MINING and CORNWALL INTEREST. 'Spassky Photo Album.' 18 photos of the smelter and works at the Spassky Copper Mine, Kazakhstan between 1910 and 1918. These appear to have survived the Russian revolution, the 1919 civil war and the 'Cornish' owner's remarkable and harrowing escape from the Red Army and Siberia. Mounted in a Kodak album. The photos are presumably printed in Russia, some bearing the text '???????? ???????? – POCZTÓWKA – CARTE POSTALE' on the reverse. The album has descriptions written in ink. The reverse of some of the photos have notes in pencil. In very faint pencil on the inside cover is the name thought to be H.C. Robson. His story is taken from the book 'In the Kirghiz Steppes', J.W. Wardell, 1961: an account of the author's time at Spassky between 1914 and 1919. This, with the faint name, tends to support the album belonged to Robson. Spassky Copper Mine Ltd, was a British company mining copper on the Kirgiz steppes of southern Siberia (today: the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan). Harold C. Robson 'from Cornwall', he is known to have been at Spassky before 1914 employed as a smelter assistant. In 1916 he married Miss Florence May Townley who arrived in Spassky in September 1915 as the companion of the wife of the general manager (J.R. Horsley from England). In 1917 they had a son Michael. Robson was promoted to smelter superintendent (ie: manager) by 1918. Before the First World War the growth of heavy industries in Russia drew much British capital and personnel to the country. From 1914 the smelter and ore dressing plant at Spassky was modernised, designed by consulting metallurgical engineers Walter G. Perkins of London. Following the Revolution, the Spassky Copper Mines were nationalised on 27 March 1918. In increasingly fraught times the British staff of 10 staff, 5 women and 7 children prepared to leave Spassky. To raise finance for their journeys, and the travel light, they sold their surplus effects. They planned to travel to Petropavlovsk by horse and cart (510 miles, 5 days); and then west by train to Moscow; thence to Archangel and then by ship back to England. Robson sent his wife and child ahead of him, they arrived in Petropavlovsk on 28 May, he was to follow shortly. The town was controlled by the ill-disciplined Red Guard, the train station was controlled by the Czechs. On the 30 May, amongst much violence the town fell to the advancing Cossacks and White Guard. Robson arrived on the 4 June. Amongst many other refugees, there were not some 20 British isolated in squalid, infested conditions in Petropavlovsk. They were cut-off for 15 weeks. The children contracted whooping cough, scarlet fever and dysentery. Sadly their son, 1 year old Michael Robson, died of whooping cough. Early in July the Cossacks reached, and retook control of Spassky. The British staff were encouraged to return to continue producing copper. Before the end of the month the untrammelled staff had returned. Robson and wife returned in late August 1918. The operations were found to have been badly neglected, damaged and the mine flooded. With difficulty the operations were brought back into production. Apart from work, there was little the staff and families could do: they had sold most of their chattels before evacuating to Petropavlovsk. Basic supplies were difficult to come by. By mid 1919 the Red Army was increasing its control, the escape route to the west was now cut-off. On 21 July 1919 the British Consul advised the British to evacuate Spassky. The plan was to head east, and to avoid Red sympathisers they avoided villages and towns, then to escape by sea through Vladivostok or Shanghai. Robson and his wife planned to leave on 8 August, but illness prevented this. The party that left two days earlier arrived in Vladivostok on 2 September after travelling by cart and train, a distance of over 4,000 miles. The Robsons caught up with them and decided to try and get passage to Canada. The other party left for Shanghai on 28 September eventually arriving back in Southampton 26 November 1919 some 16 weeks after leaving Spassky. Shipping records show that the Robsons (and infant!) sailed on the ship 'Monteagle' arriving in Vancouver on 16 November 1919, they were destined for London. Travelling with them were fellow Spassky employees Humphry Quick (the assistant mine superintendent) destined for St Ives, Cornwall and Christopher George Dobby (secretary) destined for London. Those that evacuated Spassky in August 1919: Dobby C G (English, secretary from Sep 1915; Harbottle D E (Lancashire, colliery superintendent, pre June 1914); Harbottle Mrs (England) and 3 children; Morgan R J (New Zealand, mill superintendent, pre June 1914); Purvis R A (England, surveyor, pre June 1914); Purvis Mrs, pregnant and 2 children; Quick H (Cornwall, assistant mine superintendent, pre Jun 1914); Robson H C (Cornwall, smelter superintendent, pre Jun 1914); Robson Mrs, nee Townley, (England) and 1 child; Smith D G (British, mine superintendent, Jan 1918); Wardell J A (England, engineer, June 1914); Wardell Mrs (England) and 1 child; Whittick (British, smelter chemist, Jan 1918). Photos include: Spassky Smelter 1913 (might be 1910 or 1917); outside industrial buildings operating; 10ft Basic Copper Converter 1915; Spassky Copper Converter; Basic Converter Spassky 1917; Compressor Room Spassky Smelter; Spassky Smelter 1914, Old Slag-floor Spassky, outside, building being constructed?, quarry with workers, view of site, accommodation?

Credited to Mr Stephen Lay. ACSM, BSc, CEng, FIMMM. Associate of the Camborne School of Mines and Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. Mr Stephen Lay worked extensively across the former Soviet Union in exploration and mining. In 1999, by chance, he met in Tbilisi a descendant of JW Wardell who published his account of working at Spassky at the time these photos were taken. It is from his book that the accompanying detail has been drawn. Condition: The album will need some restoration. Mould, burn marks and sun bleaching have affected this album throughout. Considering the journey it has been on, it is remarkable it exists.

ROBERT I ('THE BRUCE')Letters Patent in his name as King of Scotland, granting lands at 'Uthirtyre' [Auchtertyre] in the sheriffdom of Forfar to his supporter in the Wars of Independence Sir William Oliphant, in return for the feudal service of three archers in the King's army, in Latin, witnessed by William de Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews; Bernard of Kilwinning, Abbot of Arbroath; Duncan, Earl of Fife; Maol Iosa, Earl of Strathearn; Walter Stewart, High Steward of Scotland (Robert the Bruce's son-in-law and father of Robert II, the first Stewart monarch) and Sir Gilbert de la Haye, Lord High Constable, with flourished ascenders on the first line, bearing indistinct fragment of the Great Seal attached by original vellum tag with docket 'King Robert/ 20 year of his reigne', address panel on verso, one sheet of vellum, some dust staining and other marks, oblong folio (137 x 330mm.), seal 45 x 80mm., Scone, 20 March [1326]Footnotes:ROBERT THE BRUCE REWARDS HIS LOYAL SUPPORTER: An important document granting land at Achtertyre in Forfarshire to Sir William Oliphant for his services in the wars of independence.Sir William Oliphant of Dupplin and Aberdalgie (d.1329), was a veteran of the Battle of Dunbar of 1296 and the siege of Stirling Castle of 1304 where his cousin (of the same name, d.1313) was governor, and was imprisoned by the English on both occasions before finally returning to Scotland in 1313. After swearing allegiance to Robert the Bruce, possibly after the battle of Bannockburn, he was to receive '...a number of grants of land throughout the reign and put his seal (three crescents) to the declaration of Arbroath of 1320. In the final years of the reign he also performed the office of escheator...' (Fiona Watson, ODNB). In fact Oliphant and three of the witnesses to this document, Walter Stewart and the Earls of Strathearn and Fife, had put seals to the Declaration, a letter sent in April 1320 by fifty-one Scottish nobles and magnates to Pope John XXII in Avignon, declaring Scotland's status as an independent sovereign state and defending her right to defend herself when attacked. It asserted that Scotland had always been independent, that Edward I had unjustly attacked Scotland and committed atrocities, and that Robert the Bruce had been the one to deliver the nation from this peril. The lands awarded to Oliphant by Robert I, together with those acquired by inheritance and advantageous marriage alliances meant that the family held substantial swathes of property across Perthshire and Forfarshare and estates in Fife, Kincardineshire and Midlothian which, in later years, were used as an endowment for different branches of descendants.The document is dated the '20 year of his reigne' from the year 1306 when Robert the Bruce was crowned at Scone. Years of struggle ensued after his coronation, culminating in Scottish victory at the battle of Bannockburn in June 1314 and the treaty of Edinburgh of March 1328 by which the government of the young Edward III, under his mother Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, granted Scotland unqualified recognition as a sovereign nation. This document is well-known to scholars but its whereabouts was, for nearly a century, unknown. It originally formed part of a group of seven writs (including one other in the name of Robert I dated 26 December 1317 granting lands at Newtyle and Kinurney to Oliphant in return for the services of one knight), passing to Sir George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh (1636/8-1681), Lord Advocate, in 1682 from David Hallyburton of Pitcur, and thence by descent, as part of the so-called Mackenzie-Wharncliffe Charter-Chest at Belmont Castle in Perthshire, to Edward Montagu-Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, 3rd Baron & 1st Earl of Wharncliffe (1827-1899). The records from Belmont Castle were sold by Sotheby's, 9 June 1920.It was first published in the Fifth Report of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts of 1876 and the Latin text was included in Joseph Anderson's, The Oliphants in Scotland (Edinburgh, 1876, appendix 2) where it was noted that 'the service of three archers was commuted by King David II into a reddendum of 'three broad arrows' [on the feast of St Martin yearly at Ochtertyre] in 1364'. He also points out that on 8 March 1326, a few days before the date of our document, Oliphant had been present at the Parliament held at Holyrood. It was then printed in English and illustrated by J.W. Barty, Ancient Deeds and other Writs in the Mackenzie-Wharncliffe Charter-Chest (Edinburgh, 1906, appendix III, 131 and plate III) who commented that the writs were 'of exceptional interest and bear evidence to the fact that the lands of Newtyle, Kinpurney and Auchtertyre, and Balcraig had been the personal property of the great national hero, Robert the Bruce'.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
