Acquaforte, 1844 circa, firmata in lastra in basso al centro. Figlio del pittore paesaggista Jacob George Strutt (1790-1864), del quale fu allievo, girovagò attraverso la Francia e la Svizzera in compagnia del padre, prima di giungere entrambi in Italia nel 1831, per stabilirsi a Roma. Rimase per il resto della sua vita in Italia, interessandosi soprattutto agli aspetti "pittoreschi", in particolare a quelli della Campagna romana, rivolgendo la sua attenzione, in modo specifico, ai paesaggi e ai costumi degli abitanti. Nel 1841 intraprese un viaggio a piedi verso il sud dell'Italia (allora Regno delle Due Sicilie, in compagnia dell'amico William Jackson, partendo da Porta San Giovanni (Roma) il 30 aprile e giungendo a Palermo il 15 dicembre, dopo aver attraversato la Campania e la Calabria. Le sue osservazioni furono raccolte in un libro, A pedestrian tour in Calabria & Sicily (Un viaggio a piedi in Calabria e in Sicilia) che ebbe un notevole successo, soprattutto nei paesi anglosassoni, ed è considerato ancor oggi un documento molto importante per comprendere la società del Regno delle Due Sicilie nel periodo pre-unitario. Magnifica prova, impressa su carta coeva, ampi margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Etching, 1844 circa, signed at the bottom. Arthur John Strutt (1819, in Chelmsford – 1888, in Rome), was an English painter, engraver, writer, traveller and archaeologist. He was the son of the landscape painter Jacob George Strutt (1790–1864) and the writer and traveller Elizabeth Strutt. In 1841 he travelled on foot through central and southern Italy and in Sicily. He and his friend, the poet William Jackson, otherwise unknown, started from the Porta San Giovanni of Rome on 30 April 1841, reaching Palermo on 15 December, and arriving back at Rome in July of the following year. An account of this journey is given in his A Pedestrian Tour in Calabria & Sicily published in London, in 1842. A fine impression, on contemporary paper, large margins, very good condition.

460 pages including index. In 1945, the Headmaster-Designate of an Approved School suggested to the Trustees that it would be of much practical value to have an intensive study of a group of delinquents made by one who could be granted the necessary facilities by residence for a period in a School and by virtual adoption on to its staff. They were fortunate in securing the services of the author for the purpose. Mr. Stott, for four years, enjoyed the active co-operation of the Warden and the members of the permanent staff of a School whose identity it is not, for obvious reasons, possible to disclose. The present volume is the result of Mr. Stott's investigation and of his sympathetic and expert approach to the task thus entrusted to him. Unmarked. Moderate wear. Two half inch tears and some wrinkling to bottom edge of back cover. Solid copy. Book

Mystery around the Lippizzaner horses of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.Lovely Vanessa March, two years married and very much in love, did not think it was a strange for her husband to take a business trip to Stockholm. What was strange was the silence that followed. She never thought to look for her missing husband in Vienna -- until she saw him in a newsreel shot there at the scene of a deadly fire. Then she caught a glimpse of him in a newsreel shot of a crowd near a mysterious circus fire and knew it was more than strange. It was downright sinister. Vanessa is propelled to Vienna by the shocking discovery. In her charge is young Timothy Lacy, who also has urgent problems to solve. But her hunt for answers only leads to more sinister questions in a mysterious world of white stallions of Vienna. But what promises to be no more than a delicate personal mission turns out to involve the security forces of three countries, two dead men, a circus and its colourful personnel. And what waits for Vanessa in the shadows is more terrifying than anything she has ever encountered. Book
