ref. 1405Tapuscrit imprimé au stencil sur papier fort teinté, entourant un dessin à l’encre noire au centre de la page, quelques corrections à l’effaceur, recouvertes de nouvelles frappes à la machine à écrire (22/31 cm). « A l’époque déjà lointaine où j’étais innocent, alors étendu sur la couche mousse, j’eus souvent pleine occasion de voir des choses bien étranges, et les louanges dont je fus témoin éveillèrent en moi le vif désir de m’instruire d’avantage (sic). J’acquis bientôt la conviction qu’à moins de l’attaquer, tous les efforts tentés sur ce trafic n’aboutiraient qu’à le pallier faiblement. D’un autre côté, le récit de Paul Colinet et Jean Scutenaire avait excité en moi la soif du savoir, et l’orsque (sic) j’appris que des êtres des deux sexes avaient commis en montagne, je sentis que je n’aurais plus de cesse avant d’avoir moi-même expérimenté. Aussitôt que le dard fut décolleté, j’offris mes services, mais ayant échoué j’allai de suite à la recherche de Jean Scutenaire. On supposait alors que l’entreprise Jean Scutenaire avait réussi mais hélas j’arrivai pour constater que l’asseyez-vous n’était encore qu’à l’état d’embrun. On sait comment le retour brusque de Paul Colinet mit fin aux controverses avant que les recherches furent commencées. Désappointé mais gardant l’espoir d’obtenir plus tard une explication, je m’appliquai en étudiant de près le piapre ; objet pacifique prenant naissance à la naissance de l’anus. Voici en bref le procès-verbal de mes expériences actuelles. 1) frôlement et contact à la rive moussue. 2) De préférence sur un lit non ponté. 3) Ponctuation brusque de l’engin brûlant dans la mer rouge en feu4) pénétration sur le rythme de la valse bleue. » À la fois libre et énigmatique, un curieux poème en prose enlaçant une composition au trait dans la partie centrale. La feuille fut retrouvée dans les archives de René Magritte.

1900ref. 14776Peking c1900. map 340 by 261mm. 13.5 by 10.25 inches. Manuscript map 227 by 175mm in pencil and coloured pencil with ink annotations minor foxing pasted on paper. Contemporary newspaper clipping affixed to upper left corner with pin. Two photographs 86 by 295mm pasted to verso sun-spotted bleached and toned. Separate sheet with two photographs pasted to front one to verso in same condition. This unique manuscript plan of the Peking Legation Quarter records the positions of the two opposing sides during the most tense conflict of the Boxer Rebellion. The Yihetaun Movement was a violent uprising in China at the turn of the twentieth century inspired by the proto-nationalist sentiments of United in Righteousness a militant group commonly referred to as 'Boxers'. They condemned the presence of colonial and Christian influences in the country and were incensed by the disruption that had resulted from the growth of foreign powers. Their activities grew increasingly violent throughout the late1890s until against a background of severe drought Boxer rebels converged on Beijing then known as Peking. They marched on the city with the aim of "supporting the Qing government and exterminating the foreigners". In fear of extermination foreigners and Chinese Christians fled to the Legation Quarter the foreign diplomatic centre in the city. Their panic was justified as Empress Cixi sided with the Boxers and issued an imperial decree declaring war on foreign powers. Combined forces from Japan the United Kingdom America France Russia Germany Italy and Austria-Hungary formed the 'Eight-Nation Alliance' to combat the Chinese attacks. The Boxers responded by besieging the Legation Quarter in the summer of 1900 during which the head of the British diplomatic embassy Claude MacDonald later stated that the 13th July was "the most harassing day". The present plan maps the movements of both sides during this engagement with an annotation explaining that "all north of blue line taken by enemy between 20th June - 10th July". A newspaper clipping attached to the map recounts how the allied forces led by British Lietenant-General Gaselee liberated the Legation Quarter the following month with the British the first to breach the Boxers' siege lines. The rebellion was formally ended in 1901 with the Boxer Protocol a settlement under which China was forced to pay a large indemnity to the foreign powers and accept that "the quarter occupied by the legations shall be considered as one specially reserved for their use and placed under their exclusive control in which Chinese shall not have the right to reside and which may be made defensible". Included alongside the map are five photographs taken inside the Legation Quarter helping to illustrate what life was like for the British troops stationed in Beijing during the conflict. One shows a tennis court set on the mountainside which is referenced in the account of Wilkinson a student interpreter at the British Legation. He records that "in summer there was tennis on the Legation lawn and in the grounds of the residence of the young European employees of the China Maritime Customs as well as garden parties at the American Legation". Two other photographs capture the Quarter's extensive gardens filled with trees bridges and pavilions. Wilkinson concedes that "it was an attractive place in which to stay. Only the water-tower and the dingy brick power-plant spoilt the pleasant effect of trees and lawns and flowering shrubs. The large extent of the grounds deadened the noise of the city outside as well as attracting various wild birds - crows cuckoos magpies hoopoes woodpeckers and orioles." A further photograph shows a line of Indian soldiers standing to attention in front of their barracks; as part of the British Empire Indian forces played a key role in its military engagements. The final photograph appears to have been taken from a boat leaving or arriving at the U.S. Quarantine Wharf in the port of Tianjin which was the main maritime gateway to Beijing. Tianjin was central in the conflict since the Boxers cut the railway line between the port-city and Beijing in order to completely isolate the latter making it difficult for the Eight-Nation Alliance to coordinate an organised attack. The picturesque scenes shown in the photographs seem far removed from the very real dangers posed by the rebellion a contrast acutely captured by this intimate and unique collection of contemporary documents.

1687ref. 12426Italy c1687-1730. Image: 395 by 510mm 15.5 by 20 inches. Sheet: 430 by 555mm 17 by 21.75 inches. Copper engraving. A Latin version of Pierre Aveline's view of London. Although the title cartouche has been changed the engraver has not changed the tower of St Paul's Cathedral to its post-Fire state. Although it is intended to represent contemporary eighteenth century London it still shows the Elizabethan theatres in Bankside. Scouloudi records this as a variant of the view published by Antoine Aveline 1691-1743 in the early eighteenth century but she does not record the copy published by his father Pierre Aveline. The present example could therefore be a variant on either the father's or the son's. Scouloudi pp.59-60. unknown
1820ref. 3572n.p n.p c1820s 1820. A set of six hand-coloured lithographs on card showing the hand signals made to communicate from a distance when game shooting. Mounted on linen with two backed with marbled card so that these form the covers when folded. The folded set is housed in a marbled paper covered card slip-case. Each card measures 66x132mm and unfolded the whole is 200x265mm. The prints are in superb condition with the colours particularly fresh and bright. They are undated but the clothes are clearly of the Regency period and much is made of the newly fashionable top hat which was the headwear of choice for the sporting gentleman for most of the nineteenth century. In part they are instructional showing how to signal when a dog is required or when you want someone to "bring the powder and shot" but there is a gently humorous element as well particularly in the last card showing our hero holding his gun aloft. Balancing on the end of the barrels is his top hat. This elaborate manoeuvre means we are told "luncheon". Charming and the best part of the day. We have been unable to trace another set of these prints. � n.p c1820s hardcover

1879ref. 13448London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1879. First. Hardback. Very Good. A very good copy. Uncommon. "Erchomenon; or the Republic of Materialism is one of the earliest examples of dystopian fiction and a sleeper-awakes narrative in the tradition that Wells would later develop more famously. A Victorian English gentleman reading by his fireside in 1877 finds himself transported to a technologically advanced future London whose aerial cars compressed-air transport and vast urban density suggest a world of material progress. For Watson the technological progress is ironic backdrop to a darker argument. A society organized around French philosopher Auguste Comte's positivism and Darwin's natural selection having expelled God and Christian faith has produced something monstrous beneath its efficient surface. Children are separated from their parents at birth and raised collectively in state baby farms. Euthanasia is applied to the sick and infirm as a matter of routine. The first scene the protagonist witnesses on arrival is a doctor strangling an injured man on the street while the crowd watches with indifference. Marriage has been replaced by contract and Westminster Abbey by a Temple of Humanity. Christianity survives only in remote communities clinging to their old beliefs." Mostly Dystopian Books. A little rubbing to the edges softening to the spine tips and a slight lean. Small stamp to the title page and front endpaper has a corner missing. Top edge dusty.

1850ref. 9387Japan c. 1850. Manuscript map sheet size 48.2 x 73.7 cm ink on laid paper. The focus of the map is Toyama a significant sea-port in what was once Etchu province on Honshu. On stylistic grounds the map appears to date from the mid 19th century and the script is pre-Meji era. Toyama and the surrounding towns are shown in the yellow circles linked by red roads and regions are also named. It is unsigned on the back of the map is written 'Etchu Map'. Most of the text concerns distances a form of mileage table. There is a note top right which appears to indicate that the information in red is less certain than the information in black. Various other things are shown on the map: shrines and temples hot springs and a gate where travellers would have to show passports. Map unknown
