2401224 October 1845; Quidenham near Kenninghall Norfolk. An interesting item from a medical point of view with a well-informed patient describing and discussing his condition symptoms and treatment options. Three years after the writing of this letter the appropriately-named Boddy who is addressed here as ‘W. Barnard Boddy Esqr / 3. Saville Row. Walworth’ published ‘Diet and Cholera’ London 1848. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. Fifty-five lines of closely-written text. The signature is large and shaky and the use of an amanuensis is understandable in the light of the content of the letter. In fair condition lightly aged with negligible traces of mount along one edge. Folded twice. Albemarle is applying to Boddy on the recommendation of ‘Captain Randall’ regarding ‘the malady which affects my sight’. The ‘communication’ made by Boddy to Randall on the subject is ‘very satisfactory except in one point in as much as there is no mention of successful treatment of Cataract without the usual Operation of Couching’. The ‘medical men’ he has consulted concur that ‘there is a Cataract nearly matured in my right Eye and an incipient one in my left and that the only remedy is the usual operation of Couching in due time’. This takes the letter to the end of the first three pages and Albemarle continues with his description of ‘the present state of my sight’ his symptoms and the options for treatment. He uses glasses ‘when in the open air prepared under the direction of Mr. Travers’. At the end of the second page he remarks: ‘I am in my 74th. Year and could I be sure that the failure of sight would not encrease sic I could cheerfully submit to the state I am in -’ He concludes: ‘Now the Question which I wish to put to you and I hope you will excuse me for doing it so decidedly is first - “Whether Cataract is a cureable malady or to be alleviated - and secondly - whether you can by any means remove or dispel or dissolve the Cataract or stop its probable progress so that the ultimate operation of Couching may not be necessary -’. 24 October 1845; Quidenham, near Kenninghall, Norfolk. unknown

18516Archive of 12 silver gelatin photos pasted to dark grey board and clipped from original photo album of WWI era soldiers and jockeys partaking in horse racing. Measurements are 3" x 4" with the photos themselves measuring 2.5" x 3.25". Horses were vital in military usage during the First World War and played a major role economically as they reached their peak of 21.5 million by 1920. Between the First and Second World Wars the importance of the horse in commerce and agriculture began to decline. Whilst this was going on the sport of horse racing continued to grow in popularity perhaps partly as a result of this general decline. Horse racing was one an international favorite sporting pastime with dozens of courses all over the world. This photo archive shows a particular race in motion with jockeys who seem to be competing with a group of WWI soldiers in officer caps and uniform. Photos have minor wear to edges and corners. Overall in very good condition images are crisp and clear. unknown
2023569<p>Istanbul: Pera Muzesi 2023. New. Paperback. 20x28 cm. In Turkish and English. 128 p. B/w and colour ills. Isabel Muñoz an intrepid explorer and observer of nature aesthetics and diverse cultures embarked on a photographic journey through Göbeklitepe Karahantepe and Sayburç – some of Türkiye's most significant archeological sites. In this awe-inspiring region that has left an indelible impression on her Isabel Muñoz delves into profound inquiries about mystery origin and eternity. The photographs exhibited in <em>A New Story </em>curated by François Cheval transcend mere documentation capturing ethereal and mesmerizing imagery of astonishing ruins and monumental megaliths that exist in a realm between mystery and artistry; they humbly pay homage to these majestic scenes. The publication accompanying the exhibition includes introductions by the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation and Javier Hergueta the Ambassador of Spain in Türkiye along with a comprehensive text by curator François Cheval an essay by Yekhan Pınarlıgil on the relationship between photography and light as well as the role of memory in how the artist approaches archeological sites and an interview with the artist conducted by Merve Akar Akgün.</p><p>Isabel Muñoz farklı kültürlerin doğasını estetiğini yaşam biçimlerini keşfetmeyi ve yansıtmayı seven Türkiye'nin en önemli arkeolojik alanlarından Göbeklitepe Karahantepe ve Sayburç'u fotoğraflarken bu çok etkilendiği görkemli bölgede gizem köken ve sonsuzlukla ilgili soruların peşinden giden bir sanatçı.
