First Lord of the Admiralty Edward Russell 1653 -1727 was a key figure in the Nine Years War notably establishing his reputation at the Battles of Barfleur and La Hougue. <p>Following a decisive 1693 victory over the French navy near Cape Barfleur the House of Commons determined that Russell had not done enough in dispatching French ships; he was removed from duty. After disasters that befell the British Navy in summer 1693 Russell was reinstated. In early May 1694 he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty and sailed for the Mediterranean to thwart French depredations against the Spanish coast near Barcelona and Palamos.

‎[WAR OFFICE]‎

‎Sketch Map of Arabia.‎

‎London: Intelligence Division War Office Geographical Section 1906. 490 by 475mm 19.25 by 18.75 inches. British map charting the progress of the Hejaz Railway Colour printed lithographed map. Produced by the War Office Intelligence Division in 1906 the present map depicts the Arabian Peninsula at the beginning of the twentieth century with an inset map of 'Koweit and Surrounding Country'. During this period the Ottoman Empire maintained control over most of the peninsula which was a mosaic of tribal rulers subject to Ottoman suzerainty. Throughout the nineteenth century the Al Saud strove to regain the control that they had briefly held at the beginning of the century. By 1891 however they had been defeated by their Al Rashid rivals who cooperated closely with the Ottomans and were driven into exile in Kuwait. Of the tributary Arab states the Sharif of Mecca was the most important who ruled the western Hejaz region where the important cities of Mecca and Medina are located. In 1900 the Ottomans had initiated the project of building a railway line between Damascus and Medina passing through the Hejaz. From the beginning however the railway line was subject to attacks from local Arab tribes and although no one of these was ever particularly successful they caused considerable difficulties for Turks posted to the project. Nonetheless by the time the present map was produced a significant length of tracks had been laid through Hejaz indicated by the solid black line and the rest of the track planned down to Medina. The following year the line reached Al-'Ula and amid the celebration of this achievement a group of Harb tribesmen began a small rebellion with the hope of halting the project. Their attempt ultimately failed and by 1908 the line between Damascus and Medina had been completed. At the outset of the twentieth century the British presence in the Arabian Peninsula was concerned primarily with maintaining access to British India protecting the Suez Canal supporting the declining Ottoman power against the threat posed by Russia guaranteeing an oil supply from the Middle East administering protectorates in present-day Yemen Oman and the United Arab Emirates and enforcing its naval role in the Mediterranean. At this time railways were widely considered an indispensable tool in administering gaining and buttressing power not only in this region but across the world. This is probably why the present map which was made some time earlier was revised and updated in 1906 with the changes recently made to the Hejaz Railway: "Corrections July 1905; Railways revised Sept 1906". It also shows other transport routes as well as regional boundaries numerous significant cities and settlements and relief indicated by hachures. Furthermore in the lower left-hand corner there is an inset map showing Kuwait and parts of the surrounding areas. Kuwait had become a British protectorate in 1899 and remained so until 1961. Along the lower edge of the map beneath the list of agents licensed to sell it is a manuscript signature in black ink which is likely by the same hand as the annotations found on the map across parts of Hejaz. Provenance: Annotations adding place-names in black ink. [Intelligence Division, War Office] Geographical Section, unknown‎

‎BRITISH WAR OFFICE‎

‎Hong Kong and the New Territories. North Sheet.‎

‎London : War Office August 1945. 780 by 1050mm. 30.75 by 41.25 inches. Chromolithograph map with manuscript annotations in pencil and pen with three insets and diagrams to right margin minor browning a few nicks and tears to margins. A unique map of Hong Kong and the New Territories with contemporary manuscript annotations showing the liberation of Hong Kong from Japanese occupation. This map which shows Hong Kong Kowloon and the New Territories was first published by the British War Office in 1936. The present example a second edition was published shortly after the end of the Second World War when Britain reoccupied the islands following four years of Japanese occupation. Thick red lines across the map indicate the "all weather roads" that could be relied upon for travel and communications across the region. Extending from Lantau Island to the west to Mirs Bay in the east from the Chinese city of Shenzhen in the north to the southern Soko Islands it is generally considered one of the most detailed maps of Hong Kong made in the early twentieth century. The present example is made more interesting by the copious manuscript annotations that appear across the centre of the map. A grid has been drawn over Hong Kong in pencil marking the lines of longitude and latitude more precisely. Discolouration indicates that it this lower central portion that was the primary focus of the map during its use. Annotations in pen identify features such as "Dockyard Stores" "Canal" and "Coal Dump" and military information including "Officers Mess" and "2 AA Guns". There are also numerous annotations listing the number of Japanese soldiers in Victoria these include "3000 Japs" together with a further 200 with horses and the Japanese Officer's Mess. Japanese troop numbers are noted on Kowloon totalling just under 2000 men. More annotations can be seen further north near modern day Shenzhen marking the location of the Head Quarters for both the Hong Kong Artillery Force and the Defence Force as well as military companies and infantry divisions. A note in the upper right margin identifies it as the hand of "Capt Owens" an officer in the British Task Force that landed in Hong Kong on 30th August 1945 to take back control of the territory from the Japanese. Established in 1857 the British War Office was the governmental department responsible for the administration of the British Army until 1964 when its functions were transferred to the Ministry of Defense. During this time it produced many maps with the number of publications increasing rapidly during years of conflict. War Office, unknown‎

‎[OTTOMAN-VENETIAN WAR] - Balthasar JENICHEN (engraver)‎

‎Warhafftige Conterfettung der Turckischen Armata von Galleen und andern Schiffen Dreihundert wie solche dess 1570 Jars in Ordnunge wider die Venedische Lendt ist aussgefahren‎

‎Nuremberg 1571. Engraving printed on two sheets of laid paper joined. Engraver's monogram at the lower left. Early manuscript caption in English in the lower margin. Plate mark: 11 x 16 inches. Sheet size: 14 5/8 x 18 3/8 inches. Very rare German news-sheet map depicting the Turkish fleet invasion of Cyprus in 1570.<br/> <br/> Exceptionally scarce engraved German broadside map depicting the Ottoman fleet sailing to Venetian-controlled Cyprus in 1570. The early English manuscript caption in ink just below image reads: "The representation of the Turkish Navall Army in ye year 1570 going forth to meet the Venetian fleet." Cyprus then under Venetian rule was a strategic point for controlling shipping and trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Ottomans ruled by Sultan Selim II had long desired the island. Following a series of warnings and demands the Ottoman fleet commanded by Müezzinzade Ali Pasha and Lala Mustafa Pasha sailed for Cyprus in late June 1570. Depicted here the Turkish fleet was composed of an estimated 350-400 ships and upwards of 100000 men. Following sieges and massacres at Nicosia Kyrenia and Famagusta the island was taken by August 1571. Although the invasion was long-heralded the Venetian fleet failed to prevent the invasion or the subsequent fall of Cyprus to the Turks. However they subsequently raised the support of the "Holy League" of the Catholic maritime states in the Mediterranean and defeated the Ottoman fleet at the Battle of Lepanto in October 1571 off the western coast of Greece. The victory of the Holy League prevented the Ottoman Empire expanding further along the European side of the Mediterranean though did not end their possession of Cyprus. Jenichen who signed the map with his monogram 'BI' was the leading German publisher of news-sheet maps. Jenichen and compatriot Matthias Zündt took particular interest in the conflict and produced views and maps of it that equaled and surpassed those of their Italian counterparts. Given their ephemeral nature all are rare and desirable. We can locate only one other example of this engraving appearing at auction in recent times Sotheby's London 29 April 2014 lot 157 £60000.<br/> <br/> Hollstein XL B 128; G.K.

‎(GENERAL ORDERS -- CIVIL WAR). TOWNSEND, ED E D‎

‎General Orders No. 211‎

‎Washington DC: War Department 1864 June 15. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Lightly soiled and a tad edgeworn with two file holes at left not affecting text. Townsend announces a "Public Resolution -- No. 34" being "A Resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red river by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." Bailey 1825-67 was one of only 15 men voted the "Thanks of Congress" -- and the only one who wasn't a corps or division commander. General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign was saved from a disastrous loss of life by this Wisconsin engineer who devised a plan to raise the level of a river at Alexandria by constructing a winged dam. For ten days about 10000 soldiers slaved away to build it. The river did indeed raise and Admiral Porter's stranded fleet of ten gunboats floated safely past. Remnants of "Bailey's Dam" can still be seen today. An intriguing relic of this famed event. unknown‎

The acceptance of McClellan's resignation without comment or praise over a job well done speaks volumes about the much-disliked commander's lackluster performance. unknown‎
