Vivace scena di carattere bellico che si svolge nella marina e sulla costa della baia di St. Jean e che si inquadra nel lungo dissidio tra francesi ed inglesi, durato quasi due secoli, per i diritti di pesca nel mare di Terranova, conservati dalla Francia anche dopo la definitiva attribuzione dell'isola alla Gran Bretagna con il trattato di Utrecht nel 1714. La legenda in calce illustra i movimenti della piccola squadra navale francese accorsa in difesa dei propri battelli da pesca, mentre sulla terraferma, in primo piano, sono raffigurati gli schieramenti delle truppe in assetto di guerra, compresa la batteria di cannoni che spara bordate, a destra.

elala6118Quebec: Hunter Rose & Co. 1865. Thomas Nicholson Gibbs 1821-1883 miller merchant manufacturer banker and politician who became closely aligned with Sir John A.Macdonald after Confederation was Oshawa’s chief businessman and financier. He used his connections with Sir John to obtain a loan from the Bank of Montreal to stave off the impending collapse of the St. Lawrence Bank in 1872 and became Macdonald’s confidant and ‘fixer’ on dealing with Toronto capitalists as well as during the Canadian Pacific Railway negotiations. Gibbs was known to be a corrupt politician winning elections by large-scale vote buying and patronage. In 1873 he briefly served as secretary of state for the provinces and superintendent of Indian affairs before moving to the Department of Inland Revenue but the Pacific Scandal and the defeat of Macdonald’s government on 6 Nov. 1873 ended his cabinet career.

19301441Various locations in Ontario Alberta and the Southern U.S. 1930. Very good. 165 photographs on forty-four leaves. Most images approximately 3 x 4 inches or 2 x 3 inches with a few larger. Oblong octavo. Original brown cloth album with black paper pages string-tied. Light wear to album first leaf detached. Internally clean with some minor wear most images captioned. Interesting photo album made by a young man working in the Canadian forestry service in the 1920s. Images here document time spent along Loch Lomond and Lake Superior in Ontario and later on Mount Shunda in the Canadian Rockies. There is also a section of images covering work in the orange groves of Florida and in the Southern United States. The album is captioned throughout -- extensively so in the segment on Alberta -- providing context and humor to the images.<br/><br/>Our author who is pictured but not identified was employed by the Ontario Forestry Branch in 1928 around Loch Lomond and Lake Superior just south of Thunder Bay. Approximately seventy of the images relate to this region. They show the scenery wildlife and the camps and operations of the forestry service. Most are captioned in some way: "The Cook loading a canoe"; "Cliffs at mouth of Carp River"; "O.F.B. camp Loch Lomond survey." Several later images show the Temagami district of northern Ontario including the Mattagami River and its dam as well as an image captioned "Indian cabin flooded by Mattagami River."<br/><br/>The last several leaves of the album are devoted to the author's work with the Dominion Forest Service in Alberta and British Columbia in 1930. These photos are generally larger 4 x 5 inches and more extensively captioned. The opening image is a panoramic shot of the Big Horn Mountains in Alberta seen forty miles distant. The next shows the small town of Brazeau: "Looking north from Brazeau to Mt. Baldy on left and Mt. Shunda on right. Brazeau is a coal mining town 120 miles west of Red Deer Alberta and lies just inside the first range i.e. Brazeau Mts. Elevation of town 4000 ft. Mt. Shunda 6700 ft." This series of sixty photographs depicts the area around Mt. Shunda including sweeping scenery and towns as well as the forestry camps and activities. One image of three men in a tent from out on the trail is captioned "Over night camp from main camp to reach out-of-the way territory. Frank Mac and Obey. Note it rained over night also note holes in tent." There are mentions of the Canadian Pacific Railway and several images of stations and tracks.<br/><br/>Incongruously placed in the middle of the album is a group of images from 1925 documenting time spent working in the American South. These thirty-five images briefly document the trip to Florida: "Crossing the Roanoke River Virginia"; "On a road in Georgia" depicting a Black man in a goat-drawn cart; "Two tramps outside Philadelphia". There are individual images of the orange grove "Young trees about 5 yrs. out Hiawassee Orange Grove Florida along with shots of the cabin wash day loading fertilizer for the grove and the "View from our shack."<br/><br/>Altogether an interesting album of images documenting one young man's time in the Canadian Forestry Service as well as his earlier adventures working with trees in the American South. unknown books
173814194Amsterdam: Herman Uytwerf 1738. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Two volumes pp. xiv 370 6; 430 6 with six folding plates and a folding map. Modern full-leather with marbled endpapers. Title pages clipped at upper and lower edges; damage with losses to three plates repairs to back of map; all else very good. Le Beau was transported from France to Quebec in 1729 probably on a charge of libertinism. According to his own account he was appointed a clerk in the Beaver Office and then chief clerk in the King's warehouses. Bored and depressed he stole gunpowder from the warehouses and set off for New England. A warrant for his arrest was issued but he escaped encountering many perils natural and human before he reached Boston and eventually sailed for Holland. His ensuing work on his adventures in North America includes much detail on Huron Iroquois and Algonquin customs but its style has been dubbed fanciful. Howes L-167 describes the work as "a basically veracious narrative from competent authorities though somewhat romanticised." The Dictionary of Canadian Biography argues that Le Beau "deserves credit for painting an exact picture of the customs and character of the Canadians" noting that "the best chapters are those that discuss the habits of beaver and the religious ideas of the Indians."
