rif. 8031London: 1863-69. No binding. Very Good. PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD OF SHIPBUILDING IN THE 1860s. Oblong quarto 235 x 310 mm. full contemporary calf gilt and blind panelled boards with ornate gilt corner feature rebacked preserving original spine gilt ruled raised bands with ornate gilt pattern gilt edged. With 89 albumen photographic prints. A fascinating PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD OF SHIPBUILDING IN THE 1860s at the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company. They cover the period 1863-69 and likely record all of the significant work undertaken in this period. The Thames Iron Works were the largest shipbuilder on the river Thames. Its shipyard was located at the mouth of Bow Creek in the east end of London. Although principally a shipbuilder it expanded into civil engineering supplying materials for Isambard Kingdom Brunel marine engines cranes electrical engineering and even later into motor cars. Founded in 1837 the company was struggling until in 1857 Peter Rolt MP for Greenwich merchant and descendant of the Pett shipbuilding family took control. At the time of the earliest photographs in this album the huge site had the capacity to build 25000 tons of warships and 10000 tons of mail steamers. It is most famous for constructing HMS 'Warrior' the world's first iron hulled armour-plated warship. Launched on 29 December 1860 it overnight rendered obsolete all existing warships worldwide. It was at the time the world's largest. Following the success of HMS 'Warrior' and HMS 'Minotaur' photographed orders arrived from navies all over the world. The Company also built the Prussian Navy's first iron-hulled warship the SMS 'König Wilhelm I' photographed in 1868. It is interesting to note also that the 1860s was the decade of considerable loss of shipping which opened a huge debate led by Samuel Plimsoll MP on load lines on vessels. Many of the vessels photographed already show load lines following the recommendations of Lloyd register known as 'Lloyd's Rule'. The majority of the photographs feature the construction of vessels but towards the end particularly there are images of the various buildings Yards and Docks. There are also four of ship models a cross section a lighthouse destined for the West Indies a model steam engine six of plant works and three of paintings. Below is a list of the vessels illustrated which can be readily identified: RUS 'Pervenetz' Imperial Russian Navy 1863 'Alexandra' HMS 'Minotaur' Royal Navy 1863. This was the longest single-screw warship ever built HMS 'Valiant' Royal Navy 1863 'Napoleon III' 1863 'Izzeddin' paddle steamer 1864 'Nyanza' Peninsular and Oriental Company's Paddle Wheel Steamer 1864 'Sultan Mahmoud' Turkish Frigate 1865 'Charkieh' 1865 'Tanjore' Peninsular and Oriental Company's 1865 SNS 'Vitoria' Spanish Navy 1865 'Earl de Grey and Ripon' 1866 HMS 'Waterwitch' 1866.

Half of the first page of the newspaper is devoted to the disagreement Monsieur Edward Höcknen, who was ex-director of the Turkish Anatolian - Baghdad Railways. The caricature shows that Monsieur Höcknen stops the train with his giant arms. According to the news on the newspaper, this international question is solved by Zekâi Bey who was Aydin muavini. Tevhîd-i Efkâr was a daily political newspaper published between 15 June 1921 and 6 March 1925. Its editor-in-chief was Velid Ebüzziya, (1884-1945). It was published in Istanbul during the Turkish War of Independence, (1919-1922), and supported the War of Independence. But after the proclamation of the Republic, he started an intense criticism campaign. Thereupon, 'Yeni gün' [i.e. New Day in Anatolia], Hakimiyet-i Milliye newspapers started opposition to the Istanbul press and Tevhid-i Efkar. With the approval of the three-point Takrir-i Sükûn Law on 4 March 1925, newspapers such as Tevhid-i Efkâr, Istiklal, Son Telgraf, and Tanin, which were published in Istanbul, and the magazine Sebilürresad were closed.

1700rif. 398AG1700. Paris c. 1700. Original copper engraved map. 16 cm wide x 13.2 cm high. Mounted on paper. Very good condition. From a wonderful collection of Maps from an old english library South Shields - with a tiny library stamp to the mounting paper The stamp is NOT on the Map. Nicolas de Fer 164625 October 1720 was a French cartographer and geographer. De Fer was the youngest of three sons of Antoine de Fer who was also a cartographer. When he was 12 he became the apprentice of Parisian engraver Louis Spirinx and made his first map of the Canal du Midi at the age of 23. After the death of his father in June 1673 his mother Geneviève initially took over the map making company which had begun to decline. She passed it and the atelier called Quai de L'Horloge on to Nicolas in 1687 because of her old age. De Fer was so successful at improving the firm that in 1690 he became the official geographer to Louis Dauphin of France. With support from the Spanish and French Royal Families de Fer also became official geographer for Philip V and Louis XIV the kings of Spain and France respectively. Because of this his maps became Bourbon propaganda endorsing French King Louis XIV. His business flourished producing town plans atlases wall maps and more than 600 sheet maps. He made maps of places in Europe and North America including New Spain places fortified by Vauban the Low Countries and the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1698 de Fer published a map of North America which included a depiction of beavers building dams near Niagara Falls. Seventeen years later Herman Moll published a map which plagiarized elements of de Fer's work particularly the beaver scene. It became known as the "Beaver map". De Fer became the official geographer for His Catholic Majesty in 1720. Two of his sons-in-law Guillaume Danet and Jaques-François Bénard continued the company after de Fer's death on 25 October of that year until around 1760. Wikipedia unknown
