First edition of the British-Indian armys official account of the 1919-20 Waziristan campaign marked "Confidential" on the title-page.

Since the 1870s the British government agencies were assiduous in compiling internally published histories of their military frontier operations with the intention of providing a "valuable guide" to such British commanders and policymakers as "might have future dealings with these turbulent neighbours" as the Punjab Government phrased it in 1866.The title-page reports the catalogue number and location of what may be the original report: Catalogue no. C.W. 4 - Case no. 8987 N.S..Serial No. 1235 stamped on the title-page. Occasional light marginal staining. A few edge flaws consistent with army use repaired by a contemporary owner.

In the background there are mountains palm trees houses and people including a Chinese person. The foreground shows deciduous and palm trees with a lit grotto holding an idol inscribed with "Brama". In front of the grotto an evangelical missionary preaches to a large congregation of natives while holding a book of music in his left hand and pointing to Brama with his right hand. The missionary wears a turban a priest's cloak and has flappers. The audience under the hill is depicted in interesting groups with some closer to us appearing larger and clearer. At the bottom of the engraving there is an art altar with several books including the "Biblia Malabarica" "Catechism Malabaricus" and the hymnal "Liber Cantion. Malabar." The engraving was made by the German engraver painter draughtsman and art publisher Johann Elias Ridinger 1698-1767. He trained in Ulm and Augsburg under Christoph Resch and Johann Falch and learned engraving from Georg Philipp Rugendas. Ridinger later spent three years in Regensburg where he developed his style through coursing and visits to the riding school. His ornamental works show Rococo stylistic tendencies and he founded his own publishing house in Augsburg. His precise and tasteful drawings were highly regarded and transferred to decoration porcelain and ceramics.With two minor tears one partly repaired the other one not affecting the engraving.

[INDIA - SHIP JOURNAL - EAST INDIA COMPANY].
Journal of the proceedings of the honourable East India Company ship Winchelsea.
Aboard the Winchelsea written and drawn at sea 1822. Contemporary half gold-tooled brown calf marbled paper sides each volume with a different marbled paper the journal volume with marbled endpapers. 8vo. The two sketchbooks contain a total of ca. 100 pages of sketches of ships done in pencil including 1 page containing signal flags in colour. 3 volumes. With: Two sketchbooks with pencil drawings of ships. A neatly-written and illustrated sea journal kept by James Dudman the second mate on board the East India Company's ship Winchelsea during a 1822-23 voyage to India. Launched in 1803 the Winchelsea was already a veteran East Indiaman this being her ninth voyage - she made a total of eleven voyages for the EIC before she was broken up in 1834. On the present voyage commanded by Captain William Adamson she carried 592 people including the 17th and 44th Regiments of Foot and detachments of the King's and EIC's soldiers and a number of women and children. The sea journal volume is accompanied by two additional volumes by Dudman containing pencil sketches of unidentified masted sailing vessels.The Winchelsea's journey from its departure at Blackwall Dock on April 24 1822 to its arrival in Bengal and eventual return to England via St. Helena and The Downs on May 24 1823 reflects the extensive maritime routes integral to British imperial dominance. The ship's role in transporting personnel and cargo exemplifies the strength of the EIC's logistical network sustaining Britain's colonial and economic interests in India. The journal with its careful record-keeping offers an intimate glimpse into the daily operations experiences and extraordinary events encountered by the second mate aboard an East Indiaman during Britain's height of imperial expansion.The journal written in Dudman's beautiful scribe-like handwriting opens with an entry dated 24 April 1822 at Blackwall Dock where the voyage started "bound for Bengal." The next few pages contain a detailed listing of the people on board beginning with the ship's company of 122 men with names followed by the troops on board: "List of a detachment of His Majesty's Troops belonging to the 44th Regt. of Foot on board the Honable. Company's Ship Wincelsea for Bengal" comprising name and rank of 367 men followed by the names of 42 women on board as well as the name and age of 57 children on board including 3 who died at sea plus 4 additional passengers.At Saugur meaning Sagar Island they took on board further passengers duly noted in an additional "List of H.M. 17th Regiment of Foot with the Women and Children accompanying them. Embarked on board the Honble. Company's ship Winchelsea at Saugur New Anchorage for England."Beyond the usual records of position winds weather and other ships Dudman includes interesting notes on unusual occurrences. Perhaps the most fascinating event was recorded on February 10 1823: a major earthquake off the coast of India experienced by the Winchelsea: "At 10 minutes past 1 PM every one on board was greatly alarmed at the singular feel of the ship which was in a violent trembling motion as if the ship was grazing over a rocky shoal and a loud rumbling noise similar to the roll.g! of a Bull quickly along the deck this very singular seuration lasted certainly not less than a minute those below ran on deck to enquire the cause and those below the poop below to ask the same question. I was in the round house at the time when it comen'd. The noise appeared to me as coming along the quarter deck and instantly over the poop the sea was smooth and the day clear. I looked out at the stern windows but saw no appearance of any shoal which I certainly would have done had such existed. The water being very clear and the ship not going more than 2 knots I cannot account for this very singular phenomenon in any other way than its being the shock of an Earthquake".The voyage journal of the Winchelsea during its 1822-23 journey to Bengal provides valuable insight into the maritime operations of the EIC its commercial and colonial reach and the strategic importance of British trade with India in the early 19th century. As a veteran East Indiaman the Winchelsea was part of the vast trading network that connected Britain with the Indian subcontinent transporting soldiers goods and passengers under the auspices of the EIC which functioned as both a commercial enterprise and a colonial governing force.The journal volume contains the typographic book plate of Mr. Jas. Dudman on the front pastedown and a manuscript inscription in ink on the first flyleaf by Lumsden Dudman who was married to Mary Anne Shirreff "Joseph H. Shirreff from L.S. Dudman Xmas 1892" one of the sketchbooks contains a manuscript inventory list in Greek of goods for sale on the first flyleaf and one of the sketchbooks with ownership signature "L: Dudman / Sept. 27 1836" likely Rev. Lumsden S. Dudman perhaps a brother of James Dudman. Some general wear to the leather spines and corners of the boards of the volumes occasionally foxed but overall internally clean. Overall in good condition. unknown

Mumbai:: India Book House Ltd 1999. First edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. The traditional flatwoven Indian dhurrie has long been overshadowed by the luxuriant Mughal pile carpets.

This pioneering work traces the dhurrie back into the mists of prehistoric India with beautifully reproduced photographs of extant examples through the centuries.

The many stages of dhurrie making are comprehensively covered - from the selection and dying of the yarn to the final processes of weaving washing and finishing. Richly illustrated in color.

Copper Plate Document
Eastern India possibly Bengal or Assam circa 18th-19th century. Copper plate 13 7/8 x 9 1/8 inches engraved on both sides. The principal face with several lines of incised text at the head followed by a large engraved validating or emblematic mark and below this three dense sections of text divided by ruled horizontal lines. The reverse largely uninscribed with three small engraved seals or validating marks near the edge. An inscribed copper plate of Indian origin possibly Bengal or Assam engraved in a Bengali or Bengali-Assamese script and preserving a formal documentary text in metal.<br/> <br/> This copper plate belongs to the South Asian tradition of preserving legal devotional and administrative records on durable metal supports. Copper plate documents often described as tamrapatra or copper charters were used for grants endowments title rights decrees and other formal acts their material permanence giving them authority beyond that of ordinary manuscript documents. The present example appears to preserve a substantial text arranged in ruled sections and accompanied by validating marks. The script appears close to Bengali or Bengali-Assamese. The letterforms show rounded and looped shapes consistent with scripts used in eastern India. If confirmed this would suggest an origin in Bengal Assam or a neighbouring region where related scripts were used for administrative and religious writing. From their earliest centuries of development copper plate inscriptions have occupied a central place in South Asian documentary culture particularly in the recording of land grants royal edicts temple endowments and other formal transactions. Their durability made them suitable for preserving records intended to endure and they were often deposited in temples or held by families or institutions as proof of rights and privileges. While earlier examples are frequently associated with royal chancelleries the practice continued into the early modern and colonial periods with regional administrations and local authorities maintaining related forms of documentation. The present plate appears to belong to this later phase of the tradition when such documents were still being produced for administrative legal or commemorative purposes. Its relatively large format and the density of inscription suggest a formal text of some substance while the additional engraved devices indicate an effort to authenticate or formalise the record. The copper plate offers a direct example of a documentary practice that bridges manuscript culture and more durable forms preserving both the text itself and the physical conventions of its transmission. unknown

Copper Plate Document
Western or Northern India circa 18th or 19th century. Copper plate 15 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches engraved on both sides one face densely filled with horizontal lines of incised text and with additional marks including a dagger or torch device and other validating or ownership marks. The reverse more sparsely inscribed with two lines of text. An inscribed copper plate of Indian origin engraved on both sides and belonging to the South Asian tradition of preserving legal devotional and commemorative texts.<br/> <br/> A striking survival from the documentary culture of South Asia where copper served as a durable support for records intended to outlast paper and palm leaf. Such copper records often described as tamrapatra or copper charters were valued because they were portable difficult to alter and capable of serving as enduring witnesses to grants decrees endowments title rights and other formal acts. The script appears to belong to the Nagari family possibly Devanagari or a related cursive administrative hand such as Modi the script long used for Marathi official and business writing. From their earliest centuries of development copper plate inscriptions have occupied a central place in South Asian documentary culture particularly in the recording of land grants royal edicts temple endowments and other formal transactions.

Comprised mostly of landscapes and images of the Indian people some elements of the personal do crop up here and there: Our author is featured in only one photograph he sits on horseback with traveling companions also on horseback and this 2 x 3 image is labeled Self / Lottery Henry / Tommy Alice / The Wallaby ostensibly identifying his friends and their horses; Henry will appear again tiny against a landscape labeled The End Pavillion Chasma Shahi Henry looking for bear. Where it is light on the candid it remains a diligent record every image is identified and all are crisp and clear studiously photographed. A pleasing and unique volume. hardcover

Founded in 1907 by Jamsetji Tata and producing steel by 1912 the company became the largest steel plant in the British Empire.

[India] / [Engraving] / [Lutheranism]. KLEINSCHMIDT, Johann Jacob / RIEDINGER, Johann Elias
EARLY PROTESTANT MISSIONARIES IN INDIA<br>Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirche
<p>Copperplate engraving 83.5 x 55.5 cm 1 folio. Fold marks minor edge wear otherwise a very good copy in very crisp dark impression.<br /></p><p>Rare large-format engraved print produced in 1730 as part of the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession 1530 one of the foundational documents of Lutheranism. The subject of the print is the famous Tranquebar Mission in southern India which was established by King Frederick IV of Denmark 1671-1730 and led by the German missionaries Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg 1682-1719 and Heinrich Plütschau 1676-1752 who are noted for having translated the Bible into Tamil and arranged for its printing.</p><p>The engraving executed by Johann Jacob Kleinschmidt after a design by Elias Riedinger is a splendid example of 18th-century Augsburg printmaking. It takes as its compositional conceit a church altar surmounted by a framed retable. The image above the altar depicts the German missionaries preaching to an audience of natives; in the background of this scene can be glimpsed a statue of 'Biruma oder Brama' Brahma. The elaborately carved frame of the retable is enlivened with vignettes illustrating the successes of the Lutheran mission e.g. an Indian smashing an idol a native being baptized a domesticated elephant symbolizing the people under God's yoke etc.</p><p>Placed atop the altar are oval portraits of Ziegenbalg and Plütschau their names written in Tamil and the books they translated an Indian bible an Indian catechism and an Indian hymnal. A map of southern India hangs on the front face of the altar. Flanking the altar are two young natives: the boy on the left holds the Danish Royal arms and the boy on the right displays the architectural plan of the New Jerusalem Church in Tranquebar built by the Germans and dedicated in 1719. In front of the altar are fallen symbols of the old dispensation. At the foot of the sheet is a poem in Latin and German celebrating the expansion of the Lutheran faith to all corners of the world.</p><p>The engraving is one of several quite ambitious broadside prints produced in Augsburg to commemorate the bicentennial of the Augsburg Confession some of which apparently reproduced paintings executed for the occasion. These rather disparate graphic productions were collected by Johann Michael Roth in 1730/31 and released as a small-edition composite volume with an added engraved title page reading <i>Augspurgisches Iubel-Gedächtnüs</i>. The contents of this rather odd production vary greatly from copy to copy. Kleinschmidt's <i>Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirche</i> engraving apparently was a commercial success because in 1736 citing demand he released a small-format version of the work its composition slightly altered.</p><p>OCLC locates U.S. examples of the <i>Augspurgisches Iubel-Gedächtnüs</i> at Illinois Duke Getty Stanford Princeton Yale Harvard Emory Concordia Seminary and Cal. State Sutro. The Getty copy includes Kleinschmidt's <i>Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirch</i> but it is not clear which other examples include this engraving.</p><p>Drugulin <i>Historischer Bilderatlas</i> 4112; S. Neill <i>A History of Christianity in India</i>.</p> Kleinschmidt
