'As a Member of the Honorary Advisory Committee of the Golden West Exhibition at Earls Court you will be interested to learn that with the concurrence of the American Ambassador it is proposed by the London Exhibition Committee to hold a special Fete at Earls Court on the occasion of the Anniversary of American Independence . A large number of American ladies and gentlemen are expected to be present for whom some special Entertainments will be provided. I am bringing these arrangements to your notice since I think you will agree with me that at the present juncture of affairs it would be a graceful and expedient attention to our American brethren if they were received at the Exhibition by Members of the Honorary Advisory Committee and their friends.' In consequence will send as many tickets as are required. Signed 'Arthur Trendell'. 18 June 1909; on letterhead of 'THE GOLDEN WEST AND AMERICAN INDUSTRIES EXHIBITION. Earl's Court.' unknown
415522 June and 1 October 1935; both on House of Commons embossed letterheads and from 5 Carlton Gardens S.W.1. English politician 1881-1965 and architect much of whose work was done in the United States. Both letters two pages quarto. Both letters docketed the first heavily so bearing the Society's stamp and with pin and staple holes in top left-hand corner. Second letter good first lightly creased and grubby. Revealing documents relating to the Royal Society's 'British Art in Industry' exhibition held at the Royal Academy in 1935. The Society's website describes this as a 'resounding success' but as these letters show the matter was not so clear cut. Bossom is one of a number of the Society's members to have provided financial guarantees for the exhibition and to have been asked to pay £68 15s 0d as a result. LETTER ONE: '. How much did the exhibitors pay towards the abnormal expense in connection with this Exhibition and what profit did they make out of it in the way of sales etc . Of course hind-sight is always better than foresight but looking at the matter now doesn't it seem very obvious that the ones who were to gain by this situation were those who were getting their goods out for sale and certainly they should be the ones who guaranteed the amount of the exhibition and not private members of the Society of Arts to anything like the extent they have been called upon to do. It does seem an example of rather unfortunate management don't you think for we had nothing whatever to gain by the matter and they had everything; and I must admit that when I went round the exhibition I was very much impressed by the great expense that had been undertaken to equip and arrange special lighting etc. . Needless to say I thought such expense was being born sic by the exhibitors otherwise I must frankly say I should have called the attention of the Society to what appeared to me to be a very expensive way of handling the situation.' LETTER TWO: Blossom encloses a cheque but asks that the point he has raised be brought before the Society's council. '. it is an abnormal situation for a learned body to hold and finance an exhibition which in fact in certain respects becomes a show-room for various manufacturers and who on this accound make considerable profit and yet the learned Society - . - bears the expense of providing not only the rooms for exhibition purposes but also the expense of erecting special stands etc. . I was for many years the Chairman of the Foreign Exhibitions Committee of the Architectural League of New York . I find that where the manufacturers have their goods exhibited they have to bear the expense of the setting . where the manufacturers have their names displayed on their goods I cannot see any possible reason why they should not bear the expense involved in the physical arrangements for the exhibition. It obviously is the most valuable advertising and in addition has caused sales to be made and by no process of reasoning can it be diverted into being a strictly artistic exhibition - it did resolve itself into a commercial one. . I was while on the Council of the Royal Society of Arts exceedingly keen on such an . Exhibition . Purely as a matter of interest is there existing any precedent at all for the expense of such a commerical exhibition being borne by a strictly learned body' Both letters signed 'Alfred C Bossom'. 22 June and 1 October 1935; both on House of Commons embossed letterheads, and from 5, Carlton Gardens, S.W.1. unknown

Provenance: António Romão dos Passos 1866-1951 signature in ink Antonio Passos / agronomo or Anto R. Passos scrawled across both titles the first with price note and on six text leaves. <br /> <br /> Only edition of a comprehensive overview of the Portuguese silk industry by the judicial magistrate of the Moncorvo district and author of several works on political economy and history of law. José Antonio de Sá d. 1819 a native of Bragança was an important proponent of modernization of the industry and later served as director of the Royal Silk Factory Real Fábrica das Sedas founded in 1802 in Lisbon. He was one of the earliest members of the Academia Real das Sciencias of Lisbon.<br /> <br /> Silkworms were raised in Portugal as early as the 13th century. Sericulture and silk production were concentrated in the northeastern province of Trás-os-Montes its largest center being the city of Bragança which from the 15th to 17th century was known throughout Europe for its luxurious velvets. Because of the lack of government support for industry frequent wars and above all the persecutions of the Inquisition which decimated an industry in all sectors of which Jews or converted Jews cristãos-novos played a major role Portuguese silk production suffered from intermittent crises and was even periodically decimated. Starting in the 1770s efforts to revive the industry began to have an effect: <br /> <br /> “By the end of the 18th century the Trás-os-Montes silk industry had dragged itself out of the crisis that had begun in 1750-1755 coinciding with the last incursion of the Inquisition into Bragança and embarked upon a period of great development accompanying the industrial expansion that was then taking place not only in that particular region but throughout the Portuguese kingdom. After the Inquisition’s systematic persecution of businessmen weavers and throwers had finally come to an end the continuity and expansion of the silk industry seemed to be a viable prospect. In the last two decades of the 18th century a remarkable process of modernization took place thanks to the efforts of the businessmen involved in this economic activity such as António José Lopes Fernandes who installed 200 silk looms in Bragança magistrates such as José António de Sá and Pereira de Barros and politicians such as Martinho de Melo e Castro and Rodrigo de Sousa Coutinho the latter being the Portuguese ambassador to Piedmont Italy. These efforts included the adoption of Piedmontese methods and techniques namely the organzine mill and the spinning-jenny the most advanced ones at that time in Europe in an operation led by experts coming to Portugal from that Italian region.†Sousa p. 6<br /> <br /> Sá’s work is in three parts. The first part comprises an overview of the history of silk production starting with Antiquity and summaries of the industry and government policies toward it in other countries followed by a detailed recommendation with responses to projected objections that the Portuguese government undertake a campaign to plant mulberry trees and promote the industry generally. Part two is a treatise on the silkworm and part three a technical survey of “the art of silk spinning.†Explained in the text pp. 142-148 is the letter- and number-keyed engraving of a rather fanciful machine showing a vat for softening the cocoons heating on the left from which a thread-unwinding mechanism feeds a loom on the right. <br /> <br /> The reason for the duplicated title-leaf in this copy is not clear. Perhaps one functioned as an upper wrapper — but as both titles are preceded by a half-title that appears unlikely. The book collector Antonio Romão dos Passos b. February 28 1866 was an engineer and agronomist. Other books from his library all on practical subjects are recorded; four are digitized by the Biblioteca Nacional Digital de Portugal. One a treatise on hemp has a similar indelicately scrawled signature across the title. <br /> <br /> OCLC gives six US locations.
