1802AQ19691London: s.n. 1802. 4pp; three pages of text with integral address panel. Some marking loss to folds and torn to seal opening. 'Did you ever consider the business of the K's Civil List in a legal point of view I mean to what revenues he is entitled by Law at his Access and by what Law. Blackstone is not at all explicit on the subject' A detailed inquiry by leading Whig politician Charles James Fox 1749-1806 on February 23rd 1802 on a distinct matter of law relating to the royal revenue and referencing Blackstone to the future Attorney General Sir Arthur Leary Piggott 1749-1819. Both Piggott and Fox were later to serve together in the Ministry of all the Talents but this autograph letter reveals the exploratory discussions amongst leading Whigs in the opening stages of greater Parliamentary scrutiny of the Civil List. Precipitated by rapid growth in the Civil List debt which had reached almost £900000 by January 1802 the situation provided an opening for Whiggish political positioning; on March 29th of the same year Fox railed against the situation in the House in a manner very much presaged in this letter arguing that the moment 'that Parliament exonerated the Crown from the expenses of levying fleets and armies.the hereditary revenues became the property of the public'. A significant manuscript displaying not only the political nous of the wily Fox - always scanning the horizon for an opportunity to return from the political wilderness that his opposition to the French war had forced - but also the growing constitutional significance of the problems of Civil List expenditure. . Quarto. [s.n.] unknown
190079398Chaumot Nièvre Chaumot 1900. Fine. Chaumot Nièvre Chaumot 4 juin 1900 13.80 x 21.30 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Jules Renard addressed to Gabrielle Réval. One and a half pages written in black ink on letterhead paper from ""Gloriette"" the writer's residence in Nièvre. Transverse fold lines inherent to mailing. Fine letter to this fellow writer alluding to Poil de Carotte: ""Je suis au moins aussi content que vous. Certes je n'avais pas oublié le manuscrit où Poil de Carotte était si bien compris - et aimé - j'avais oublié la signature."" ""I am at least as pleased as you are. Certainly I had not forgotten the manuscript where Poil de Carotte was so well understood - and loved - I had forgotten the signature."" He mentions Gabrielle Réval's book: ""Et tant mieux ; car j'ai lu les Sèvriennes et non le livre d'une amie de Poil de Carotte. L'auteur seul a plu le lecteur seul a été touché. Il y a de belles réussites vous le voyez madame."" ""So much the better; for I read the Sèvriennes and not the book of a friend of Poil de Carotte. The author alone pleased the reader alone was moved. There are beautiful successes you see madam."" Jules Renard already enjoyed considerable success at this time: ""Il me répugnerait de jour au vieux maître sachez pourtant que j'ai déjà reçu bien des livres écrit bien des lettres en quelle proportion par politesse je ne sais plus mais aucune ne fut plus spontanée que celle dont vous me remerciez aimablement."" ""It would repel me to play the old master know however that I have already received many books written many letters in what proportion out of politeness I no longer know but none was more spontaneous than the one for which you thank me kindly."" The highly laudatory letter alluded to here is preserved at the Jean Jaurès Media Library in Nevers and was written by Renard a few days before ours: ""Ce n'est pas l'auteur des Sévriennes que je remercie c'est vous. C'est grâce à vous que j'ai lu par cette froide fin de mai entre la première rose de mon jardin et les dernières flammes de ma cheminée un beau Livre."" ""It is not the author of the Sévriennes that I thank it is you. It is thanks to you that I read during this cold end of May between the first rose of my garden and the last flames of my fireplace a beautiful Book."" Gabrielle Réval was one of the co-founders of the Prix de la Vie heureuse which would later become the Prix Femina. unknown

By Her Majesty's Command" a black postage frank dated 27.5.56 28.5 x 39.5 cm. Francis Sutherland was born in 1828 he was the third son of John Campbell Sutherland of Forse County Caithness and Margaret Munro. He was educated at Eton and purchased a Cornetcy in the 2nd Dragoons on 25 September 1847 and was promoted Lieutenant on 11 April 1851. He advanced to Captain in November 1854 without purchase probably as a result of his part in the action at Balaclava. During the charge he served as one of four Troop leaders in the Scots Greys and was memorably called upon to "dress the ranks" as Russian cavalry swept down on the Brigade; this entailed turning his back on the enemy and facing the men in his Troop and not moved until the second in command considered the regiment ready and brought them around.

George Henry Fox 1846-1937 was professor of dermatology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons New York and consulting dermatologist to the Board of Health in the same city. As was customary in his day he traveled as a young man to Europe for further training and studied with Virchow in Berlin Bazin Hardy and Vidal in Paris Tilbury Fox and Jonathan Hutchinson in London and notably with Hebra in Vienna. He has made many contributions particularly to symptomology is one of the founders of the American Dermatological Association. This important atlas of skin diseases is his major work. His first atlas "Photographic illustration of skin diseases" 18791880 has 48 plates. According to Dann this was the first dermatological work to make use of a duplicating technique known as heliography or photo-engraving which was invented in 1878. He is known eponymously for "Fox-Fordyce diseases" describing a papular itchy eruption confined to the axillae nipples and pubes and considered to be a disfunction of the apocrine gland.

1899005358Oxford England 1899-1904. Half Leather. Very Good. Madcap "salad days" from back when! 4to. 30 by 25.5 cm. Unpaginated 20 pages with caricatures mounted onto card rectos. Additional blank card and a number of drawings that are loose some of which were probably always so. In total 91 separate pieces of overwhelmingly caricature of varying size and ranging from simple portraits exaggerated in one way or another as called for by the medium to multi-character cartoons or depictions of a scene with dialogue bubbles and captions. The caricatures center around but are not confined to the doings and personalities of Merton College Oxford. A few of the portraits would appear to be of Theodore Roosevelt for example. Many but far from all of the mounted caricature illustrations are signed or credited although we think it is quite likely that pseudonyms were used as was obviously the case with "the Freak". The album is quite unusual then in its creation with multiple contributors something common in a friendship or amicorum album which this decidedly is not. We would surmise that the contributors were members of an informal club of artistic anarchists. The quality is not entirely even as might be expected from such an effort but overall the caricatures are vivid and amusing with quite a few displaying true artistic cleverness. Rebacked in matching calf. Wear to the corners and edges. Some scrappiness to interior. Paste marks where there once were a few mounted pieces. <br/><br/> hardcover books

1860382AG1860. England c. 1860. Original autograph. Beautifully framed. The frames with the photographs inside measure: 50cm x 40 cm The frame with the vintage autograph is slightly smaller: 47 cm x 42 cm. Excellent condition. The only existing autograph of Fox Talbot on the international market at the time of cataloging. Very rare ! William Henry Fox Talbot 11 February 1800 17 September 1877 was a British scientist inventor and photography pioneer who invented the salted paper and calotype processes precursors to photographic processes of the later 19th and 20th centuries. His work in the 1840s on photomechanical reproduction led to the creation of the photoglyphic engraving process the precursor to photogravure. He was the holder of a controversial patent which impacted the early development of commercial photography in Britain. He was also a noted photographer who contributed to the development of photography as an artistic medium. He published The Pencil of Nature 184446 which was illustrated with original salted paper prints from his calotype negatives and made some important early photographs of Oxford Paris Reading and York.
