(Antiques)(Toys) WALES, Bob
Mold Making Toy Soldier Making and Collecting
Apollo Beach FL: M.A.P. Company 1986. First Edition First Printing. Original wraps. Very Good. 5 3/4 X 8 1/2 Inches. 120 PP. Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page. Although the author states this to be the "only" book on the market written for the toy soldier hobbyist we have not been able to verify this. That said this is obviously an important guide for the toy soldier creator and/or collector. While Wales' spelling and grammar are interesting to say the least his instructions for casting in metel and rubber seem clear and concise. Illustrated throughout with B/W photographs. Original comb-binding complete and intact. Includes sections on "Over Seas Companys" selling toy soldiers and supplies as well as listings for exhibitions and clubs in the United States. Stain to lower front cover. OCLC locates "0" copies and very scarce in commerce. M.A.P. Company unknown

Thank you <u>so</u> much for that magnificent & highly original inkwell I don't know how you manage to find these things with feathers on Is there anything which <u>hasn't</u> got feathers on!</em></p><p><em>I was so touched that you managed to ensure your present reached me on my birthday in Tokyo. I felt very spoilt!</em></p><p><em>All best wishes as always</em></p><p><em><u>Charles"</u></em></p><p>The King was in Tokyo on his birthday in 1990 as the then Prince and Princess of Wales were attending the enthronement of Emperor Akihito. Emperor Akihito recently abdicated in 2019 due to his declining health and was replaced by his son formerly Crown Prince Naruhito.</p><p>Dudley Poplak was born in South Africa in 1930 and received British citizenship shortly after moving to Britain in 1959. Poplak was a highly successful interior designer receiving commissions from the British royal family and British nobility. He initially came into contact with the royal family via Frances Shand-Kydd 1936-2004 the Mother of Diana Princess of Wales. He was introduced to Frances Shand-Kydd by Elizabeth Clare Hanley 1915-2002 a lampshade designer who received a royal warrant in 1977 as the official lampshade supplier for the royal family.</p><p>Poplak updated the rooms Diana Princess of Wales was using when she first moved to Kensington Palace in 1981. He also refurbished Highgrove House for the Prince of Wales and his soon to be wife Lady Diana Spencer which he regarded as "the most important assignment I have ever had." Poplak's 2005 obituary in The Times characterised him as "a shy and private man" who was deeply valued and trusted by his clients for his "courtier-like discretion and marked reticence with the press." When The Times wrote a story that he was refurbishing Highgrove House for the Prince and Princess of Wales he stated:</p><p>"I certainly won't tell you what the colour schemes are. That would be like disclosing the design of Lady Diana's wedding dress."</p><p>After the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales Poplak carried out further interior design projects at the royal residences and also on the royal train. Poplak was a good friend of both the Prince and Princess of Wales and remained so even after the couple's divorce. Although Poplak retired in the 1990's he continued to carry out interior design work for Prince Charles up until he died in 2005.</p><p>The Times.

He was also a member of their academic board a tutor in London and the summer schools in both France and Italy.</p><p>Art is one of the King's great passions and he wrote in the introduction to this work:</p><p>"I have tried in these pages to convey something of the part that painting plays in my life. In many ways it helps to keep me reasonably sane and if it doesn't appeal to the critics then it's just too bad! I only hope that those who are rash enough to thumb through this book may be helped to discover what infinite beauty and delight there is in the details of God's creation".</p><p>The Queen Mother wrote the preface for the book. In part the Queen Mother wrote:</p><p>"I am delighted that this book is being published and it is nice to think that a wider audience will now have a chance to see some of the watercolours painted by my grandson in many different parts of the world. Ever since he was a small boy Prince Charles has taken an interest in his surroundings and has developed his powers of observation to the point where painting became a necessary and vital expression of that interest."</p><p>The money raised from sales of the book was given to the Prince of Wales's charities.</p><p>Please contact us for shipping costs if ordering from outside the UK.</p> Little, Brown and Company. hardcover

(Pennant, Thomas).
A TOUR IN WALES. MDCCLXX.
pp. vi, (1), 455, (10) [Index, Proposals and Advertisement] + Twenty-seven engraved plates, many folding. Engraved and decorated title page. Some offsetting from plates. Foxed. All edges decorated red. 4to. Rebound in three quarters leather over marbled boards. Spine paper label. Hardbound. Thomas Pennant (1726-1798) was probably the foremost 18th century Welsh intellectual. A naturalist, zoologist, and antiquary, he is best known for this 'A Tour in Wales'. In his famous autobiography The Literary Life (1793) he states that he sometimes marvelled at his own industry. His first book was the 1766 folio, British Zoology. This made a financial loss as it had been printed on paper that was too large. Thereafter all his major works appeared in smaller formats, either octavos or quartos. The current view of his contribution to natural history is that its importance lies in the fact that he popularized and promoted its study. His tours and topographic works also display his insistence on detailed research. Among the accounts of tours he published are those of two separate visits to Scotland, a tour from Chester to London, and an account of London itself. His A Tour in Wales (1778-1783) is regarded as being quite outstanding and easily the finest work in a considerable corpus of Welsh tour literature published from ca. 1770 onwards. Pennant also became a collector more as a scholar than as a connoisseur. As a patron he tended to purchase pictures which were directly commissioned from the artist. First Edition. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! TRAVEL/7

Ali Seref Pasa or Hafix Ali Esref. He was a soldier, who was schooled in Paris as a cartographer around 1862. Already in Paris he published his first atlas with 22 maps, called 'Yeni atlas'. Upon his return to Istanbul he became a chief cartographer at the Maatbaa-i amire Printing Press in Beyazit, which was the successor of the Muteferrika press from 1727. Among others he translated the large Kiepert map of Anatolia to Ottoman. He died in 1907, leaving his large project of a gigantic map of Anatolia in 100 sheets unfinished. Ali's name is often misunderstood or even listed as two different people: Ali Seref Pasa and Hafiz Ali Esref. Until the surname law adopted on June 21, 1934, Turks did not have surnames. They were born with one first name and were until the adulthood described only as sons or daughters of their parent's names. Later they were given titles such as Effendi (Sir), Bey (Chief) or Hanim (Madam) for higher classes, or they were given names according to their work or class. The names were not inherited by children until 1934, when the surname law was enforced. The map maker Ali received names Seref, the honourable, and Pasa, the dignitary. He was also known as Hafiz, the memorizer of Qur'an and Esref, Proud. So Ali Seref Pasa would have a meaning 'Honourable Dignitary Ali, and Hafiz Ali Esref, Memorizer of Qur'an, Proud Ali. Daruttibaa - Matbaa-I Amire Printing Press: The first press in the Muslim world, called Daruttibaa, was founded in Istanbul by Ibrahim Muteferrika in 1727, with a permission of Sultan Ahmeet III. It was located in Muteferrika's house. The first book was published in 1729 and until 1742 sixteen other works followed. After Muteferrika's death, the press was supressed for printing, as printed books were considered dangerous. In 1796 the press was purchased by the government and moved to Uskudar in Istanbul, and in 1831 finally to Beyazit, where it was renamed to Matbaa-i Amire in 1866. The press was closed in 1901 and was reopened in 1908 under the name 'Âmire' In 1927 the name changed to State Printing House. The press still exists and is known for publishing school and educational books. Extremely rare. Not in OCLC.; Not in TBMM Map Collection.
