leominster who was Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies 1851-1854; and Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies 1854-1855. No printed pagination but the volume as a whole was paginated in Peel's hand. Both items are in good condition. ONE: The 'Copy of Major Graham's Letter together with a Copy of the Memorandum to which it refers' referred to by Grey in Item Two below. 4pp foolscap 8vo. Paginated by Peel 163-166. Bifolium on grey paper. The first page carries a transcript including a facsimile signature of a letter from George Graham to 'B. Hawes Esq. M.P.' 1797-1862 later Sir Benjamin Hawes of the Colonial Office. Graham suggests 'that it may perhaps be expedient that steps should be taken to secure a Census being made in each of our Colonies in 1851 on or about the same day that Parliament may fix for its being taken in this Country' and begins his letter with reference to 'some suggestions respecting the mode of taking a Census in each of our Colonial Possessions' which six year before Graham 'transmitted for the use of the Secretary of State for the Colonies some suggestions respecting the mode of taking a Census in each of our Colonial Possessions as requested by Lord Stanley'. Graham is now 'about to publish the Population of England and Wales' and has 'also been furnished with the latest returns of the Population in several Countries in Europe'. It occurs to Graham 'that it might be desirable also to publish the Population of our Colonial Possessions' and he asks Hawes to 'have the goodness to call the attention of Earl Grey to this subject' and to request 'that I may be furnished with Abstracts of the Population of such of our Colonies as may have made returns upon the subject to the Colonial Office'. The letter contains two references to Graham's brother and the man who appointed him to his post 'Secretary Sir James Graham'. The second page headed 'Memorandum' of what he describes in the letter to Hawes as 'some suggestions respecting the mode of taking a Census in each of our Colonial Possessions'. The third page headed 'Statistical Abstracts' again carries a facsimile of Graham's signature to a document dated 5 August 1842 addressed from the General Register Office Somerset House. The communication begins: 'The enumerators should not be called upon to make the Abstract but should transmit the Schedules in books of a convenient form to the seat of Government; where the Abstracts should be made on an uniform plan under proper supervision.' Three examples are given of 'the great variety of ways' by which 'the facts might be combined'. The final page is headed 'Form of Return' and gives the fictitious example of the return for the family of 'John Bromley' 'English 'Farmer' who entered the colony 'COLONY. District – County Town or Parish Ward' in June 1827. TWO: Transcript of 'Circular' letter from Earl Grey to the governors of colonies directing that colonial censuses should be prepared. Peel has written the word 'Census' at the head of the page. Downing Street 20 January 1849. 1p foolscap 8vo. Paginated by Peel 161. Signed by Grey: '/sd/ Grey' why Grey would himself write '/sd/' is not clear. Printed in type imitating copperplate handwriting. The letter begins: 'A Census of the Population of England and Wales will be taken in the year 1851 and the Registrar General has suggested to me that it would be desirable to publish a similar Return for all Her Majesty's Colonial Possessions.' He is transmitting Item One above in margin: '7th December. Memo. 1842. Form.'. The letter continues: 'I have to instruct you to cause a Return of the Population of the Colony under your Government to be prepared in the manner prescribed in the annexed Form as far as may be practicable without incurring expenditure which cannot be conveniently provided for.' Graham's suggestion 'that it would be desirable that a Census in each of the Colonies should if possible be taken on or about the same day as that on which it may be fixed to be taken in this Country … can of course only be acted upon in the event of the Legislature of blank space here having it in contemplation to direct such a Return to be made'. He suggests that in such cases Graham's 'recommendation' be submitted to the consideration of the legislatures. It seems see Wikipedia that Australia didn't have a NATIONAL census until 1911 though states submitted figures before Canada in 1871 etc. Clause 4 of the Memorandum sates: "It will be desirable where there is a difficulty in obtaining information respecting the Aborigines to confine the enquiry to males aged 20 years and upwards - the 'fighting men . The supposed number of females of all ages and males under the age of 20 may however be stated."

24480An original vintage gelatin silver press photograph 120 × 165 mm with a typed caption mounted on the verso: 'Australians dismissed for 156 runs in their first innings against Essex at Leyton. Fairfax Australia loses his leg stump to Palmer after scoring 12 runs'. The photograph is taken from behind the wicket and includes the wicket-keeper the fieldsman at slips Alan Fairfax the cartwheeling stump and Alan Kippax the batsman at the non-striker's end. Of far greater consequence however is the signature pencilled on the verso of the image: that of Archie Jackson the New South Wales and Australian Test batsman who died of tuberculosis in 1933 at the early age of 23. Jackson and his friend and supporter Fairfax were room-mates on the 1930 tour of England which helps explain why this particular image from this tour bears his ownership signature. unknown
