Pair: E. A. Floyer, Inspector General of Egyptian Telegraphs, a scholar, explorer and scientist, who accompanied Kitchener on his mission to see the Mudir of Dongola, and subsequent disguised forays from Debba. Known to General Gordon, he corresponded with him at Khartoum, and also heavily contributed to Sir Reginald Wingate’s history of the Egyptian Campaigns Egypt and Sudan 1882-89, undated reverse, 1 clasp, The Nile 1884-85 (Insp: Genl Of Telegrs E. A. Floyer.); Khedive’s Star, dated 1884-6, unnamed as issued, generally good very fine and rare (2) £800-£1,200 --- Provenance: Dix Noonan Webb, December 1999 (when sold as a single Egypt and Sudan 1882-89 medal) Ernest Ayscoghe Floyer, the British telegraph engineer and explorer, was born on 4 July 1852, at Marshchapel, Lincolnshire, eldest surviving son of the Rev. Ayscoghe Floyer by his wife Louisa Sara, daughter of the Hon. Frederick John Shore of the Bengal Civil Service. After education at Charterhouse from 1865 until 1869, Floyer served for seven years in the Indian telegraph service, being stationed on the coast of the Persian Gulf. On receiving his long leave, in January 1876, he started for the unexplored interior of Baluchistan. His journeys there occupied him until May 1877, and his observations and surveys earned him a reputation as a bold and intelligent explorer. His results were published in ‘Unexplored Baluchistan’ (1882), with illustrations and map. The narrative describes a journey of exploration from Jask to Kirman via Anguhran. There are appendices on dialects of Western Baluchistan and on plants collected. In January 1878 he was appointed Inspector General of Egyptian telegraphs, a post which he held until his death.
He and his telegraph staff played an important part in maintaining communications with the Egyptian garrisons in the Sudan at the beginning of the Mahdist revolt. In 1884 he made a journey from Halfa to Debba, in the Dongola province with H. H. Kitchener, then in the intelligence department of the Egyptian army. He also regularly corresponded with General Gordon: ‘Dear General Gordon, I send you the above as the last public news we have heard. I have been appointed Inspector General of the Soudan Telegraph, but at present I can’t get beyond Debba to inspect them, as Mr Hudai has captured the Merowi telegraph office, and the Sirdar will not let us advance. I am ordered back to Halfa, and am leaving by boat this morning. With kind regards to Colonel Stewart. Yours sincerely, E. A. Floyer. Debba, 22 August 1884.’ (The Journals of Major General C. G. Gordon C.B. at Khartoum refers) Later in the journal Gordon writes the following having used telegraph forms for his journal, “Floyer wil be furious at this misuse of telegraph forms.” The following report from Floyer appeard in Reynolds Newspaper 24 August 1884: ‘Writing from Dongola: ‘The people here go about armed to the teeth. Even my barber comes to me with a huge spear in one hand and his shaving tackle in another. The Mudir of Dongola has ordered his men to collect and mass at Sarras, the railway terminus, 1,000 camels to aid in the transport of stores southwards; 1,500 out of the 2,000 men promised by the Mudir are on their way to Sarras, under the charge of Issedin Bey, a Vakeel of Dongola.’ Floyer so administered the department as to convert an annual loss into a substantial annual surplus. He induced the government to devote a portion of this to experiments in the cultivation of trees and plants upon the soil of the desert. He took charge of these experiments in the capacity of director of plantations, state railways and telegraphs of Egypt. He cultivated successfully cactus for fibre, casuarina for telegraph poles, Hyoscyamus muticus yielding the alkaloid hyoscamine, and other plants. Having discovered nitrate of soda in a clay in Upper Egypt, he was appointed by the government to superintend the process of its extraction. At the same time he engaged in exploration. In 1887 he surveyed two routes between the Nile and the Red Sea in about N. lat. 26°. In 1891 he was appointed by the Khedive to the command of an important expedition in a more southern part of the same desert (about N. lat. 24°). In this expedition he rediscovered the abandoned emerald mines of Sikait and Zabbara which had been worked at various epochs from early times. As the result of Floyer’s report these mines were reopened. The outcome of this expedition, antiquarian, scientific, and economic, is fully described in his official publication ‘Etude sur la Nord-Etbai entre le Nil et la Mer Rouge’ (Cairo, 1893, 4to, with maps and illustrations). For services to the military authorities Floyer received the British medal ‘Egypt 1882,’ with clasp ‘The Nile 1884-85,’ and the Khedive’s bronze star. Floyer, who was popular with his native employees, had a mastery of Arabic and possessed an ear for minute differences of dialect. He described his Egyptian explorations in ‘The Mines of the Northern Etbai’ (Trans. Roy. Asiatic Soc. October 1892); ‘Notes on the Geology of the Northern Etbai’ (Trans. Geol. Soc. 1892); ‘Further Routes in the Eastern Desert of Egypt’ (Geogr. Journ. May 1893); and ‘Journeys in the Eastern Desert of Egypt’ (Proc. Roy. Geogr. Soc. 1884 and 1887). To the Journal of the ‘Institut Egyptien’ for 1894-96 he contributed many papers on antiquarian, botanical, and agricultural matters. (Ref. Dictionary of National Biography and Biographical Dictionary of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan). Floyer died in Cairo in 1903, and is extensively mentioned in several works including Life, Letters and Diaries of Lieutenant General Sir Gerald Graham and The Story of My Life by Sir Harry H. Johnston. Sold with a copy of Notes on a Sketch Map of two Routes in the Eastern Desert of Egypt by the recipient, extensive copied research, and several photographic images of the recipient.

Le roi est venu passer quelques heures à Berlin et lui a fait dire que son intention avait été d'aller le voir, mais que les affaires l'en avaient empêché… Vous aurez vu la lettre apologétique du roi qu'on imprime actuellement, ainsi que le tombeau de la Sorbonne…´ ("His health is a little better. The King came to spend a few hours in Berlin and told him that his intention had been to go and see him, but that work had prevented him from doing so...

MARTI JOSE & ESTRADA PALMA TOMAS: José Martí (1853-1895) Cuban Poet, Writer and Revolutionary Philosopher. Martí is considered a national hero as well as a leading figure in Latin American literature. He became a symbol for Cuba's fight for independence in the 19th century, and is referred to as the ''Apostle of Cuban Independence''; & Tomas Estrada Palma (1835-1908) First President of Cuba 1902-1906, and previously during the Ten Year´s War. Remembered for allowing the Platt Amendment which ensured American dominance over Cuba. An exceptional and very attractive multiple signed D.S., `Jose Martí´, and `T. Estrada Palma´, four pages, large folio, New York, 10th May 1893 and 27th January 1895, to Rafael Cortes and to Manuel Ruiz, in Spanish. The partially printed document bears the printed heading of the New York delegation of the Cuban Revolutionary party, being a title given to contributors in favour of the cause, ''Patriotic Assistance - Fundraising - To finance the Independence and for the Freedom of Cuba''. The attractive document, printed in green, bears large palms to front page borders and coats of arms to the front heading and to the verso. The document is signed by Marti and Estrada Palma in their capacity as delegates and is also signed by Gonzalo de Quesada as Secretary of the delegation. The lengthy written text, entitled ''The Cuban Revolution'', is a manifesto in favour of Cuban Independence and freedom, against the Spanish occupancy and slavery, stating in part `Cuba se ha alzado en armas con el sacrificio y la solemne determinacion de la muerte, no para interrumpir con patriotismo fanatico por el ideal insuficiente de la independencia politica de España. El Desarrollo de un pueblo que hubiera podido llegar en paz a su madurez…´ (Translation: “Cuba has taken up arms with sacrifice and the with the solemn determination of death, not to interrupt with fanatical patriotism the insufficient ideal of political independence from Spain. The development of a people that could have reached maturity in peace…”) The document bears beneath the signatures a large beige paper seal affixed of the Delegation of the Cuban Revolutionary Party. To the second sheet, another title given to contributors in favour of the cause, the light image affixed to the front, shows Martí, Cespedes, Teodoro Perez, and many other revolutionary leaders at the balcony of Teodoro Perez´ home, known as La Te Da, on 1st of May 1893 in Key West. This small island was the capital of the Cuban exile at the time. Bearing to the verso an attractive map of Cuba. Small overall age wear, with a very small hole to the first sheet, not affecting the text or images. Small remnants of a former red wax seal to the verso of the second sheet. G to VG The present document is signed by Jose Marti on 23rd-27th January 1895, only a few days before drawing up the Uprising order. A month later, on 24th February, the uprising took place, and three months later Marti was killed at the battle of Dos Rios only a month after having returned to Cuba. Gonzalo de Quesada y Arostegui (1868-1915) was the key architect of Cuba´s Independence Movement with Jose Marti. Appointed Special Commissioner of Cuba to the United States in 1900. He later entered the diplomatic service, becoming Minister to the United States. De Quesada authored ''A History of Free Cuba'' (1898) and ''Cuba'' (1905). He also edited Marti's literary works 1900-11. In the early 1890s, Key West's poet-patriot hero Jose Martí started visiting the island, raising money and trying to unite the different exile groups that wanted to overthrow Cuba's Spanish rulers. There was a routine every time Martí came to town. It was like a holiday in town. About 5,000 people would go to the port to wait for him. There was a music band in San Carlos called La Banda Libertad (“The Freedom Band”), a band that would go to the port. The port was full of American and Cuban flags. They would parade him down Duval Street from the port, past the San Carlos, all the way to La Te Da. That is why that place is called La Te Da, because the Cubans would call that place Martí's Terrace, “La Terraza de Martí". And that name got shortened to La Te Da. In the same way as Key West became Key West from Cayo Hueso. Today La Te Da is a guesthouse that hosts drag shows and tea dances. Back then, it was the home of Teodoro Perez, a cigar factory owner and friend of Martí.
