3rd-5th century AD. A pair of Kiev culture bronze pendants comprising: one with two discs with six radiating lobes, red enamel infill, connected by a green enamelled triangular plaque to a thick suspension loop; one with thirteen lobes to the edge, diamond-shaped plaques with red enamel infill and triangular enamel infill to the top with two openwork circles below. 23 grams, 37-47mm (1 1/2 - 1 3/4"). Acquired on the German art market in the 1990s.

In some cases, the Slavic component prevailed, whilst Baltic and others were dominant elsewhere. [No Reserve] Fine condition.

Of Ernest Henry Shackleton interest: a rare and uncommonly neatly written six page Letter dated May 7th 1893 from the Hoghton Tower (his first ship) in Newcastle Harbour, New South Wales, Australia. The letter is a reply to a "long and interesting letter" from Mrs. Snelling of Beau Basin, Mauritius, who is understood to have been the wife of a Government servant and with whom Shackleton and two crew companions stayed for a few days when visiting the Island. The letter displays remarkable maturity for a 19 year old referring to the childishness/innocence of the Snellings' two teenage daughters, nonetheless it is tinged with the sadness of leaving Mauritius comparing the hills of Mauritius fading away as they sailed to the last lights of Old England disappearing from sight on his original departure. The letter also gives some insight into his school days and his decision to leave to go to sea and also refers to his brother's interest in stamp collecting. The letter is on cream flimsy paper with some foxing and is two pieces of paper, one 8" x 10" folded into two making four sides of writing, the second a smaller piece of paper, 8" x 5" approx., sadly in two pieces where the letter has been folded. Both pieces of paper have a watermark, discernible when held up against the light "Langer's Newcastle Book Arcade Merchants Note".

U. S. Government / Talcott, Andrew & Lee, T. J ., "Delta of the Mississippi Surveyed at the Suggestion of the Special Board of Engineers, Appointed to Devise a Plan for Improving the Entrance to the Mississippi River", Washington, 1840, lithographed map, with two vignettes showing the navigational hazards called mud lumps, 41 1/2 in. x 30 in. Ref.: Claussen & Friis, 358. Note: Andrew Talcott, U.S. Topographical Engineer, conducted the first detailed survey of the Mississippi River delta from February to July, 1838.The results of the survey were compiled and printed the following year. At the time, New Orleans was the fifth largest city in the United States and the dominant port on the Gulf of Mexico; the economy of the city was entirely tied to river commerce. Steamboat traffic had grown dramatically from its inception in 1812 to the 1830s, so getting material to New Orleans from the entire upper Mississippi basin took a fraction of the time it had previously. The problem of continuous navigation by seagoing vessels through the passes of the Mississippi into the Gulf had not been adequately addressed. The impetus for the Talcott survey in 1838 was to determine a way to increase water depths over the river mouth bars to allow year-round unfettered river/Gulf boat traffic; the first step was an accurate survey. Several interesting landmarks are noted on the chart. “South Light” appears on the sand split at the mouth of South Pass. Completed in 1832, the light existed only until 1839, when the structure was torn from its foundation by logs swept downriver. At Northeast Pass, the “North East Light” is shown near a “Salt Spring”. This lighthouse is more commonly known as the Frank’s Island light and was put into service in March 1823 when Northeast Pass was preferred over the others by mariners. Initially contemplated by architect Benjamin Latrobe as a classical stone structure, the initial lighthouse failed prior to completion due to the heavy mass built on deltaic mud. The second lighthouse was used until completion of the light at a nearby Pass a Loutre until 1856. The structure sank vertically into the mud some 20 feet before it was destroyed by a hurricane in 2002. Also shown nearby is the location of the historic Spanish and French Balize on Balize Bayou, noted as “Old Spanish Magazine”. The chart covers the area from the Gulf to Fort St. Phillip (1810) and Ft. Jackson (1832) across the river on the north. The uncommon Talcott chart, long overlooked as a critical document in the quest to improve navigation in the lower Mississippi, was not issued in all the government reports. The chart is an outstanding example of the lean, but decorative style of engraving and printing of the early Topographical Engineer surveys. Vignettes of Carr’s Lump and The Wart are beautiful renderings of mudlumps, which were both navigational aids and dangers.
