Dying Buffalo Bull, in Snow Drift. No.17.
Catlin del._Mc.Gahey lith. Day & Haghe Lith.rs to the Queen.
(From Catlins N.A. Indian Collection.) [London: Geo. Catlin, 1844.]
Lithograph with hand colour. 430 x 579mm (17 x 22¾").
Indians hunting bison in a bleak snowy landscape. "In this view the reader is introduced to the optimum of dreariness and severity which the hunters of the northern prairies have to contend with in the depths of winter. An intensely cold day, and dry and sand-like snow three or four feet in depth, drifting before the wind, and a herd of buffaloes labouring to plough their way through it, whilst they are urged on by a party of Indians on snow-shoes, deeply clad in furs, and dealing death to them with their spears. The dying bull in the foreground of this picture, and that in the preceding plate, were carefully sketched by my own hand whilst the animals were thus struggling with death; and I therefore confidently offer them as faithful delineations of their forms and looks, as well as fit and impressive subjects for contemplation for those who may ever have the time, and feel disposed to sympathize with the cruel destruction and extinction of this useful and noble animal.” An exhibition of Catlin's 'American Indian Portraits' is currently on display at the National Portrait Gallery. George Catlin (1796-1872) was a Pennsylvanian-born artist who made five trips to the western United States to document the Native American peoples and their way of life. From Catlin's "North American Indian Portfolio".

Thomas Dyke Acland. Praesenti tibi Maturos Largimur Honores.
[n.d. c.1870.]
Photograph. 405 x 267mm. 16 x 10½". Foxing.
This statue was created by E.B. Stephens (1815-1882) in 1861. Following a vicious northerly gale in 1930, the staute sustained some damage, and was thus removed to a more secure area in the park. It is in the Northernhay Gardens in Exeter, Devon. Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 10th Baronet (1787-1871) was a British politician. He was a Tory MP for Devon over a period of 45 years, and following his election to Parliament in 1812 he adopted a more liberal line than his compatriots. He stayed as MP for Devonshire until 1831, where from 1831 to 1857 he sat for North Devon.

[n.d. c.1908.]
Etching. Plate 110 x 110mm. 4¼ x 4¼".
This etching is one of the very few produced over four years by the Detmold twins for distribution at Christmas. This impression is double initalled for both brothers and signed in pencil by Edward. The brothers' individual monograms appear upper left and right in the etching. Edward supervised and edition of the etchings in a very limited number of proofs in 1920. An Eagle with wings spread stands on a branch, below is a bag with 'amitié ' written on it. Edward Julius Detmold (1883-1957) was twin brother to Charles Maurice Detmold (1883-1908). The pair were among the artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration. They worked together making sketches at the Zoological Gardens and exhibited together from the age of fourteen. After the death of Charles in 1908, Edward became one of the best Edwardian animal illustrators, known for his subtle placement of animals within their natural environment.

A view of the town of Villanova, which was badly damaged by the Calabrian earthquakes of February and March 1793. Pompeo Schiantarelli (1746-1802/5), an architect, led a team from Neapolitan Academy of Science and Letters to record the devastation, which killed 35,000 people in the region. He also helped with the rebuilding efforts, planning two towns, Polistena and Mileto. Schianarellu published his account as 'Istoria de' fenomeni del tremoto avvenuto nelle Calabrie e nel Valdemone nell'anno 1783' (Account of the Effects of the Earthquake in Calabria in 1783). The plates are very similar in style to those in William Hamilton's study of volcanoes, 'Campi Phlegraei', 1776-9, also published in Naples.

A collection of plates from the 'Voyage à la côte orientale d'Afrique exécuté pendant les années 1846, 1847 et 1848 par le brick Le Ducouëdic sous le commandement de M. Guillain'. Charles Guillain (1808-75) was sent to explore commercial prospects down the east coast of Africa, dealing with the Omani Arabs who controlled the coast from the Horn south to Zanzibar. He also recorded the geography, hydrography and the ethnology of these lands, making great use of an early camera: he persuaded the local tribesmen and women to pose for him, creating some of the oldest photographic portraits of Africans. His daguerreotypes, now in the Quai Branly Museum in Paris, have been called 'incunabula in the history of photography'. The eighteen portrait plates, containing over 50 separate photographs, include Abyssinians, Somalis, Swahili, and Omani and Zanzibar Arabs. The maps include double-page chart the Indian Ocean and the island of Mombasa, and single-page charts of Zanzibar and the environs of Mombasa.
