Carte-de-visite Photograph and Obituary Notices for "Eccentric Joey Jones" [Joseph Jones].
Carte-de-visite photograph and obituary notices for "Eccentric Joey Jones" [Joseph Jones], who was well-known as an entertainer in the world of sport, particularly equestrianism, even to the Prince of Wales who saw his performances, mounted to a numbered leaf, with other texts and a green and white tobacco label from the Inland Revenue Division of Windsor, for 1 lb Canada leaf only, presumably what he enjoyed. Mounted to verso are two manuscript letters addressed to W.T. Roycroft, Esq., friend and supporter of the popular Joey Jones, who undoubtedly was the compiler of this memorial leaf. Leaf measures approximately 20 x 28 cm, chips to margins, loss to upper left corner, otherwise in very good condition, preserving the memory of a British Eccentric and holding a very scarce cdv portrait. Joseph Jones, better known as "Eccentric Joey Jones", a well-known attendant on race courses and at prize fights, where his sayings and doings amused all classes of society. He was also a talented equestrian and performed some remarkable feats of horsemanship. He was also fortunate in making money on horses, and was often chosen to be master of the ceremonies at benefits and other sporting events. His life was not by any means ordinary, nor was he, and he entertained people for decades, being a popular and familiar personality in the Victorian era. As a youth, he made his first appearance on Soap-yard, Borough Market, on 28 May 1816. [Borough Market is widely considered London's oldest retail and wholesale food market. It's been operating at its current site since 1756.] At age fourteen, he became a cabin boy on a sailing vessel engaged in trading between limerick and London. He did that for a few years, but being the highly social and charismatic person that he was, seafarring life was not to his liking. He subsequently joined a travelling circus, where he became a skilled equestrian and clever acrobat. Alas, he had a severe accident, and was forced to learn a new trade. With a natural affinity for entertaining, he joined a company of strolling players and eventually became famed for his comedic routines and antics. In 1846 he essayed the part of Orthello, though was not as successful as a tragedian. Later, he was engaged by "Lord Chief Baron Nicholson" [Renton Nicholson 1809-1861] as a mock advocate and in Ellington's year he rode down to the Derby in his wig and gown. [In partnership with Thomas Bartlett Simpson, Renton Nicholson 1841 he opened the Garrick's Head and Town Hotel in Covent Garden, and in a large room in this house, on Monday, 8 March 1841, established the well-known Judge and Jury Society, where he himself soon presided, under the title of 'The Lord Chief Baron.' Members of both houses of parliament, statesmen, poets, actors, and others visited the Garrick's Head, and it was not an uncommon occurrence to see the jury composed of peers and members of the lower house. The trials were humorous, and gave occasion for much real eloquence, brilliant repartee, fluent satire, and not infrequently for indecent witticism. Nicholson's position as a mock judge was one of the sternest realities of eccentric history. Attorneys when suing him addressed him as 'my lord.' Sheriffs' officers, when executing a writ, apologised for the disagreeable duty they were compelled to perform 'on the court.'] He entertained audiences during the Spring and Summer meetings at Epsom, south of London, and in his later years, earned a meager living by way of comic and other recitations at sporting reunions. At the time of his death, Jones was the oldest knight of the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB), one of the largest fraternal movements in the United Kingdom. It was his 'brothers' within the fraternity, who organised a "respectable interment." Jones passed away 19 April 1889 and was buried at Nunhead Cemetery, one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London, England. Located in Nunhead in the London Borough of Southwark, it was originally known as All Saints' Cemetery. It was consecrated in 1840 and opened by the London Cemetery Company. Several interesting figures are buried at Nunhead, including a Peninsular War soldier, actors and other performers, writers, noteworthy business owners, railway engineer Sir Charles Fox, Lord Mayor of London Sir Polydore de Keyser, etc. Falling to disrepair and total abandon, in the early 1980s, the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery was formed, to renovate and protect the cemetery. Today it is classified as a Local Nature Reserve. A fascinating memorial, with rare photograph, to a nineteenth century British Eccentric who make an impression in the equestrian and comedic realms of entertainment, famous and revered in his day.

Lot of 6 Issues of Germany's First Published Aviation Magazine, Der Flieger, Featuring WWI Flying Aces .
Lot of 6 issues of Germany's first published aviation magazine, Der Flieger, published by the founder Kurt Tucholsky during the Great War, these issues featuring flying aces such as the Red Baron Manfred von Richthofen and leading tactical pioneer of aerial formations Oswald Boelcke, and notable events taking place in the air and on the frontlines of the Great War. Octavo. Illustrated field newspapers, issues number 19, 22, 23, 34 from 1917, issue number 29 dated May 1918, and issue number 1 dated October 1918 Text is in German. Magazines vary slightly in size, the smallest measuring approximately 26 x 35 cm and the largest measuring approximately 27 x 38 cm. Some chips and small tear at extremities, otherwise in very good condition, nicely preserved. Der Flieger was published by Kurt Tucholsky (1890-1935), who became one of the most important journalists of the Weimar Republic. Der Flieger was a field newspaper, now remembered as the oldest German aviation monthly periodical. From 1915 to 1917 Tucholsky served in the artillery flying school East I in Alt-Autz. From 26 November 1916 to November 1918 he published the field newspaper Der Flieger. Tucholsky was one of the most important journalists of the Weimar Republic Early issues of Der Flieger are exceedingly scarce. The present lot features Richthofen's 75th victory described by one of the very first men with whom Richthofen shared the details only two hours after the bold action, not long before he lost his own life in combat, an account of how in 1916 Oswald Boelcke earned the award "Pour le Mérite" along with Max Immelmann, an aviator's aerial view of Verdun shortly after the great battle of 1917, and more. Richthofen's 75th victory, a most notable attack which earned him a prestigious chivalry award, is recounted by one of the very first men who heard the details firsthand from the gallant aviator himself - only a couple of hours after the incident. Flying Ace Manfred von Richthofen, the famed Red Baron, is featured in the issue of 12 May 2018 with an article titled "Wie Richthofen seinen 75. abschoß [How Richthofen Shot Down his 75th." Richthofen had died in air combat only six weeks earlier on 21 April 1918, being the highest-scoring ace of the war, eventually being credited with 80 official victories. The account is written by a Lieutenant Lampel, who had only just met the famous ace for the first time on 2 April 1918. Only a couple of hours earlier Richthofen had claimed his 75th victory, by taking the lives of 19-year-old Second Lieutenant E.D. Jones and Second Lieutenant R.F. Newton. Flying ace Oswald Boelcke is featured with a portrait sketch on the front of the October 1918 issue, which is followed by an article describing the event that earned him the prestigious award "Pour le Mérite" being the second Great War aviator to receive the honor, immediately after and on the same day as Max Immelmann. Published for German aviators and frontline fighters alike, the issues center on matters timely and relevant to those who were directly involved in the monarch's scheme for economic and political domination of central Europe and the creation of a German colonial empire.

Rare Slavery Document: Wisselbrief [Bill of Exchange, Promissory Note].
A numbered (278) and printed document granting financial compensation to a slave owner in Suriname, by the Dutch government, signed in the original by numerous parties including the Gouverneur de Kolonie Suriname [Governor of Suriname] Van Lansberge, the Administrateur van Financienvan Het Ministerie van Kolonien te s-Gravenhague [Finance Administrator for the Ministry of the Colonies, at The Hague], and the recipient of the funds who is not only a slave owner but well-known chirurgeon A.D. Charlouis. Text is in Dutch. With steel engraved colonial coat of arms, official ink stamps, the embossed stamp of the "Klein Kolonie Suriname" government. Single leaf measuring approximately 26,5 x 13 cm. Very good condition, beautifully preserved, a scarce and historical slavery document with notable signature. The present document is interesting, as is was made almost two years after the official abolition of slave ownership in Suriname, which reveals the lengthy time period over which this process was stretched. The government's primary concern was not the freedom of the enslaved people; it was the preservation of the plantation economy, lest there be a mass exodus of workers leaving the plantations. The latter was cited as the reason and justification for the mandatory employment contract which accompanied 'free status' of a slave. Chirurgeon Andries Daniel Charlouis (Emden, Lower Saxony 1820 - Paramaribo, Suriname 1880) is the recipient of this compensation. Historical evidence reveals that he had more slaves than what is represented with this document, and that he released them gradually. He was well-known in the field of medical science, particularly for his studies on medicinal matters and the indigenous people of South America; his name appears in numerous medical journals of the period. Reinhart Frans Cornelius van Lansberge (1804-1873), whose signature authorizes this document, was the Governor-General of Suriname from 1 August 1859 to 29 June 1867. Slavery was abolished in the Dutch West Indies during his governorship. Previous to this post, he was Governor of Curacao from 1855 to 1859, and formerly Dutch Consul-General Venezuela. Doctor Charlouis, whose original signature is found to verso, received 1935 guilders with this promissory note effective 15 August 1865. This figure represents the release of approximately 6 slaves. A manuscript annotation to upper left margin, penned in a West Germanic language, refers to the abolition act: "Opheffing der slavernij... 1863" [Elimination of slavery... 1863]. Red ink annotations reveal that this document was registered on 16 September 1865, and signed by a Geregistreerde referendaris J.C. Jaunen [registered secretary]. Additional annotations to the upper margin suggest that the funds were cashed in on 16 October 1865 "Betaalbaar te Amsterdam" [paybale to Amsterdam]. Also interesting to note, two of the signed annotations to verso, those of Charlouis and a witness, make reference to German plantation owner, banker Wilhelm Eduard Ruhmann at Paramaribo. As such, this transaction was most likely transacted at Surinaamsche Bank which had been founded earlier the same year, and the funds dispatched from there to the Dutch government in The Netherlands. The Netherlands abolished the Atlantic slave-trade in 1814. However, localized slavery continued for over half a decade. Slavery was finally abolished in Suriname and the Dutch West Antilles on 1 July 1863 with the Emancipation Act. On that day, about 35,000 slaves in Suriname and 12,000 slaves on the Dutch islands in the Caribbean were given their freedom, or rather a modified version of freedom. Freed men in Suriname come under state supervision for ten years with a mandatory employment contract on the plantations. The slave owners received financial compensation from the government upon releasing their slaves to this system. The Dutch government paid 300 guilders per slave to the owner for the "lost property". (In the Dutch East Indies, payments were far lower, 50 to 350 guilders depending on the age of the slave). The abolition of slavery was referred to as 'emancipation'. Parties were organized in which King William III was presented as a key figure and benefactor of the freed slaves.

Slight wear to boards with some creasing at spine, fracture to one clasp, otherwise in very good condition, well preserved for its age. The Roman Breviary (Breviarium Romanum) is the liturgical book of the Latin liturgical rites of the Catholic Church containing the public or canonical prayers, hymns, the Psalms, readings, and notations for everyday use, especially by bishops, priests, and deacons in the Divine Office. The Breviary rightly so called, only dates from the 11th century; the earliest manuscript containing the whole canonical office is of the year 1099 and is in the Mazarin library. Undergoing several reforms through the centuries, the volume containing the daily hours of Roman Catholic prayer was published as the Breviarium Romanum until the reforms of Paul VI, when it became known as the Liturgy of the Hours.

Britain's Cottons: Vintage Sample Box by the Cotton Board Home Trade Department.
Boxed samples supplied by the Cotton Board Home Trade Department, containing cotton samples in seven formats at different stages of production, thirteen unique fabric swatches made from said cotton, each of the samples and swatches accompanied by a text description on a blue card. Together with the original photographic pictorial insert printed recto and verso to illustrate industrial cotton processing and provide statistics to entice commercial buyers. Original blue cardboard box measuring approximately 32 x 16 x 4 cm, with six box compartments within it serving to neatly separate and display the contents, and paper label to front. Wear and pierce marks to box, otherwise in excellent condition, its contents well preserved, an intact and complete item. Samples show cotton at various stages, including: An American Cotton Boll, Cleaned Cotton (Scutcher Lap), Carding (Card Silver), Slubbing, Roving, a Mule Cop of weft yarn ready for use in a loom shuttle, a Ring Tube of weft yarn suitable for warp in the weaving process, 13 finished woven fabric swatches, most of which are dyed. Statistics printed on the inserted leaf, reveal that in the year 1960, the United Kingdom exported cotton goods amounting to a value of £63,000,000 while local consumers purchased approximately 1,800 million square yards of cotton textiles. Further listing all the countries from where raw cotton and the like was imported, the United Kingdom purchased 822 million lbs. From this, the finished product of cotton textiles exported to Africa, Australia and New Zealand, America, and Western Europe, amounted to 327 million square yards exported. An astounding 222,720 workers were employed in the United Kingdom Cotton Industry, mostly in Lancashire, but also including the neighbouring districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire. The Cotton Board was an organisation to oversee the organisation, research, marketing and promoting the cotton textile industry mainly based in Lancashire and Glasgow. A voluntary Cotton Board was set up in 1940 to "promote the welfare of the industry by internal reorganisation, by the development of export trade, scientific research, propaganda and other means." The board was given statutory status from 1948 to 1972 under the Industrial Organisation and Development Act 1947, and was known in its last years as the Textile Council. The Board had equal representation from industry and trades unions, with four members each, plus three independent members. It was given the power to levy up to £250,000 a year from the industry. Its headquarters was in Manchester, together with the "Colour, Design and Style Centre", which became the public face of the board. Between 1956 and 1962, the Cotton Board organised promotions to try and increase sales of Lancashire cotton within the UK, using generic marks, particularly the slogan "Buy British Cottons" - as seen on the leaf in the present display box. Its initiatives included new methods for utilising labour, recruitment and training, the encouragement of collaboration within the cotton industry, and design innovations. British fashion designs and fabrics were showcased at national and international exhibitions, ranging from an exhibition on the history of the cotton mills and a display of 1960s children's clothing to soft furnishing promotions at large stores and national fashion shows. Initiated by the Cotton Industry Act 1959, the Board engaged in a major attempt to reorganise the cotton industry, which entailed "the scrapping of machinery and compensation for redundant workers in the industry, which was carried through with great success and great expedition". Regrettably, a combination of reduced consumer demand, poor marketing and cheaper Commonwealth imports during the period of reorganisation created, a reduction of confidence in the industry, according to the Board's chairman Lord Rochdale. This both reduced the amount asked for by industry and invested by the government and resulted in machinery being installed in mills that either closed or became idle. Furthermore, because of the need to replace machinery on a ten-year cycle, idleness was likely to mean that investments would not be recouped. The Board funded research into cotton fabrics via an industry-wide levy. This was undertaken by the British Cotton Industry Research Association (BCRIA), better known as the Shirley Institute. By the 1960s, research also involved man-made fabrics, whose manufacturers began to pay a research levy to the Cotton Board from 1961. Meanwhile, from 1946, the British Rayon Research Association (BRRA) was formed by the British Rayon Federation and others, to investigate the chemical and physical properties of rayon and rayon fabrics, using a wide range of laboratory and theoretical methods. It became clear that a merger between the BCIRA and BRRA was needed, and in 1961 the two joined together as "The Cotton, Silk, and Man-Made Fibres Research Association in 1961", still popularly referred to as the Shirley Institute. In 1967, the Cotton Board was renamed the Textile Council. Between 1967 and 1969, the Textile Council conducted an enquiry into the productivity of the industry, and produced a major report. The report ultimately recommended a move away from cotton import quotas to imposition of tariffs on cotton goods imported from the British Commonwealth and elsewhere, to protect British industries. The recommendation was accepted by Wilson's Labour government and its Conservative successor. The Textile Council was dissolved in 1971-2, at its own request, as it was felt the work would be better handled by a new voluntary British Textile Council.
