Four colour photo-lithographic maps, scarce, largest 420 x 450mm, 16¼ x 17¾". Folded as issued.
Four maps relating to the first year of the Russo-Japanese war (1904-5), which, to everyone's surprise, Russia lost badly. Fought because of both nations' expansionist policies in Manchuria and Korea, it was the first great war of the 20th century and saw the use of new technology and tactics including torpedo boats, submarines and mine-laying. The first map shows the Japanese blockage of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur, showing the sites of mines and their victims on both sides. The second & third maps show the battles of Te-li-Ssu and Nanshan, during the Russian attempt to break the Port Arthur blockade by land, botched by the inept commanders. The fourth map shows the small-scale Battle of Tashihchiao for control of an important junction between the main line on the South Manchurian Railway and a spur which led to the old treaty port of Yingkou, needed by the Japanese for the movement of troops, again a Japanese victory.

To be had of Picot No.16 Strand. London & Rutherford Edinburgh.
Engraving 520 x 405mm
John Knox began the Scottish Reformation from grass-roots level with a sermon against 'idolatry' in the burgh kirk of St. John the Baptist in 1559. Oliver Cromwell's Parliamentarians, fresh from victory in the English Civil War, came to Perth. Cromwell established a fortified citadel on the South Inch (a large park south of the town) in 1652, one of five built around Scotland at this time to overawe and hold down the country. Perth's hospital, bridge and several dozen houses were demolished to provide building materials for this fort. Even graveslabs from the Greyfriars cemetery were used. It was given to the town in 1661 not long after Cromwell's death, and began almost immediately to be dismantled. The ditch, originally filled with water from the Tay, was still traceable in the late 18th century, but there are now no visible remains. The restoration of Charles II was not without incident, and with the Act of Settlement, came the Jacobite uprisings, to which Perth was supportive. The town was occupied by Jacobite supporters thrice in total (1689, 1715 and 1745). The Royal Burgh of Perth, sitting on the banks of the River Tay, increased with prestige throughout the 18th Century. In 1760, Perth Academy was founded, and major industry came to the town, now with a population of 15,000. Linen, leather, bleached products and whisky were its major exports, although the town had been a key port for centuries.

A portrait, seated, in profile to the right, of John Rutter, one of the founders of the Liverpool Medical Institution. Liverpool Medical Institution is one of the oldest medical societies in the world, tracing its origins to the founding of the Liverpool Medical Library in 1779. For 50 years the Liverpool Medical Library was situated variously at the Liverpool Infirmary on Shaw's Brow, and the Liverpool Dispensary in Church Street. In the 1830s a campaign masterminded by Dr John Rutter, led to the raising of sufficient funds to erect the present building, which was opened in May 1837.
