In 1756 he became a prisoner of war with the entire army in Prussia. Because of his small stature he succeeded in escaping disguised as a milkmaid. He went to Warsaw where he could present to the military commander cartographic military information based upon his prison-of-war experiences. In 1760 he was a participant in the Battle of Torgau. He was lightly wounded and his horse was killed. The Prince of Saxony's intercession led to Tielke's promotion to Souslieutenant second lieutenant. In 1761 he belonged to the army of Prince Albrecht of Saxony. In 1762 Tielke's unit was stationed in Silesia. After the Seven Years' War the Saxon troops were redeployed. Tielke was promoted to Premierlieutenant and then Stabscapit n. During the War of the Bavarian Succession he commanded an artillery battery as Compagniechef. During the remainder of his career he was garrisoned mainly at Freiberg. Growing up in poverty Tielke had not received any academic training and yet he became a world-class expert on military fortifications intelligence artillery tactics and strategy. On these subjects he published several treatises which were republished numerous times and translated into English and French. His writings were acknowledged in other German principalities and by Frederick the Great of Prussia.<br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT <br /> <br /> VERY GOOD <br /> <br /> Exterior and binding: Square spines firm hinges and joints bumping to a few corners tight pages. Top edges darkened per usual. Some areas of skinning to boards soiling lightly rubbed extremities. Presents beautifully on the shelf. <br /> <br /> Interior: Pages are generally clean and white with some areas of minor text block oxidization and a scattered spot on occasion. Grubbiness to endpapers and toning. Former owner bookplate of "Pat Murray" on front pastedown of each volume. Foxing to prelims and blanks; some light to scattered clusters of foxing on plates. Light signs of handling - some bent page corners a few small margin tears a few smudges. Leaf 25-26 in Volume I with a penny-sized area of paper loss to bottom margin from insect predation not affecting text. Offsetting from plates. <br /> <br /> All in all a VERY GOOD copy of a scarce and important work on war engineering strategy and tactics in the field of battle. J. Walter hardcover

John Bell (1764-1836) of Lincoln's Inn, English barrister:
John Bell of Lincoln's Inn. Part of document giving his legal opinion in a cause written out by a clerk and signed and dated by him.
Lincoln's Inn. 14 March 1828. Bell's entry in the Oxford DNB records that 'In conversation with the prince regent later George IV Lord Chancellor Eldon was said to have described Bell as the best lawyer then at the equity bar though he could "neither read write walk nor talk": Bell was lame spoke with a broad Westmorland accent the effect of which was heightened by a confirmed stammer and wrote in a hand never more than barely legible. He was accustomed to say that he wrote in three hands - one which he himself could read one which his clerk could read and one which neither he nor his clerk could read.' The present document consists of the lower part of a 4to leaf torn away to make a piece of 16 x 20 cm paper with the legal opinion in a far neater hand than Bell's on both sides. In fair condition on aged and worn paper. The first page of the legal opinion in which no particulars are revealed is pretty much a fair copy while the second page is more untidy with several corrections and interpolations. The first page begins: '<.> then living he will be absolutely entitled to the £3000 and the accumulations and the question will not arise. But if the 21 years expires before he is forty or if he is living when it expires it is uncertain who shall ultimately be entitled to the money and the directions in the will that the produce shall go to those would have been entitled .'. The last page concludes by citing other cases. The last sentence reads: 'But as the Trustees made no benefit of it themselves by Keeping it in their own hands perhaps the Court might charge them 4 Per Cent only and compound Interest.' Bell signs and dates the document at the end of the verso: 'John Bell Lins. Inn March 14. 1828'. Lincoln's Inn. 14 March 1828. unknown

John Berger ; Tom Overton
Portraits : John Berger on Artists
Hardcover, 512 pages, ENG, 240 x 160 x 50 mm, as new, in perfect condition ! illustrations in b/w. ISBN 9781784781767. One of the world's most celebrated art writers, John Berger takes us through centuries of art in this distinctive history that will enlighten and inspire. In Portraits, Berger connects art and history in revolutionary ways, from the prehistoric paintings of the Chauvet caves to Cy Twombly's radical work. In his penetrating and singular prose, Berger presents entirely new ways of thinking about art history, and artists both canonized and obscure,from Rembrandt, to Henry Moore, Jackson Pollock to Picasso. Throughout, Berger maintains the essential connection between politics, art and the wider study of culture. A beautifully illustrated walk through many centuries of visual culture from one of the contemporary world's most incisive critical voices.

He explains the reason for not writing sooner: ‘I waited to see how our wants were likely to be as to small pictures’. The picture that Bell describes ‘must be a very interesting one’ and Horsley would ‘much like to see it’. He asks for it to be left where he is addressed to him ‘& then if I am unable to “hang†it I will take care that it is safely returned to you’. TWO 18 December 1886: 2pp 12mo. Signed ‘J. C. Horsley’. He thanks him for the kind trouble ‘but I regret to say that the Committee here do not think the little picture sufficiently up to concert pitch artistically for our Exhibition. ! -’.

In fair condition lightly aged and worn. In the last letter he states that he has received the 'envelopes' and has 'distributed them round to various singers and musicians who will eventually I am sure be sending you a photograph with best wishes'. He apologises for being unable to invite him to visit: 'You see this is a very tiny flat and in fact I am very seldom here for any length of time as my work means continual journeying from place to place for concerts and shows. For instance I am just off to the Channel Islands for some “Yeomen of the Guard†productions an soon go back to America for concerts. This sort of thing is really quite hard-going and leaves very little time for doing many things one would like doing. The thing I look forward to most is to stay in one place for any length of time.' He ends with condolences over the recipient's heart attack. In the first letter written on Cartier's return from America he states that he is enclosing photographs 'to swell your already enormous collection'. In the second he explains that he is sends two more photographs 'taken some time ago'. All from 10 Rutherford House, Brady Street, London E1. 15 January 1974, and 5 March and 21 May 1975. unknown
