Photographs.- An extraordinary collection of c.500 photographs of steam engines, many large format images as produced by many manufacturers throughout the second half of the nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth, depicting mostly nineteenth century engines, many albumen prints, most c.300 c.220 x 370mm. (or larger) or c.200 c.220 x 32mm. (or slightly smaller), loose in 4 old cloth portfolios with ties, arranged by railway line rather than manufacturer (LMS, LNER, Southern), rubbed, folio, [c.1859-1950].⁂ The original collector appears to have been a senior officer of Beyer and Peacock, and many of the images bear their design studio stamp on the reverse, sometimes dated many years after the photograph was taken, but nevertheless these are vintage prints clearly held in stock by the firm. The noted Manchester photographer James Mudd was the house photographer, many of the enclosed are from his studio. The collection has many quirky and interesting engines and some of the Beyer-Garratt type, and many that were sent overseas to all corners of the globe, especially to Australia.

Dänische Pflanzenwelt) ist der Name eines botanischen Atlasses, der 1753 von Christian Oeder, dem Direktor des Botanischen Gartens in Kopenhagen, begonnen wurde. Es dauerte 122 Jahre bis die gesamte Flora des dänischen Staates in der Art eines Herbariums erfasst - und die umfassende Enzyklopädie fertig gestellt wurde. 1790 bestellte der dänische Kronprinz und spätere König Friedrich der VI. ein umfangreiches Speiseservice bei der königlichen Porzellanmanufaktur in Kopenhagen das nicht nur den Namen, sondern auch die Motive der 'Flora Danica' tragen sollte. Gedacht war es als Geschenk für die russische Zarin Katharina II., die jedoch bereits 1796, vor der Fertigstellung des Services im Jahr 1802, verstarb. Somit seiner ursprünglichen Bestimmung beraubt, wurde das Service vom Dänischen Hof behalten, wo Teile davon bis Heute zu Staatsbanketten in Schloss Christiansborg gedeckt werden.

Danish flora) is the name of a botanical atlas that was started in 1753 by Christian Oeder, director of the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen. It took 122 years until the entire flora of the Danish state was recorded in the manner of a herbarium - and the extensive encyclopedia was completed. In 1790, the Danish Crown Prince and later King Frederick VI ordered an extensive dinner service from the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Copenhagen, which was to bear not only the name but also the motifs of 'Flora Danica'. It was intended as a gift for the Russian Tsarina Catherine II, who died in 1796, before the service was completed in 1802. Thus deprived of its original purpose, the service was kept by the Danish Court, where parts of it are still used for state banquets at Christiansborg Castle.
