Scrapbook of a Mediterranean Cruise, 1899Scrapbook kept by Miss Ellen Perowne of a cruise on board the steam yacht Argonaut in February and March 1899, departing from Marseilles and visiting Naples, Greece, Constantinople, Palestine and Egypt.The contents include a Manuscript Journal kept by Ellen Perowne, beginning with her departure from Hartlebury Castle (the residence of her father, the Bishop of Worcester); extracts from a journal of the cruise printed in a magazine; commercial photographs of buildings and monuments they visited; Ellen's own more informal photographs; and ephemera such as menus and programmes for concerts and parties. She accompanied her father, the Bishop and her brother Connop Perowne, both of whom gave lectures and guided tours, while Ellen helped with the entertainments. (Bishop Perowne was a respected Hebrew scholar, well known for his moderate views on biblical scholarship.)The scrapbook also contains items relating to a later cruise of the Argonaut in which Ellen Perowne took part, departing from Hull and visiting the Norwegian fjords and the North Cape in July and August 1901.The Argonaut had been built in 1879, and was now owned by Henry Lunn World Travel. She had recently been fitted with new boilers and engines, and had first-class facilities for its 120 passengers. She came to grief on 29 September 1908, when she collided with a steamer in a fog and sank rapidly; no lives were lost, but the passengers lost all their possessions.An interesting record of a bygone world.

FADEN, William (1749-1836). A Map of the Peninsula of India from the 19th Degree North Latitude to Cape Comorin. London: 1792. Hand-coloured engraved map on 2 sheets (lightly but evenly browned), each sheet 490 x 805mm., unframed. The map is colour-coded by hand to delineate the territorial holdings as explained in a key at the foot of the southern sheet. Red regions represented areas held by the British, largely under the control of the British East India Company. Purple regions were those under the influence of the Raja of Mysore, a kingdom ruled in the late-18th century by Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan, who were known for inciting various rebellions against the British. The holdings of the Marhatta are coloured in green and the Nizam in orange. The territories in yellow were under the rule of the Nawabs of the Carnatic who succeeded in resisting British colonization until the early-19th century. Territories in blue were under the control of the Kingdom of Travancore, which came under the rule of the British East India Company after a treaty in 1795. (2)
