St. Leon Frederick Ward Saunders Sue M. Scott Maurice Silingsby Frederick Stanhope Horace B. Staniford John Thornberry Winnie Woodfern and Joseph Wolf. <br /> <br /> The accompanying text added below for context. <br /> <br /> Mr. Stebbings June and Mr. Nutter of Boston who undertook the voyage to Ceylon for the purpose of procuring elephants for Mr. Barnum's Traveling Menagerie have furnished us with some curious descriptions of their adventures in the interior of the island. On their arrival at Point de Galle early in October last they were disappointed in their expectations of procuring tame elephants either from the government authorities or from the temples which own large numbers of them. They then proceeded to Columbo the maritime capital of Ceylon on the western coast and afterwards to the city of Kany in the interior but without succeeding in their object. Very heavy rains had fallen just before their arrival and the elephants were required to assist in mending the roads. In this dilemma the elephant seekers determined to go into the jungles among the wild herds and endeavor to capture a ship load of the animals. This was considered a dangerous undertaking as the rainy season had just set in and the country necessary to be traversed was a dense tropical wilderness with no other roads than the foot-paths from one native village to another. Ceylon is divided nearly into two equal parts by a range of mountains running north and south which divide the periodical rains so that the rainy season changes from one side of the island to the other and the elephants follow it. Mr. June captured the greatest number of his elephants in the northern part of the island near the town of Anarajahpoora. The first process toward capturing the elephants is accurately represented in the engraving below. The natives having ascertained the spots most frequented by the herds construct in the neighborhood a kraal or pen. This is shaped like three sides of a square having an aperture on the fourth side for the entrance of the elephants from each side of which extends a long palisade slanting outwards like the mouth of a funnel. The kraal is made of heavy upright posts planted at a short distance from each other and lashed together by withes. To make them more secure they are stayed by slanting posts set against them on the outside. When the kraal is finished the natives surround a heard and by shouts and the firing of muskets alarm the animals who are urged forward toward the entrance and at last are all secured within the enclosure. In capturing these animals the natives evince much skill and tact. Our artist had thrown much life and spirit into this scene. Another way of taking elephants is sometimes practised. The animals during the heat of the day will sometimes rest himself against a tree and take an hour's doze with great satisfaction. Some of the natives are daring enough at this time to creep through the jungle till they reach his very feet. Provided with a rope the other end of which is made fast to a tree the hind leg of the animal is touched gently and being very sensitive he lifts his foot to shake off the supposed fly and a noose is instantly slipped under. This is repeated with the other foot and the elephant waking up finds himself caught. -Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion June 21 & 28 1851. Frederick Gleason unknown

1894519126B.T. Batsford London 1894. 1st Edition. Unframed Photograph Print. Very Good Condition. Bolsover's Riding School built c.1660 is England's earliest surviving dressage arena; restored by English Heritage. Charles Latham was one of the most influential architectural photographers of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods renowned for his evocative images of country houses and formal gardens across Britain and Italy. His work helped define the visual language of architectural publishing and preservation. His first major commission was for J. Alfred Gotch's Architecture of the Renaissance in England 1894 from which this photograph is taken where his collotype plates captured the texture and grandeur of Elizabethan and Jacobean houses with remarkable clarity. Latham later helped shape the visual identity of Country Life magazine which we always have in stock photographing both historic estates and newly built homes. His images became central to the magazine's appeal combining editorial elegance with technical innovation in print reproduction. Each of Charles Latham's architectural photographs captures a singular moment of craftsmanship patronage or domestic ambition from heraldic chimney-pieces to formal garden fronts. Whether collegiate civic or aristocratic these buildings speak to the stylistic confidence of their age. Many remain inhabited studied or preserved today making each image not just a historical record but a quietly resonant portrait of continuity. Published in 1894 this fine Victorian-period image has been carefully removed from Gotch's monumental work. Printed in Leipzig Germany by Sinsel & Co. on thick cream-coloured paper this image reflects the firm's hallmark clarity and tonal depth featuring the building's name in sepia ink below a ruled border with Latham's beautifully composed black-and-white photograph taking centre place.
