181942798Eastern India possibly Bengal or Assam circa 18th-19th century. Copper plate 13 7/8 x 9 1/8 inches engraved on both sides. The principal face with several lines of incised text at the head followed by a large engraved validating or emblematic mark and below this three dense sections of text divided by ruled horizontal lines. The reverse largely uninscribed with three small engraved seals or validating marks near the edge. An inscribed copper plate of Indian origin possibly Bengal or Assam engraved in a Bengali or Bengali-Assamese script and preserving a formal documentary text in metal.<br/> <br/> This copper plate belongs to the South Asian tradition of preserving legal devotional and administrative records on durable metal supports. Copper plate documents often described as tamrapatra or copper charters were used for grants endowments title rights decrees and other formal acts their material permanence giving them authority beyond that of ordinary manuscript documents. The present example appears to preserve a substantial text arranged in ruled sections and accompanied by validating marks. The script appears close to Bengali or Bengali-Assamese. The letterforms show rounded and looped shapes consistent with scripts used in eastern India. If confirmed this would suggest an origin in Bengal Assam or a neighbouring region where related scripts were used for administrative and religious writing. From their earliest centuries of development copper plate inscriptions have occupied a central place in South Asian documentary culture particularly in the recording of land grants royal edicts temple endowments and other formal transactions. Their durability made them suitable for preserving records intended to endure and they were often deposited in temples or held by families or institutions as proof of rights and privileges. While earlier examples are frequently associated with royal chancelleries the practice continued into the early modern and colonial periods with regional administrations and local authorities maintaining related forms of documentation. The present plate appears to belong to this later phase of the tradition when such documents were still being produced for administrative legal or commemorative purposes. Its relatively large format and the density of inscription suggest a formal text of some substance while the additional engraved devices indicate an effort to authenticate or formalise the record. The copper plate offers a direct example of a documentary practice that bridges manuscript culture and more durable forms preserving both the text itself and the physical conventions of its transmission. unknown
181942797Western or Northern India circa 18th or 19th century. Copper plate 15 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches engraved on both sides one face densely filled with horizontal lines of incised text and with additional marks including a dagger or torch device and other validating or ownership marks. The reverse more sparsely inscribed with two lines of text. An inscribed copper plate of Indian origin engraved on both sides and belonging to the South Asian tradition of preserving legal devotional and commemorative texts.<br/> <br/> A striking survival from the documentary culture of South Asia where copper served as a durable support for records intended to outlast paper and palm leaf. Such copper records often described as tamrapatra or copper charters were valued because they were portable difficult to alter and capable of serving as enduring witnesses to grants decrees endowments title rights and other formal acts. The script appears to belong to the Nagari family possibly Devanagari or a related cursive administrative hand such as Modi the script long used for Marathi official and business writing.

1924426129Missouri Illinois Maine New Jersey Colorado Washington DC Kansas New York 1924. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 209 letters from 1914 through 1924 from a young man sailor writing home to his wife with some later correspondence. Near fine with small tears and some age toning most on the envelopes.<br /> <br /> The majority of the letters are written from Garnett Blair Martin to his wife India Faye Martin née Gentry with some written from India to Garnett while he was serving in the Navy during World War I. He was stationed in several different base camps and moved around frequently as the letters are from various places in the United States including Missouri Illinois Maine New Jersey Colorado Washington DC Kansas New York among others. <br /> <br /> A large portion of the letters are holiday and birthday cards along with a few postcards sent to Martin’s daughter explaining he will be home soon. However most of the letters are written affectionately to Martin’s wife and with her letters replying in kind. Some of the letters discuss Martin’s experience at the army bases from packing and moving constantly to having physical ailments such as poor eyesight sores and cuts. He also critiques the living situations while at war “it’s cold and cramped here I can’t even smoke a cigarette without blowing it in someone’s face.†Most of the letters somehow find a way back to lovelorn acclamations to his wife about how “a sweet kiss from your dear lips could cure it soon.†Accompanied by a few letters and postcards from friends.<br /> <br /> A collection of romantic correspondence from a wife and husband separated during the World War. unknown
