186723027AB1867. Washington Government Printing Office 1867. 8°. 38 pages. Softcover. Original brochure. Some light foxing only. "In 1866 he was sent on a special mission to Russia and conveyed the congratulations of the President of the United States to Tzar Alexander II upon his escape from assassination. His voyage was made in the monitor Miantonomoh which was the first vessel of this class to cross the Atlantic. They were accompanied by Augusta." Gustavus Vasa Fox June 13 1821October 29 1883 was an officer of the United States Navy who served during the Mexican-American War and as Assistant Secretary of the Navy during the Civil War. Born at Saugus Massachusetts and a student at Phillips Academy Andover Massachusetts 1835 Fox was appointed midshipman 12 January 1838. During the Mexican-American War he served in the brig Washington in the squadron of Commodore Matthew Perry and took active part in the second expedition against Tabasco Mexico 14-16 January 1847 which resulted in the capture of that town. He was in command of several mail steamers and after his resignation 30 July 1856 engaged in the manufacture of woolen materials. At the start of the American Civil War he volunteered for service. He was given a temporary appointment in the Navy and was sent in the steamer Baltic to the relief of Major Robert Anderson and the remnant of his command in Fort Sumter and brought them away. Gustavus V. Fox On 1 August 1861 President Abraham Lincoln appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy under Secretary Gideon Welles an office which he held until the close of the Civil War. In 1866 he was sent on a special mission to Russia and conveyed the congratulations of the President of the United States to Tzar Alexander II upon his escape from assassination. His voyage was made in the monitor Miantonomoh which was the first vessel of this class to cross the Atlantic. They were accompanied by Augusta. In 1882 he published a paper suggesting Samana Cay in the Bahamas to be Guanahani or San Salvador the first island Christopher Columbus reached at his discovery of the Americas. Little attention was paid to it until 1986 when the National Geographic Society also appointed Samana Cay to be San Salvador. He died at Lowell Massachusetts aged 62. Wikipedia paperback

Talbot's paper: pp. 623-627. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the paper in which Talbot describes how he worked out the method of instant photography. He patented it in 1852 and 1858. "The beginning of high speed photography might be considered to be William Henry Fox Talbot's experiment in 1851. He attached a page of the London Times newspaper to a wheel which was rotated in front of his wet plate camera in a darkened room. As the wheel rotated Talbot exposed a few square inches of the newspaper page for about 1/2000th of a second using spark illumination from Leyden jars. This experiment resulted in a readable image." </em> unknown

18605219Liége: NP 1860. First edition - an original sketch / caricature believed to be signed and drawn by Renard / Draner. Entitled "Croquades Liégeoises No 13" to the top of the sketch this is drawn and signed in pencil with the title and text below in black ink. It is a good clean image with a touch of foxing / marking only. Now framed under an olive green passe partout and plastic protective cover. This has been professionally framed and so is sealed to the edges. As a result we haven't been able to examine the page outside of the mount. Sketch is 27cm x 19.5cm. Mount is 34.5cm x 27cm. The image shows a man in military uniform wearing a bicorne hat with the word "conseil" on it. He is looking sceptically over his shoulder where an image shows "interieur" and a purse over the words "Seance ou Zjaoul" To the bottom is the line "Effet de la formation du Nouveau cabinet sur le Conseil communal ou notre ville." This is probably referring to the 1857 Belgian general election which was held on 10 December 1857 and was the first full general election since 1848. It was called by royal order dissolving the Chamber of Representatives. Before the election Liberals held a majority in the Senate and Catholics held a majority in the Chamber of Representatives. The election resulted in a victory for the Liberal Party which won 70 out of 108 seats in the Chamber of Representatives gaining a majority in both chambers of parliament. Charles Rogier became both the premier and the Interior minister perhaps referenced with the word "Interieur" to the top. Jules Renard 1833-1926 known by the pseudonym Draner was a Belgian painter illustrator and caricaturist. Born in Liege he moved to Paris in 1861. He became known for his military caricatures and his work as a costume designer for theatre and opera houses in Paris. He died in Paris in 1926 at the age of 92. Première édition - une esquisse / caricature originale que l'on croit signée et dessinée par Renard / Draner. Intitulée "Croquades Liégeoises No 13" en haut de l'esquisse celle-ci est dessinée et signée au crayon avec le titre et le texte en dessous à l'encre noire. Il s'agit d'une bonne image propre avec seulement quelques rousseurs / marques. L'œuvre est maintenant encadrée sous un passe partout vert olive et une housse de protection en plastique. Elle a été encadrée par un professionnel et est donc scellée sur les bords. Par conséquent nous n'avons pas été en mesure d'examiner la page en dehors de l'encadrement. L'image représente un homme en uniforme militaire coiffé d'un chapeau bicorne portant le mot "conseil". Il regarde sceptiquement par-dessus son épaule où une image montre "interieur" et une bourse au-dessus des mots "Seance ou Zjaoul" Au bas de la page se trouve la ligne "Effet de la formation du Nouveau cabinet sur le Conseil communal ou notre ville". Il s'agit probablement d'une référence aux élections générales belges de 1857 qui se sont tenues le 10 décembre 1857 et qui ont été les premières élections générales complètes depuis 1848. Elles ont été convoquées par un arrêté royal dissolvant la Chambre des représentants. Avant les élections les libéraux détenaient la majorité au Sénat et les catholiques la majorité à la Chambre des représentants. Les élections se sont soldées par une victoire du parti libéral qui a remporté 70 des 108 sièges de la Chambre des représentants obtenant ainsi la majorité dans les deux chambres du parlement. Charles Rogier devient à la fois premier ministre et ministre de l'Intérieur peut-être référencé avec le mot "Interieur" en tête. Jules Renard 1833-1926 connu sous le pseudonyme de Draner était un peintre illustrateur et caricaturiste belge. Né à Liège il s'installe à Paris en 1861. Il s'est fait connaître par ses caricatures militaires et son travail de costumier pour le théâtre et l'opéra de Paris. Il est mort à Paris en 1926 à l'âge de 92 ans. NP unknown
