Best.-Nr. PJH56343Ligeia 2004. Ownership Signature of Roger Cardinal Near Fine in publishers decorated wrappers. Illustrated throughout. 1st edition of Specific Thematic Edition Numbers 53 to 56 dedicated to Art Brut. Roger Cardinal was one of Britains most distinguished art historians best known for defining what is generally known as Outsider Art - that is art by people with no formal training. He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba Canada subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship. Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style. His eloquent percipient writings include several books on a wide range of subjects such as Outsider Art 1972 German Romantics in Context 1975 Figures of Reality 1981 Expressionism 1984 The Landscape Vision of Paul Nash 1989 The Cultures of Collecting 1994 and Kurt Schwitters 2011. He also acted as a curator and was a regular contributor to art-historical publications. CardinalÕs interest in art lay in its margins - the neurodiverse psychotic uneducated autistic self-taught and ÔotherÕ. His fascination with artists such as the violently psychotic Adolf Wlfli lay in their creativity rather than in the sensationalism of their lives. Certainly it did not lie in the resale value of their work. That outsider art should have its own multimillion-dollar annual fair in New York and specialist departments at ChristieÕs auctioneers ran quite contrary to CardinalÕs thinking. Ligeia 2004 unknown

1822Best.-Nr. ABC_49460Aboard 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
1913Best.-Nr. 1266351913. Ireland: June 16-18 1913. Small lined notebook 11x17.5 cm 56 pp. orange card covers titled by hand spine reinforced with tape. Approx. 28 pages filled with neat ink manuscript entries illustrated with four small original sepia photos and a hand-drawn folded map tipped to inside of front cover. Covers a little worn contents age-toned but entirely legible. § A delightfully detailed record of an amusingly rushed school trip to Ireland made by an English schoolboy in 1913. The boys and several masters departed from Stonehouse in Gloucestershire it seems likely they attended Wycliffe College prep school and travelled by train to Fishguard in Wales and from there by boat to Rosslare Harbour in Country Wexford Ireland. Then by train char-a-banc a governess cart ponies and finally boats they tore across the south of Ireland to Killarney and back in a single day. The dutiful author of the journal prepares for the trip with several lists: "General time-table" "List of required articles" including "change of socks.cup soup-plate. rug if room" "Things to be noticed" Waterford Harbour Mountains Lakes Cattle Grazing. and a very thorough plan for "Meals" cornflakes chocolate bananas squashed fly biscuits. The journal itself is neatly written and full of detail particularly of the various vehicles Irish trains get a thorough review and his glimpses of "real Ireland". Four small mounted photos show a bridge in Kerry viewed from a boat Ross Castle "A Jaunting Bar" a kind of horse-drawn carriage and happily "the Author" who appears to be in his early teens. The star of the journal is a large folding map of the trip carefully hand-drawn and keyed and mounted inside the front cover. unknown
