100889The sketches range between 100-140 mm high and 70-90 mm wide two are smaller; they are mounted in five roughly straight lines with their names and regional addresses or rural industry employers added in ballpoint pen to the mount. It is behind glass in its original and appropriately rustic white-painted wooden frame external dimensions 770 × 970 mm visible image size 595 × 800 mm. There is a Royal Easter Show Art Prize Exhibitions label on the verso identifying the artist as Frank F. Forster 10 Walker Ave Narrabeen. The asking price on the label was $100 indicating it was exhibited on this occasion after the introduction of decimal currency February 1966 but it looks earlier perhaps 1940s-50s: just count the hats!. Whether this was the artist's intention or whether it is indeed a product of an earlier time we cannot say but it certainly hits the spot. These are not just caricatures they are clearly characters presumably mates of Bushwaka himself: Cunningham Henderson of Casino; O.O.H. Dangar of Narrandera; C.J. Chisholm of Khancoban; A.H. Jeffreys and D.H. McKay of Delegate; Bert Parkes of Collarenabri; Mick Raleigh and Jack Watts of Wagga; E.H. Turner of Gunning . and on it goes. Cunningham Henderson died at the age of 89 in December 1954; although he is depicted as an elderly gentleman in this group portrait there is no sense of 'In Memoriam' about it. The last word on the subject goes to Year Book Australia 2000 page 447: 'Prosperity in the wool industry peaked in 1950-51 when the average greasy wool price reached 144.19 pence per pound'. unknown
206<p>An Autograph Letter Signed ALS by King Charles III then Prince Charles H.R.H. The Prince of Wales expressing thanks for a birthday gift received from Dudley Poplak 1930-2005 his good friend and interior designer.</p><p>2pp. on 1 folded sheet of Highgrove House headed notepaper with blue royal cypher dated November 17th 1990 a single fold to the paper; near fine accompanied with the original white envelope with blue royal cypher addressed in hand by the King and postmarked Buckingham Palace 19 Nov 1990; very good.</p><p>Personal letters by King Charles III to individuals in his inner circle are very rare to encounter.</p><p>The letter reads as follows:</p><p><em>"Dear Dudley</em></p><p><em>You really <u>are</u> an incredibly kind & thoughtful person to remember my birthday <u>and</u> to send such a splendid present! Thank you <u>so</u> much for that magnificent & highly original inkwell I don't know how you manage to find these things with feathers on Is there anything which <u>hasn't</u> got feathers on!</em></p><p><em>I was so touched that you managed to ensure your present reached me on my birthday in Tokyo. I felt very spoilt!</em></p><p><em>All best wishes as always</em></p><p><em><u>Charles"</u></em></p><p>The King was in Tokyo on his birthday in 1990 as the then Prince and Princess of Wales were attending the enthronement of Emperor Akihito. Emperor Akihito recently abdicated in 2019 due to his declining health and was replaced by his son formerly Crown Prince Naruhito.</p><p>Dudley Poplak was born in South Africa in 1930 and received British citizenship shortly after moving to Britain in 1959. Poplak was a highly successful interior designer receiving commissions from the British royal family and British nobility. He initially came into contact with the royal family via Frances Shand-Kydd 1936-2004 the Mother of Diana Princess of Wales. He was introduced to Frances Shand-Kydd by Elizabeth Clare Hanley 1915-2002 a lampshade designer who received a royal warrant in 1977 as the official lampshade supplier for the royal family.</p><p>Poplak updated the rooms Diana Princess of Wales was using when she first moved to Kensington Palace in 1981. He also refurbished Highgrove House for the Prince of Wales and his soon to be wife Lady Diana Spencer which he regarded as "the most important assignment I have ever had." Poplak's 2005 obituary in The Times characterised him as "a shy and private man" who was deeply valued and trusted by his clients for his "courtier-like discretion and marked reticence with the press." When The Times wrote a story that he was refurbishing Highgrove House for the Prince and Princess of Wales he stated:</p><p>"I certainly won't tell you what the colour schemes are. That would be like disclosing the design of Lady Diana's wedding dress."</p><p>After the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales Poplak carried out further interior design projects at the royal residences and also on the royal train. Poplak was a good friend of both the Prince and Princess of Wales and remained so even after the couple's divorce. Although Poplak retired in the 1990's he continued to carry out interior design work for Prince Charles up until he died in 2005.</p><p>The Times.

Light foxing Good plus. <br /> <br /> Wales Professor of Divinity at Yale discourses learnedly on the state of the nation and the difficulties which the Constitutional Convention would attempt to solve two years later in Philadelphia. <br /> "We have been often delivered in a most signal manner both from the secret stratagems and the open assaults of our enemies." Echoing an emerging theme he asserts that God has singularly blessed this country. But we have not sufficiently discharged our "obligations to those who have voluntarily taken an hazardous or an expensive part in effecting our late happy revolution." At very least the bondholders should be paid and not in depreciated currency which is destroying the country. Moreover we should become self-sufficient and not hanker "after British gew-gaws and foreign luxuries." <br /> He views with alarm the tendency toward factions and rivalries among the States. <br /> Evans 19359.

1901129531Sydney: Angus and Robertson 1901. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. Sydney Angus and Robertson 1901. Quarto x 64 pages with an illustration plus 8 plates but lacking the colour frontispiece called for by Dornbusch. Modern binder's cloth with the front panel of the original green wrapper printed in red mounted on the front board; text block tide-marked near the head of the spine with the plates a little stained; some discolouration and foxing heavy in places; minor signs of age and use; a decent copy of an absolute rarity. This history of these two cavalry units from their foundation through to the end of the Boer War is 'undoubtedly a regimental record but it is something more - it is an attempt to explain and to some extent combat the unreasoning prejudice which has grown up as a result of the South African campaign against the cavalry arm of the service. On this point Mr. Wilkinson says:- "It is my purpose to show not only that cavalry regiments like the New South Wales Lancers have done equal yeoman service to the Empire in the South African struggle with their comrades in the other branches of the service but that they have done infinitely more as the pioneers of the cavalry movement in Australia to enhance the value of our defence force and to shew the world of what fighting stuff our men are made"' from a review in the 'Daily Telegraph' 12 October 1901. The last 18 pages contain numerous appendices including nominal and casualty rolls. <p>Dornbusch 126; Fielding and O'Neill page 126. Angus and Robertson hardcover

D. Dover for the 'cost of Luncheon'. The accounts cover everything from methylated spirits to waste paper baskets and a note indicates the care with which the accounts were kept: 'N.B.

First and only edition of an immediate reprint with additions of a local newspaper account detailing the ceremony and celebrations for the dedication of a memorial to "the non-commissioned officers and men. who fell in action during the Zulu Campaign of 1879". Ten men from the regiment won Victoria Crosses for the campaign and six of them attended the ceremony. No institutional copies have been traced. The 24th Regiment gained legendary status for their actions following one of the greatest military disasters in British history when the unfortified camp at Isandlwana was overwhelmed by a massive Zulu force. Five of the men present in 1898 had won their VCs for their bravery in the desperate defence of Rorke's Drift events depicted in the 1964 film Zulu although not entirely accurately. These men were Frederick Hitch Henry Hook Robert and William Jones and John Williams. Edward Stephenson Browne received his VC for the later Battle of Hlobane. In 1907 after a sustained campaign lieutenants Melvill and Coghill were the first to receive posthumous VCs for their attempts to save the regiment's colours at Isandlwana. Another VC winner from the 24th David Bell also attended. He had earned his medal in 1867 in the Andaman Islands for rescuing several comrades from dangerous surf when their boat capsized during a storm. Octavo pp. 34.

The Thain family is featured in the book "From Amroth to Utah" by Roscoe Howells. Flake 1783. From the Preface to the Twenty-Second Edition-<br /> <br /> "No book published by or for the Latter-day Saints has run through so many editions or been sold so extensively as the Hymn Book of which this is the twenty-second edition. The demand for it continues unabated and since the publication of the Latter-day Saints' Psalmody which contains music for every hymn in this book a new interest has been added to it and its usefulness enhanced. In this edition will be found a metrical index which the book formerly did not contain. This feature will be especially valuable to choirs. A few hymns have also been added to the end of the volume. That these additions may prove acceptable to the public and that the book may continue its cheering and consoling mission indefinitely is the desire of The Publishers. Salt Lake City Utah. June 1897.
