1854réf. 177799Japan. Circa1854. Black and white woodblock kawaraban printed on two joined sheets vertical central crease 41 x 63cm a little worming mainly on margins and repaired with paper on the reverse a little light browning but still presents very well. This kawaraban reports on how foreign visitors from the United States and Russia were treated in order to keep the peace and safety of God's country Japan. It reports that foreigners had arrived in Uraga this being the time of the second visit of Perry to Japan in 1854. The kawaraban goes on to list official gifts from the Shogunate to the President and his delegation members from the United States as well as to the Russian delegation. The gifts include lacquer boxes silk textiles as well as rice and chickens for the crew. The attractive black and white image at the foot of the report depicts a meeting in Yokohama at which a high ranking Tokugawa official received foreign visitors. The visitors are shown prostrating themselves in the open outdoor space in front of the building where the official sits. . unknown
réf. 24739‘P Place Portland Place London / June 24 1798.’. See his entry in the Oxford DNB and the History of Parliament ‘the foremost diplomat of his age’. It was Malmesbury who went to Brunswick to fetch the Prince Regent’s betrothed Princess Caroline and whom he asked to get him a brandy on his first encounter with her three years before the present letter was written. A legible script was clearly not a prerequisite for a successful diplomat as the handwriting of this missive is scandalously bad: practically on a level with that of Dr Parr. 1p 4to. On recto of the first leaf of a bifolium the verso of the second being franked with partial ‘HENLEY’ postmark and red wax seal ‘Henley June twenty four 1798 / Revd Mr Tawcence / Partridge / near Cranbourn / ’. The franking signature ‘Malmesbury’ appears between two lines in the customary bottom-left corner. Heavily aged and worn with short closed tear to letter and repaired long closed tear across leaf carrying address. The whole of the following transcription is tentative ‘Dear Sir / After consulting with Mr Wilt & with my bailiff they both agree that is not let for Portland sheep & that as plantation that it will be my to keep them from there so much wilder than there it is for that reason that I have to thank you & I beg you to thank your Father for the trouble you have taken in this subject which for for the present at least I have given you uselessly. / I should hope your affair will be settled to yr satisfaction. I am glad yr brother & are so well.’ See Image ‘P Place [Portland Place, London?] / June 24 1798.’ unknown
1980réf. 81760Moscow: Tushino Machine Building Plant 1980's. Pasteboard box 44cm x 23cm. Name printed in stark black and white onto a stereotypically minimalist Soviet box all the more susrprising considering this is a toy for children. Light inoffensive wear to the extremities a little rubbing and scuffing to the corners clean and complete. The verso of the box lid contains a plan of the contents with item numbers and small illustrations. Inside the box liner is moulded polystyrene with spaces for the individual components ranging from pressed steel baseboards and wall/hull sections to a set of rubber tyres woven string to simulate hawsers and cables pulleys connecting rods all the necessary tools a bag of nuts bolts and other connector pieces; all mass produced in a fashion that would have even a cursory modern day child safety inspection shutting down the whole plant and issuing a warning that if your children get this for Christmas you might need to count their fingers on Boxing Day. Miraculously complete as far as can be ascertained and with very little sign of use including the plans and construction book which is complex enough to count as aggressively educational and has the original warranty sheet with inspection stamps hand stamped and dated 1992 although the slip dates the set to the 1980's laid in. The introduction to the set in the 62 page instruction book states: "The 'Yunost' contruction set is a game designed in 1944 to introduce children aged 10-15 years to the principles of technical design and construction engineering. Each set of the 'Yunost' construction set contains the most intricate parts intnded for assembling models of various mechanisms machines and industrial structures." Clearly designed as a controlled Soviet alternative to Western toys like Erector Sets Meccano and the like the principles are identical whilst the delivery is rather more tailored to a deliberately educational USSR approach to entertaining children. "Nothing without purpose" seems to have been the guiding tenet of USSR toy production approaches which became notorious for taking an existing Western temptation like Meccano or Lego or GI-Joe and adapting them to the requirements of collective adherence to the improvement of the USSR. To Western eyes a lot of this material looks like the physical representation of the "We have McDonalds at home." meme but whilst Western toy design was aimed as much at keeping kids quiet and out of the way with a side of education the Soviet philosophy seems to have been 'if a child is building a toy crane then he should be learning the principles of load bearing members understanding pulleys and getting an idea of where crane operators fit into the process of industrial engineering' whilst this approach seems to take some of the joy out of play time it also contributed to the Western paranoia that the USSR was basically a cradle to grave enemy factory.
