réf. 48671presented to the Lords States Generall of the united Provinces in defence of the said Company touching the bloudy proceedings against the English Merchants executed at Amboyna. Together with the Acts of the Processe against the sayd English and the Reply of the English East India Company to the said Remonstrance and Defence. Published by Authority. London : printed by John Dawson for the East India Company 1632. Three parts in one volume small quarto modern panelled calf in period style spine in compartments with gilt decoration and lettering; pp. 8 29 1 blank; 2 separate title-leaf 38; 47; 1; with a full-page woodcut depicting the torture of one of the English merchants at Ambon bound in at the end of the preliminaries in effect as a frontispiece to the first part; main title with woodcut armorial device woodcut initials head- and tailpieces; some mild browning a fine copy. Together the three parts of this work provide a summarised account of the so-called Amboyna or Ambon massacre a watershed event that occurred at a time of growing rivalry between the English and Dutch East India Companies over control of the lucrative spice trade. In early 1623 at the Dutch garrison of Fort Victoria on the island of Amboyna in the Moluccas the local Dutch governor ordered the arrest of ten English merchants suspected of plotting to take over the garrison; they confessed under torture and were executed in February 1623. The English reacted by branding the event a massacre. This volume is sometimes found bound with another that was published in London the same year which also presents the controversy from an English perspective A True Relation of the Unjust Cruell and Barbarous Proceedings against the English at Amboyna in the East-Indies by the Netherlandish Governor and Councell there. Both publications helped fuel a rising tide of anti-Dutch sentiment; it would not be long before animosity would give way to open hostility with the outbreak of the First Anglo-Dutch War in 1652.

1822réf. 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

1796réf. ABC_49403Various places including Saudi Arabia and Yemen 1796. Contemporary or slightly later half black morocco marbled boards. Small folio ca. 19 x 30.5 cm. English manuscript on watermarked paper. With a loosely inserted manuscript map titled A Chart shewing the Track of HMS Ship Myrtle of the Bay of Biscay and Portugal and a hand-coloured manuscript signal chart. A detailed description of the voyage of the East India company vessel the Swift from 1794-1795 featuring visits to both Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Twelve pages of observations are dedicated to Jeddah alone witnessed at the height of the influx of pilgrims during the Hajj followed by a description of Mocha also Mokha in Yemen. Other ports visited include those of Brazil South Africa India the Nicobar Islands Malaysia and Sri Lanka.Jeddah the author says "has a very pleasant appearance as you approach it from the sea . The houses are all of stone of the coral kind." However as the Swift had arrived in the midst of the Hajj and its crew found provisions difficult to acquire as thousands of pilgrims poured into Jeddah: "It is astonishing the number of Mahometans arriving from all parts of the world to attend the yearly ceremony at Mecca called Hadgi from thence to Medina." Several accounts are given of particular Muslim practices through occasionally somewhat confused British eyes: "When near Geddah all the Pilgrims going their first journey altered their dress assuming what is called the Ihhram a piece of linnen ! which is wrapped round the loins leaving the rest of the body naked in this state they proceed through the rest of the pilgrimage till they have visited the Kaaba at Mecca; the other garment they are then suffered to wear is a cloth of linen over their shoulders. . Some of them carry a trade of muslins and some other little articles which if they are not robbed by the Bedouins wild Arabs they make out tolerably well . The landing of the pilgrims with their wives and household utensils would have been an excellent view for the inimitable Hogarth."The Swift appears to be one of the ships which accompanied the Suffolk a 64-gun ship to escort a convoy to India under the command of Captain Peter Rainier 1741-1808 later Admiral of the Blue and namesake of Mount Rainier. This particular voyage was in itself notable as a trial for the implementation of a citrus diet for sailors to ward off scurvy which was ultimately successful and became Admiralty policy the following year. On the first page of the account we find the following: "The beer being expended ordered the Company to be served wine mixed with 1oz of sugar and oz of lemon juice to every pint it was very nice tipple."The boards show mild traces of use. With a few small smudges on some of the leaves. Otherwise in excellent condition. hardcover
1933réf. ABC_45905Cambridge Mumbai New Delhi: Scott & Wilkinson Clifton & Co Hamilton Studios and Kinsey Bros. 1933. Oblong half morocco photograph album by W. Johnson & sons London. With 105 photographs mounted in the album ranging from 16 x 28 cm to 4 x 6 cm 2 photographs loosely inserted and a watercolour mounted at the back 11.5 x 21 cm. Unique photograph album showcasing the vigorous "fox" hunting scene in British India in the early 1930s particularly around Delhi. Most of the photographs show members of the British upper class in India often mounted on horses or posing for a group photograph and accompanied by hounds. The album contains no titles captions or inscriptions and the photographs do not seem to figure recurring individuals which suggests that it was probably compiled to commemorate the hunting and or riding club and its activities in the early 1930s. Numerous photographs show groups of mostly men posing with hounds at lunches and possibly a hunt ball or mounted on horses at jumping events and even a few cup trophies. The very first photograph is by Scott & Wilkinson in Cambridge active before 1933 and was therefore probably taken in England. The other inscribed photographs are by Clifton & Co. and Hamilton Studios from Bombay and Kinsey Bros. which started in New Delhi in 1935.British life in India mirrored life in native Britain and included popular equestrian activities such as hunting. Starting in the second half of the 19th century foxhounds were imported from Britain and subsequently bred in India. Regiments and brigades kept their own packs but at the beginning of the 20th century these had morphed into local hunts. Hounds were kept at over 12 hunting clubs which included Delhi Meerut Narbuda Vale Jaora Poona Bombay Bangalore Ooty Madras Lahore Quetta Peshawar and Karachi. Although the Indian silver fox was sometimes hunted the most common prey was the golden jackal.A different type of hunting popular in India was pig sticking: the chase of a wild boar on horseback with the spear. Several photographs in the album show pig sticking parties either posing or in action and sometimes accompanied by spectators on elephants. In contrast to the jackal-hunt parties the pigstick groups are composed of more military looking men and also include Indian men as opposed to the British-only hound groups.Most photographs show the area around Delhi and include a hunt near Shah Alam's Tomb. A photograph of this event is loosely inserted in the album and dated 1933/34 on the back. Other photographs show the Rashtrapati Bhavan one group shows the Earl later Marquess of Willingdon India's Governor-General from 1931 to 1936. Two images show the monumental Gateway of India completed in 1924 in Bombay Mumbai which can also be seen in an aerial photograph. Several photographs show what is probably the airfield at Karachi as it shows two airplanes loading mail on apparently the first voyage of the Indian Transcontinental Airways. Imperial Airways liner "Hanno" departing from Croydon had left for Karachi on 1 July 1933 via Bahrain and Sharjah. In Karachi the cargo was transferred to the Transcontinental airliner "Arethusa" as can be seen on the photographs.It is unclear why only half of the album was used. It is possible the compiler transferred to Kut in British Mesopotamia Kut al-Imara in modern Iraq. A watercolour on the final page of the album is captioned "A river bank north of Kut".Binding slightly rubbed and worn at the edges. Album leaves foxed throughout but most of the photographs in very good condition. The paper of the large photograph of the group near Shah Alam's Tomb is heavily damaged at the top and left side but the image itself is undamaged. A unique collection of British-Indian hunting photographs in very good condition.l Cf.

1730réf. ABC_47423Augsburg 1730. 86 x 59 cm. Copperplate engraving. A grand engraving commemorating the achievements of the August Protestant Church in India features various scenes and elements. In the background there are mountains palm trees houses and people including a Chinese person. The foreground shows deciduous and palm trees with a lit grotto holding an idol inscribed with "Brama". In front of the grotto an evangelical missionary preaches to a large congregation of natives while holding a book of music in his left hand and pointing to Brama with his right hand. The missionary wears a turban a priest's cloak and has flappers. The audience under the hill is depicted in interesting groups with some closer to us appearing larger and clearer. At the bottom of the engraving there is an art altar with several books including the "Biblia Malabarica" "Catechism Malabaricus" and the hymnal "Liber Cantion. Malabar." The engraving was made by the German engraver painter draughtsman and art publisher Johann Elias Ridinger 1698-1767. He trained in Ulm and Augsburg under Christoph Resch and Johann Falch and learned engraving from Georg Philipp Rugendas. Ridinger later spent three years in Regensburg where he developed his style through coursing and visits to the riding school. His ornamental works show Rococo stylistic tendencies and he founded his own publishing house in Augsburg. His precise and tasteful drawings were highly regarded and transferred to decoration porcelain and ceramics.With two minor tears one partly repaired the other one not affecting the engraving.
