A 12 BORE 2 1/2' CHAMBERED BLACK POWDER PROVED SIDE BY SIDE HAMMER SHOTGUN, bearing the name Frederick T. Baker, 88 Fleet Street, London on the locks. The action is stamped Frederick T. Baker No 111 Patent whilst the trigger guard is marked with the Roman numerals MDCCCLXVI (which in numbers = 1866). The patent relates to the circular recess in the frame into which the Jones rotary locking lever engages. This was Baker's patent 403 of 1866 whilst 111 was the serial number allocated by him to the shotgun. In 1893 it was rebarrelled by G.E. Lewis, 32 & 33 Lower Loveday Street, Birmingham and bears the serial number 9047, which Nigel Brown records as being issued by Lewis in that year. Its barrels bear a light coating of rust and are 32½' in length. (The purchaser must be the holder of a current Shotgun Certificate and is not advised to use modern nitro cartridges in it unless it is reproved)
Europe. Onwhyn (Tom), Treaty Map, published Rock Brothers & Payne, April 20th, 1856, etched allegorical map with contemporary hand colouring, old folds, two small marginal closed tears, retaining pictorial paper wrappers with description key to verso of upper cover, upper cover detached, covers a little soiled and frayed, 485 x 620 mm Rare anamorphic map celebrating the Treaty of Paris which was signed on 30th March 1856 and which formally ended the Crimean War. The Russian Bear lifts its paw (which is streaming with blood) away from the Crimean peninsula. The bear's body is covered with the words 'tyrrany', 'oppression', 'treachery', 'bigotry' and 'ignorance'. However along its back is the notice 'Russian hide, wants more tanning'. Onwhyn clearly thinks little of the treaty as he shows Britannia's sword bound with 'red tape' and her lion with an eye-patch. Other European countries fare little better. Italy is depicted as a mad dog in convulsions, being strangled by a collar labelled 'popery'. Poland is depicted as a gravestone with 'Defunct nationality' engraved upon it and Austria is a double headed ass. Prussia is an obeisant cur wearing the collar of the Czar with the 'Very Petty German states' tied to its tail.The map appears to be a follow on from Onwhyn's 1854 map 'Comic Map of the Seat of the War' which was copied and also published in Belgium by Louis Mols-Marchal. Rod Barron in his blog of June 9th 2015 ;Clipping the Russian Bear's claws...,' describes the 1854 map and describes how, as the war progressed and casualties mounted that sentiment turned against treating the war as a subject for mirth and satire. It is perhaps surprising that Rock Brothers and Payne thought it appropriate to issue another map after what must have been considerable public opprobium. This may also explain why we have been unable to find a copy of this map appearing in auction or being held by an insitution. (1)
