Two large modern albums, 1970s, containing approximately 100 large photographs showing giant receivers in various remote parts of the world and other equipment and Marconi enterprisesGuglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) was an Italian inventor, electrical engineer and diplomat. He is known for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission and for his development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. Regarded as the inventor of radio he shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with one of his closest rivals in the field, Karl Ferdinand Braun, 'in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy'. In 1897 Marconi founded the Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company (later the Marconi Company). Its aim was to develop the Marconi apparatus commercially; the first manufacturing works were established in Chelmsford in an old silk factory. Over the next few years the Company rented land and buildings in London, Cornwall, North America and elsewhere. In 1901, Marconi achieved communication over 198 miles between the Isle of Wight and the Lizard in Cornwall. In December of the same year, history was made when Marconi transmitted the letter S of the Morse code (three dots) across the Atlantic from Poldhu in Cornwall to Signal Hill, St. John's, Newfoundland. He had taken on John Ambrose Fleming, a brilliant scholar and a skilled practical engineer who had been an electrical advisor to Thomas Edison; Fleming proved invaluable at Poldhu, designing and operating the generator. One of Marconi's ambitions was to give sailors and passengers in challenging or potentially disastrous situations at sea the means to communicate - most clearly demonstrated when the 'Titanic' sank: the distress calls from Marconi's wireless installation on 'Titanic' saved 700 lives.During the 1920s, assisted by C. S. Franklin, an eminent engineer, Marconi turned his attention to short-wave directional transmissions, known as the 'Empire Beam' system. This met with a favourable response and Marconi's dream of global radio communication was established. The company was also involved in the beginnings of public broadcasting in England, the first being a recital performed by the singer Dame Nellie Melba in 1920. A couple of years later the British Broadcasting Company (later 'Corporation') was born and the population could now enjoy radio and later television in their own homes. Marconi believed that wireless would save lives and hoped it would help to bring peace to the world. Shortly before he died he was made Lord Rector of St Andrews University and was heard to say 'Have I done the world good, or have I added a menace?' What began as pioneering experiments in the Italian countryside had, in his lifetime, grown to an international company with many subsidiaries all over the world.The present important archive shows the astounding and rapid expansion of one of the world's great business enterprises in a field that has now assumed global significance - engineering, communications, wireless telegraphy, communications, electronics. The 28 volumes comprising the Register of Agreements cover company business ranging from the purchasing of patents, patent applications and licences, broadcasting licences, tenancy, land and property agreements and bank and company agreements from the very first day of business on July 22 1897. There are also agreements regarding the construction of telegraph stations, inventions, wireless equipment and hire purchase.Five of the volumes in the archive bear the multiple signatures of Guglielmo Marconi, his brother Alfonso, and those of other directors and secretaries in the Company: Henry W. Allen, W. W. Bradfield, M. A Bramston, S. Geoghegan, Godfrey C. Isaacs, Alfonso Marconi, H. Riall Sankey, Henry S. Saunders, S. St. J. Steadman and Sir Charles J. Stewart.

A hardstone and gold desk seal, English, mid 19th century, a banded brown agate handle, of wasted, cut cornered rectangular section. A gold mount and cushion of waisted calyx form with lyre-shaped curling leaves on a matted ground. An oval chalcedony matrix engraved with a full achievement of arms incorporating motto, two crests, helm, mantling and shield. The motto reading 'non nobis solum', translated as 'not for ourselves alone'. Tested as approximately 18ct gold. 62 x 22mm, 35.66gProvenance: from the Matrix Collection of Historic Hand Seals.The arms are those of Eardley quartering Smith with Magee in pretence; the crests of Eardley and Smith. The family descend in the 18th century from Thomas Smith of Hadley in Middlesex (whose ancestors, by the name of Lefevre, came from France in the time of Elizabeth and assumed the name of Smith). His only son, Thomas (d.1744) was a London merchant and married Culling Horne, sister and co-heir of John Horne, Governor of Bombay. Thomas and Culling Smith had an armorial dinner service made in China about 1740, probably ordered by John Horne, who at the same time ordered another service for his other sister Mary. The family were well connected in the East Indies, with their third son being a Captain in the East India Company naval service and his fourth son Governor of Madras. Thomas and Culling Smith’s second son, Culling, was created a Baronet in 1802 and his grandson, the 3rd Baronet, assumed the surname and arms of Eardley in lieu of Smith in 1847. This seal (which does not bear a Baronet's badge) was made for his only son Eardley-Gideon-Culling Eadley, (b. 1838), who married in 1859 Florence, only child of James Magee of New Orleans. The seal could therefore only have been made between 1859 and either his date of succession or date of death, which must have been by 1875 when the Baronetcy became extinct.
