[Bukhara] The Daster Khanjee.
Mirza Abdul Wahab del.t. Standidge & Co lith.
London: J.W. Parker, c.1845.]
Lithograph. Sheet 220 x 135mm (8¾ x 5¼").
A kneeling Bukharan, the keeper of the Daster Khan (Persian for a caravanserai), a plate from Rev. Joseph Wolff's ''Narrative of a mission to Bokhara, in the years 1843-1845, to ascertain the fate of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly''. Wolff (1795-1862) was a German Jew who joined the Church of England, becoming a missionary. He went to Bukhara to find out what had happened to two British army officers, who had disappeared playing 'The Great Game' in Central Asia. He discovered they had been executed as spies and nearly met the same fate, only escaping because the Emir found Wolff's canonical robes so ridiculous. Wolff's opinion of Khanjee was low: in the précis to Chapter XIII is ''The Dastar Khanjee a Disgrace to Manhood''.

[Nuremberg flood of 1784] Der durch Nürnberg, fliesende Pegniz Flus, wie selbiger im Jahr 1784. von 27. bis 28. Februar...
Nach der Natur gezeschen et und gestochen von J.L. Stahl Norb. 1784.
Zu finden beÿ E.C. Grattenaur in Nürnberg [n.d., c.1784].
Rare etching. Sheet 265 x 465mm (10 ½ x 18¼"). Trimmed to plate, creased, with some wear.
In Feburary 1784 the Pegnitz River flooded the city of Nuremberg, sweeping away houses. It was caused by the eruption of the Iclandic volcano Laki, not only spewing out basalt lava but also belching clouds of hydrofluoric acid and sulfur dioxide compounds into the air. The resulting clouds caused a mini ice-age, causing heavy snow falls and hail large enough to kill cattle in Europe and the Mississippi to freeze at New Orleans. The thaw of the extra snow in the spring caused floods throughout Europe. This view of the devastation was drawn by the engraver Johann Ludwig Stahl (1759-1818) who witnessed the catastrophe.
