Wilton had a 30-year relationship with Chinese affairs beginning in 1890. He was employed with the Mission to Tibet in 1903-04, as adviser to Francis Younghusband on Chinese affairs. At the time the photographs in the small album were taken Wilton would have been Acting Consul-General in Canton. By 1920 he had returned to Europe, becoming British Commissioner in Lithuania, and was later appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republics of Estonia and Latvia. From 1923-26 he was Chief Foreign Inspector of the Chinese Salt Gabelle, and from 1927-32 he was President of the Saar Governing Commission, in Europe. The trip was certainly undertaken by some people in consular positions, and one photographed woman identified simply as ‘V’ may refer to Violet Evelyn Brown, who Wilton was to marry in 1927. The trip appears to have taken in what is known as The Fragrant Hills, written by an unidentified author. At the beginning the diarist worries that Chang Tso Lin [Zhang Zuolin, a Chinese warlord] will come into the Civil War [i.e. the conflict between Japanese-backed forces based in Manchuria, known as the Fengtians and the Zhili faction, backed by Anglo-US interests] leaving the trains between Peking and Mukden [Shenyang] affected, and thus delaying their trip into the Western hills near Beijing. Since the trains appear to be unaffected they decide their trip can go ahead in spite of all. There are mentions of Mrs Denham and her friend, Mrs Wheatcroft, an artist joining them, plus 'The Lucas''. The diary continues with lists of the provisions and supplies: bacon, whisky, pickles, etc., and a list of 'useful things Mrs Denham likes' including a piece of white linoleum to use as a tablecloth, 'paper napkins instead of linen ones'... The party take the train to Chang Tsin Tien where they change trains and begin their trip from Toli [photo of the travellers in a Toli teahouse] with a walk to Hei Lung Kwan crossing the Lu Li Ho river, and finding it hard going even with donkeys as the river has flooded and several bridges are down. Later they come to large village Nan Chiao 'where there is a good sized temple'. Their departure from the village draws a large crowd, ’foreigners are evidently a rarity in these parts'. 'One passes numerous little coal mines… and all the people are black with coal dust'. They eventually arrive at Chan Kow Yuen to find the temple in ruins. They find another at the other end of the village but it is full of soldiers. They head for a place called Hsi Yu Sen passing through prosperous countryside of buckwheat fields, and find the people friendly. Retracing their steps they see 'a curious little bit of country superstition' when they witness a little girl drop a baby while crossing a stream on stepping stones. When she picks it up she touches the stones and then the baby's head, an action repeated by the mother when she arrives. Their train is full with country people and soldiers 'all however quite well behaved’.

Lavish work on the Moorish architecture of Southern Spain. Cork-born Irish architect and antiquary James Cavanah Murphy (1760-1814) travelled to Cadiz in 1802 and spent seven years studying the Moorish style, which was serialised in 1815-16 and followed by a one-volume edition with 98 plates of the buildings, ornaments, plans, fountains, views, gardens and Arabic inscriptions of the Alhambra complex and the Mosque at Cordoba. The publishers continued publishing the work until 1820, when their partnership was dissolved and publisher H.G. Bohn acquired the plates producing an additional four (starred) plates as in the present work. "Many interesting instances of gothicised distortions of the Alhambra can be found in The Arabian Antiquities of Spain... By distorting the proportions of the halls and courts, Murphy transforms the Alhambra into a 'sublime' building - to use Edmund Burke's term. In the Court of the Lions for example, the length of the patio is greatly extemded, giving the impression of a long and narrow space. This contrasts with the patio as it actually is, smaller, more compact, and somewhat square in its proportions. Furthermore, and what is peculiar to Murphy, the portico in the foreground is magnified in length and height thereby 'gothicising' its features... And it appears that Murphy deliberately distorted these proportions to make them more palatable to Gothic taste, as is made clear in the text accompanying this illustration, where we find the following: 'A beautiful portico, not unlike the portals of some Gothic churches projects into this court'." (The Burlington Magazine, volume CXXVIII, number 1001, August 1986).

* Spanish West Indies. "A Plan for Attacking the Spanish Settlements in the West Indies in the North and South Seas in case of a War", circa 1725, four page manuscript written in a neat hand comprising detailed plans for raising sufficient militia and also methods of and places to attack, "In order to this undertaking it will be necessary for Officers to be appointed and dispatched to the several Colonies his Majesty is Posses'd of in America to raise men, the Americans being more proper for this enterprise than Europeans because most of those who will List for this Expedition have already been in the West Indies and are seasoned to these climes and consequently will not be so subject to sickness and mortality as raw unexperienced Europeans, besides they are more imur'd to arms and will take less time to discipline. For the Encouragement of the Americans it will be necessary that his Majesty issues out his Royall Proclamation setting forth on what condition they shall be supply'd with arms, ammunition and provisions at the Public charge, and that all the Plunder which is taken at Land shall be Lodged with proper officers appointed for that purpose, and that as soon as any conquest is made or Town plundered, such plunder shall be Equally shared among the whole according to the Rank and Quality they bear in the Navy and Army, for these must be no distinction between them, and it must be further provided that as soon as the Expedition is over and there is no more occasion for the Army, such as desire it shall be Transported at the publick charge to the several Colonies where they belong with every thing they are possesed of that can be conveniently carried. ... In the mean time the Army is providing in America a Fleet of Men of War must be equip'd in England consisting of twelve ships from 70 to 40 Guns with their full complements of Men ... and there must be two Regiments of veterane Troops embark with the fleet who must leave England in July in Order to proceed to the West Indies. But by the way they may call at the Island of Madera to take on board a sufficient quantity of wines for the Navy and Army and then sail for Barbados and the Leeward Island, and when the forces raised there, have joyned them to proceed directly for Jamaica. It is highly probable that by the end of September the whole fleet and Army will be joyned and ready for any undertaking in October, which will be the properest time of year to enter upon action, the Hurrycane months being then over and the Raines ceased, the weather will be more moderate ..., Cartagena and Porto Bello may be both attacked at the same time, a small Force being able to reduce the latter and when conquer'd the Forces may wither joyn the Grand Army at Cartagena or else attack Chagre which can make but little resistance. When these places are conquered the Havana is the next place of importance necessary to attack, which being reduced Great Britain will be possesed of the key of the Gulph of Florida and no ship can sail from Vera Cruze for Europe but must of necessity go that way, which will be liable to be intercepted by the British Men of War and Vera Cruze may likewise be reduced and thereby the whole commerce of Spain to those parts will be intirely cut off", the manuscript provides a breakdown of the 12000 troops required with the quotas of men to be raised in the several Colonies including "New England - The Province of Massechusets Bay 800, New Hampshire 200, Road Island 500; New York and the Jerseys 1500, Long Island 300; Pensilvania 800; Viginia and Maryland 1000; Both the Carolines 1000; Bermuda and Providence 500; Bardados 400; Antego 200; Montserate 100; Nevis 100; St Christophers 100; Virgin Islands 100; Jamaica 1500... two regements from England 1000; seamen landed from the Men of War 2000 ...", few small insect holes, old folds, folioQty: (1)NOTESProvenance: Townshend Heirlooms: Historical Papers (of Raynham Hall, Fakenham), lot 30.

For thus our united strength, our situation and possession of all that coast, our easy navigation, quality and quantity of all sort of manufacture requisite for the Indian trade give us so many advantages over them that all the savage inhabitants dreading our power would court our friendship and the French themselves depend on a good understanding with us for every foot of land they may hereafter be possess'd of in North America.

Vice Admiral Frank Hosier (1673-1727) saw distinguished action against the Spanish off Cartagena in 1711. He became Vice-Admiral in 1723 and in March 1726, was sent to command a squadron on the Jamaica Station with orders to prevent Spain from shipping its treasures home. At first, Hosier met with success in his Blockade of Porto Bello. He was under orders not to attempt a capture of the town, which he could have done with relative ease but was forced to loiter and cruise on the Breda off Vera Cruz, which was a mosquito-infested coast. Yellow fever broke out and Hosier himself died, as did between 3,000 and 4,000 of his sailors.
