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

198816340928 March 1988. I still find it hard to understand why I survived and he didn't The future King Charles III writes with grief and shock after his close friend Major Hugh Lindsay was killed in an avalanche at Klosters in 1988 where Charles narrowly escaped with his own life. "Dear Mr. Marrington All I can say is that I was deeply touched by your incredibly kind thought in writing to me as you did following that appalling tragedy the other day. I have been utterly overwhelmed by the wonderful encouraging letters I have received and yours was particularly special and comforting. We shall all miss dear old Hugh quite enormously. He was a thoroughly special person and someone who won endless friends wherever he went. I still find it hard to understand why I survived and he didn't but that I suppose is part of the unfathomable mystery of our existence. Thank you more than I can say for such a wonderful letter. Yours most sincerely Charles". Hugh Lindsay was Equerry to Elizabeth II and a close friend of Charles. Charles and Diana regularly vacationed at the Klosters ski resort in Switzerland and in March 1988 were joined by Lindsay and others. An avalanche on the 14 March swept Lindsay off a precipice. Charles was on the same slope but avoided the avalanche. He afterwards was part of the group which dug out Lindsay who was pronounced dead on arrival after being airlifted to a Davos hospital. The event received worldwide media attention with Charles widely reported as being in shock. Much popular writing has placed the event as deepening the divide between Charles and Diana claiming that Diana blamed Charles for the event as he led the group down a challenging slope despite an avalanche warning earlier that day. Diana formed a close friendship with Lindsay's widow Sarah Horsley in the weeks following the disaster. The episode "Avalanche" in the Netflix series The Crown focuses on the disaster. The letter dated two weeks following the event and one week following Lindsay's funeral was written in response to the condolences of Robert Morrington 1900-1992 a long-serving member of the royal staff. Marrington served the Royal Family throughout his long life joining their staff in October 1925 and retiring in 1973 having served four monarchs. From 1939 he was tapissier in charge at Sandringham a position also held by his father. He remained in contact with the Royal Family after his retirement and the Queen sent a wreath to his funeral see notice in Lynn Advertiser 11 December 1992. Marrington collected various mementoes of the Royal Family including letters from Charles relating to the birth of Prince William and his marriage to Diana. These were sold by his family after his death with this letter appearing at auction in 2005 and gathering some press attention including coverage by the Daily Mail "Heartfelt letter from Prince Charles goes under the hammer" 9 June 2005. Typed letter signed 253 x 207 mm on the Prince of Wales's Kensington Palace letterhead. Light creasing from handling almost imperceptible adhesion on verso where formally mounted. A very good example. unknown
19811646017 October 1981. We have quite a difficult task ahead of us In the months following their wedding Charles and Diana write to thank a contributor for his donation to the Duchy of Cornwall's official wedding gift of a mahogany library table. "Dear Mr Skam We would both like to thank you very much indeed for your most kind contribution to the wedding present which the Duchy has given us. We really are delighted with the mahogany library table which will look splendid in our home at Highgrove and is exactly the right period for the house. We were also most touched to receive the balance of the gift in the form of a cheque with which we shall probably buy some more furniture. As you can well imagine with two houses to equip from scratch we have quite a difficult task ahead of us! We have been completely overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity which so many people have shown to us but as you will know we have a very special affection for the Duchy and all those who live and work in it and we therefore particularly appreciate your gift. We look forward very much to visiting the Duchy together in the future. In Charles' hand: Yours most sincerely Charles and Diana's hand: Diana".
