Christian Frederick Hausserman, Esquire, from Wirtemberg, is listed in the records as a member too, joining on 6 April 1818. A letter from Jenner to C. F. Hausserman, Esq, Ebley near Stroud, [no date], is published in Letters of Edward Jenner and Other Documents concerning the History of Vaccination (Johns Hopkins University, 1983). The editor, Genevieve Miller, says that 'Although Hausserman's identity has not been discovered, this letter leads one to speculate that he was a local surgeon' (p. 113).'My dear Sir,After so long an acquaintance you must have discover'd that I am a very impatient sort of a Gentleman. You will not be surpris'd therefore at my soliciting you to furnish me as speedily as you can, with the Ebley Case of Tic Doulereaux [trigeminal neuralgia]. I hope this may find you at home & that you will take up a bit of paper & give me a reply with as much speed as you can. Even as far as it went, until the unfortunate interference of Dr. D-- was quite enough to convince me of the power of the Pustule in regulating some of those movements of the Brain which are deranged & assume a wrong action. [This idea was developed in Jenner's pamphlet, A Letter to Charles Henry Parry … on the Influence of Artificial Eruptions (London, 1822).]I never hear anything of Mr. Cross, which is vexatious. A Pamphlet is order'd for him from Town, and if you see Mr. Jones, tell him I shall send him one the first opportunity. Great news today from Ebley House - It [tatar emetic applied exterior] seems to have had a good effect on poor Edward, as he reports himself better. I hope he will steadily persevere in a plan of diet that will prove duly nutritious without heating the Brain. With best wishes Yours my dear Sir very truly, Edw. Jenner'One of the celebrations taking place on the bicentenary of Edward Jenner's death, 26 January 2023, will be the unveiling of a new blue plaque in his honour at The Old School, Park Lane, Cirencester.

The business was an immediate success and by 1905 the company employed 750 employees and was producing 450,000 watches.During the late 1920s, it designed radical new styles of timepiece such as this example, “La Captive”, and a 'Belt-Watch', both of which were considered completely new concepts. By this time, there were already five Tavannes Watch Company factories in Switzerland and it had become the fourth largest watch manufacturer in the world, producing over 4,000 watches a day.After the Second World War, and with over 300 patents obtained for mechanical and automatic timepieces, Tavannes produced movements for most of the famous Swiss brands including Patek Philippe, Zenith and Jaeger LeCoultre. Many of these innovations are still used today.In 2008 the company was relaunched, and in 2018 a new ‘La Captive Belt Watch’ was announced. The new design allows the timepiece to be worn as a wrist watch, golf belt watch or a desk watch, all inspired by the history and design of this original timepiece.

Apparently, as a young man, he was caught in flagrante with a noblewoman, whose husband punished him by tying him naked to a wild horse before setting them free to be hunted down by wild animals. Before the horse finally collapsed, Mazeppa reached the Cossacks and eventually became their military leader.The legend was of interest to the English poet Lord Byron, whose Mazeppa (1819) helped to popularise the legend. His poem inspired many paintings, particularly by the French Romantics, and a theatrical version of the story soon appeared.Victor Hugo, inspired by the French paintings, composed "Mazeppa", one of the major pieces in Les Orientales (1829).Depictions in art usually feature the hero being strapped to the horse, with or without pursuing wolves, and the eventual collapse of the horse. The cover of this example is typical of this depiction.(There is actually no historical evidence to support the legend that Mazeppa was exiled from Poland because of a love affair, nor that he was punished by being strapped to a wild horse.)Overall in good condition. Some minor surface scratches as to be expected. Hinge unstrained and cover opens and closes positively. Hallmarks and engravings clear and readable.
