Stevenson, Robert Louis Glass plate negative taken in Samoa Showing Robert Louis Stevenson and Tuimaleali'ifano Fa'aoloi'i Si'ua'ana I, paramount chief of Samoa, 21.5 x 16cm, with some writing to the negative and three labels around the margins one reading “Stevenson copy Samoa 17/6/95: 229” This image can be found in Vailima Letters by Robert Louis Stevenson, published in 1895, opposite p.320.The text on the negative: Stevenson copy Samoa 17/6/95: 229, suggests that this copy of the image was created seven months after Robert Louis Stevenson's death. It has been suggested that this negative belonged to the New Zealand-born photographer in Apia, Alfred John Tattersall, whom the photographer John Davis took on as an assistant in 1886. The number 229 seems to have been Tattersall's stock number. In April 1895 a large fire destroyed Davis' photographic Gallery and all of Davis' negatives were destroyed. However, for this copy to have been created, the negative must have been stored elsewhere and is therefore one of the few pieces from the Davis collection to have survived.Extensive research suggests that this is the only negative in existence of this image of Robert Louis Stevenson with Chief Tuimaleali'ifano Fa'aoloi'i Si'ua'ana. Notably, it is the last known photograph taken of Robert Louis Stevenson prior to his death. It would therefore make sense that any copies he had stored elsewhere would then become the only negative in existence after the fire destroyed the original negative(s).

His wealthy background afforded him the luxury of entertaining numerous careers, including medicine and business, and he also showed a considerable interest in geology. In the 1740s he began sketching alongside his brother-in-law, Robert Adam, and the artist Paul Sandby. Clerk travelled extensively throughout Scotland, recording a wide range of landscapes and ancient buildings. His sketches of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas are highly personal representations of his native countryside' (National Galleries of Scotland, online). The Bannatyne Club was an antiquarian printing society founded in Edinburgh in 1823 by Sir Walter Scott on the model of London's Roxburghe Club.

Boyle, Robert Experiments and Considerations Touching Colours First occasionally written, among some other Essays, to a Friend; and now suffer'd to come abroad as The Beginnig of an Experimental History of Colours. London: for Henry Herringman, 1664. 8vo (16.6 x 10.5cm), [40] 424 pp., 18th-century tan calf, title-page printed in red and black, engraved folding plate, binding worn, book-block detached from binding, initial quire a detached from book-block, upper 3 cords (of 4) split between K1 and K2, small repair to plate, front pastedown (containing traces of old ink annotations) abraded, lacking front free endpaper [Fulton 57] Rare first edition of one of Boyle's most influential works, which propounded a number of ideas and observations subsequently explored by Newton in his Optics, was a principal source for Locke's distinction between ‘primary’ and 'secondary' qualities, and moved Samuel Pepys to declarations of uncomprehending awe. In recording that certain vegetable extracts change colour according to the acidity of a solution, Boyle furthermore provided the first full account of chemical indicators; there are also descriptions of the iridescence of metallic films and soap bubbles, and snow-blindness. Printed in 1664, it is conceivable that a large number of copies perished in the Great Fire of London two years later, a fate widely believed to have befallen Shakespeare's Third Folio, a work of the same year.
