1853ref. 168026London: Printed by George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode published by Parker Furnivall and Parker 1853. Smartly presented history of the hard-fighting 39th First and most desirable edition; subsequent printings were published with inferior unsigned wood-engraved variants of the original plates. The exact process by which copies of Cannon's histories came to be bound in this handsome style generally termed "presentation" - very occasionally signed by Smith of Long Acre - is not known. "Reputedly William IV proposed that a series of regimental histories should be compiled whereby the general public could be apprised of the distinguished services rendered by the regiments of the British army. the work of compilation was entrusted by royal warrant to Cannon principal clerk of the adjutant-general's office. He started immediately and the first volume to be published was a history of the Life Guards in 1837. Cannon's warrant expired on the death of William IV but was renewed on Victoria's accession to the throne. Unfortunately the official funding was not maintained and Cannon endeavoured to finance the project from his own pocket consequently running into serious pecuniary difficulties. Cannon's volumes were authoritative and readable well produced and often well illustrated. If somewhat lacking in the human interest expected of modern historians Cannon nevertheless set a standard for succeeding regimental historians to emulate" ODNB. The Dorsets raised in 1689 and reformed in 1702 fought in Spain and Portugal during the War of the Spanish Succession; during the 18th century they were at the siege of Gibraltar from whence the regiment's badge and in 1754 were the first British Army unit deployed to India hence their motto "Primus in India" and fought at Plassey. In 1809 they were sent to Spain fighting at Wellington's signal victories at Talavera Bussaco Badajoz Albuera and Vittoria. From 1832 a 13-year posting to India saw them taking part in the Coorg and Gwalior campaigns. The history cuts off before their embarkation for the Crimea in 1854. Octavo 210 x 123 mm. Engraved series title 2 hand-coloured lithographic plates heightened with gum arabic both by Madeley showing the regimental colours and badge and a group of three officers in uniform of the 1840s. Contemporary red morocco "presentation binding" spine gilt lettered direct five raised bands gilt royal crest crowned lion statant surmounting imperial crown at head foliate devices to other compartments St George and dragon at foot sides with panel of thick and thin gilt fillets enclosing an ornamental panel centre tool of the royal arms title above and dates below foliate edge roll and turn-ins recent yellow surface-paper endpapers gilt edges.

ref. 152444Photograph of the first aircraft to break the sound barrier. Glossy black-and-white photograph of the Bell X-1 rocket-powered aircraft nicknamed "Glamorous Glennis" in flight. Boldly signed by eight of the program's test pilots: Chuck Yeager Frank "Pete" Everest Chalmers "Slick" Goodlin Bob Champine with "NACA X-1 pilot 1950" John H. Griffith Gus Lundquist Joe Cannon and Scott Crossfield. In fine condition. The piece measures 10 inches by 8 inches. Rare and desirable. The Bell X-1 was a rocket engine-powered aircraft designated originally as the XS-1 and was a joint National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics-U.S. Army Air Forces-U.S. Air Force supersonic research project built by Bell Aircraft. Conceived during 1944 and designed and built in 1945 it achieved a speed of nearly 1000 miles per hour 1600 km/h in 1948. A derivative of this same design the Bell X-1A having greater fuel capacity and hence longer rocket burning time exceeded 1600 miles per hour 2600 km/h in 1954. The X-1 piloted by Chuck Yeager was the first manned airplane to exceed the speed of sound in level flight and was the first of the X-planes a series of American experimental rocket planes and non-rocket planes designated for testing of new technologies and often kept secret. unknown
