réf. 26009Three of the five from 1900 28 and 31 August and 4 September; and two from 1901 5 and 13 December. All on letterheads of the Shakespeare Memorial Stratford-upon-Avon. These five items are part of a collection of correspondence the rest is offered separately relating to a supposed portrait of a young Percy Bysshe Shelley by George Romney which was in a group of paintings donated to the Shakespeare Memorial Association by the appropriately-named anatomist Evan Marlett Boddy. The Shelley portrait is reproduced in ‘The Magazine of Art’ 1901 with the caption ‘Reputed portrait of Shelley as a boy by Romney. In the Shakespeare memorial Stratford-on-Avon.’ in an article on ‘Portraits of Shelley at the National Portrait Gallery’ p. 494. The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was founded through the efforts of local brewer Charles Edward Flower 1830-1892 after whose death its management was taken over by his brother Edgar Flower 1833-1903 also Chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. On Edgar’s death these duties fell to his son Archibald Flower 1865-1950 several times mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon. Between 1899 and 1901 Boddy donated at least twelve portraits to be hung in the Shakespeare Memorial reading room from the correspondence wood carvings also appear to have been donated. Details of the first seven portraits including the supposed Romney one of Shelley are contained in a letter in the separate collection of correspondence of 11 December 1899 from Boddy to the Shakespeare Memorial librarian the archaeologist William Salt Brassington 1859-1939. The paintings included supposed works by Henry Fuseli ‘The Fuseli Macbeth’ and Sir Peter Lely Nell Gwynne Henry Wyatt Coleridge one of Alexander Pope ‘attributed to Hogarth’ as well as a ‘Garrick portrait’ one of Nell Gwynne and a ‘Spanish Lady’. In 1916 Boddy demanded their return on discovering that the Archibald Flower had broken the condition that Boddy had arranged in 1900 with the then librarian W. S. Brassington: ‘The Portraits were to be hung together and remain so.’ The present five items comprise four in 12mo totaling 8pp; and one the first in 4to 1p the first part of which is typed and the latter part in autograph. All signed ‘W. S. Brassington’. All in good condition lightly aged. In the first letter 28 August 1900 he writes: ‘Dear Dr. Boddy / Following the investigations respecting the portrait of Shelley I find that the description on the frame of the picture is not quite correct. / “Percy Bysshe Shelley aged 13 by G. Romney.” Shelley was born in 1792 and in 1805 he was 13 years old. Romney died in 1802 and did not paint much for some years before his death. From a careful examination of the portrait it appears to me that the subject is a boy of about 8 or 9 years of age and consequently the portrait may have been painted by Romney in or about the year 1800. Next month I hope to meet Dr. Garnett Richard Garnett 1835-1906 at the meeting of the Library Association at Bristol and hear what he has to say on the subject; He is the greatest living authority on Shelley. I am also writing to the author of a new life of Romney and hope to find a record of the sittings in Romney’s notes.’ In the second letter 31 August 1900 he recaps the position adding: ‘The more I see of the picture the more I like it: it is beautiful and to me more interesting than any of the others: it would be a treasure for any gallery.’ In the third letter 4 September 1900 he comments on a photograph of the Shelley portrait presumably for the ‘Magazine of Art’ article which he considers excellent. On 5 December 1901 Brassington writes: ‘Since last I had the pleasure of seeing you Miss Florence May has been hunting up the bust of Shelley which Mrs Leigh Hunt made & gave to Thomas Carlyle. It has now been found in Scotland and the owner has kindly sent me for the Memorial an etching made from the bust by W. Bell-Scott. It appears that the present representatives of the Shelley family do not like the bust though it undoubtedly is a likeness and it has a resemblance to the Romney portrait which renders it all the more interesting to me.’ In the last of the five letters 13 December 1901 he write: ‘It is quite time as you say that misfortunes attend some poor souls even after death but I fancy the poor departed generally score in the end if they deserve to do so. In Shelley’s case this must be so & it is a score that his portrait should be here. I shall do my best to get the Leigh Hunt Bust placed beside the Romney Portrait before next April.’ There is a final reference to his ‘young friend Nupean’. Three of the five from 1900 (28 and 31 August, and 4 September); and two from 1901 (5 and 13 December). All on letterheads of th unknown

1922réf. 234471922. Salt Creek Haydite Plant album documenting shale extraction rotary-kiln aggregate production and water-control construction in Natrona County Wyoming 1922-1924 recording the first commercially manufactured lightweight structural concrete aggregate in the United States patented by Kansas City brickmaker Stephen J. Hayde in 1918 after he discovered that certain shales and clays could be expanded by rapid kiln-firing into a strong lightweight ceramic. Haydite transformed twentieth-century construction by reducing the dead load of concrete by roughly forty percent enabling taller buildings longer spans and the lightweight concrete masonry block industry that followed. The plant's location adjacent to the Salt Creek Oil Field then the largest producing oil field in the United States and the source of the Teapot Dome scandal that erupted in 1922 to 1923 ties the album directly to two converging industrial histories: the patented invention of expanded-shale aggregate and the height of Wyoming oil extraction. Photo archive of 91 silver gelatin photographs ranging from 2.5" x 4.5" to 5.5" x 3.5" mounted on album leaves with ink manuscript captions throughout bound in black leather with gilt-stamped cover reading "Salt Creek Construction" Natrona County Wyoming circa 1922-1924. The album's leather cover is inscribed "John B. Cleary Salt Creek Construction." It opens with exterior views of the Salt Creek Haydite Plant captioned "Const 1922 Com. Oper. Sept. 1" showing the main buildings the upper crusher and shale storage shed with stovepipe and yard-light and a loaded shale car at the trap of the shale pit. Successive pages document the production sequence by component: the upper crusher "jaw" with raw shale tumbling into the grates the ore feeder with belt-driven shafts the rotary kiln an Allis-Chalmers unit by the partially visible nameplate with a worker ascending its steel staircase the fire box of the kiln in close view the finish conveyor running to the haydite storage bin and piles of raw "hadite" being measured by two men in work clothes and wide-brimmed hats. A page is devoted to the Haydite Plant truck an FWD chain-drive with "Haydite Plant" lettered on its dump body and "M.B.Co. 81" stenciled above photographed both in service and at the loading dock. Named portraits include "W.B. Shilling Const. Engr." in a pith helmet and white shirt and a group portrait dated 1923 captioned "Mr. S.J. Hayde inventor of 'Haydite' Mrs. Hayde Mrs. C J.B.C. S.P. Boozell Plant Supt. John C." Later pages shift to a separate but related project: the "Cooling Pond No. 1 Sta. Salt Creek Field" under construction in the spring of 1923 with photographs of pile drivers drain tile staging at stations 960 to 000 workers troweling the concrete pond bottom and views captioned "Cooling Pond Finishing." A dam project follows including "Progress on Core Wall" views captioned "After Flood of Sept. '23 32000 S.F. Loss of 40' of Emb. & Core Wall" showing the breach riprap construction captioned "The Completed Project Before Storage Was Started" and a final image inscribed "Completed July 1 1924." A late page shows the failed spillway with the caption "Erosion of Spillway After Cut-Off Wall Failed" alongside a "Survey after Flood." Named figures include W.F. Edwards J.B.C. and "J.B.C. H.M. Pursel Contr." Stephen Hayde received U.S. Patent 1255878 for his rotary-kiln process of bloating shale into lightweight aggregate in 1918 and licensed the technology under the Haydite trade name beginning in 1920; the Salt Creek plant was among the earliest licensee operations and supplied aggregate for oilfield infrastructure at a time when the Salt Creek field's production peaked at over 32 million barrels in 1923. The cooling pond and dam pages document infrastructure built to handle produced water from the Salt Creek oilfield's No. 1 station capturing both the September 1923 flood failure with the specific 32000 square foot loss recorded on the leaf and the July 1924 rebuild. Overall in very good condition with expected toning foxing and edge wear to album leaves and mild silvering to several prints. The album constitutes a named dated and captioned firsthand record of early Haydite manufacturing and Salt Creek oilfield support construction anchored by an identified portrait of the inventor himself. unknown
