Deutscher Krieg (Austro-Prussian War) -- Photographer: JohannTheodor Meier. Bahnhof Eger. June 19, 1866. Albumen print with rounded corners. 14 x 30 cm. Mounted to original board (traces of use, strong vertical crease in left side, soiled), with gilt title and date printed below the image on the mount.The location and date "Bahnhof Eger am 19. Juni 1866" is printed in gilt letters below the image on the mount. On this day Prussia declared war against Austria and its federal troops. The direct cause was the mobilization, by the Bundestag in Frankfurt, under the leadership of Austria. The railroad station at Eger was obviously one of the most important railroad junctions for troop transports towards Königgrätz and other war locations. In this image one can see over 30 locomotives and a large number of wagons on 6 or 7 rails ready for departure. The importance of railroads was quickly recognized by Prussia after the American Civil War of 1861/65, where for the first time the crucial role of railroads in the rapid transport of troops had been clearly demonstrated. Such an early German photograph that so keenly demonstrates the importance of the railroad during the war is extremely rare. – Some scuff marks and surface soiling, stronger verticle crease in left side, otherwise in good condition.

Edgerton, Harold -- "Milk Drop Coronet". 1957. Vintage chromogenic print on Kodak paper. 25 x 20,3 cm. EG & G. Inc. (Edgerton, Germeshausen and Grier Inc.) and No. 138265 stamps as well as A Kodak Paper watermark on the verso.A scientist and professor of electrical engineering at M.I.T., Harold Edgerton became interested in photography in 1931. He employed a stroboscope to generate extremely brief bursts of light in his photographic studies. These stop-action pictures made it possible to observe movements that were too fast for the human eye to see. In his milk drop images, Edgerton learned that the shape of the coronet was determined by three factors: the size of the drop, the height from which it fell, and the thickness of the film of milk on the surface from a previous drop. These studies are among Edgerton's most iconic images. The present photograph, printed by Edgerton at M.I.T., is a rare early chromogenic print with a glossy surface and saturated colors. – Buckled, small indentation mark in upper right near edge, small light crease near left edge, a few small nicks in edges, otherwise an early dye transfer print with rich, saturated colors and in good condition.Lit.: Keith Davis.

A rare Jacobite 'Prince Charlie' woven pin cushion circa 1745, the slightly reduced ribbon - 'God Preserve PC And', the inward curving rectangular cushion inscribed 'Down With The Rump' in tones of green, brown, yellow, blue and other colours, the cushion, 9 x 5.5cms, the ribbon 19.5cms.                                                                                                                † There was support for Prince Charlie in the North of England and it became fashionable to sport tartan in cities such as Manchester. There were attempts to ban such support and at the time it was stated 'As for your pin cushion makers, I think they should be rigorously chastised and their works publicly burned, let the pretty misses cry as loud as they will. It is a monstrous shame that such an ancient necessary appendage to the ladies toilet should thus be thus Jacobitised and transformed from its primitive use into a variegated tool of fashion and sedition'. It is unlikely these cushions were woven on English looms and most likely they were imported into Scotland and then down into the North of England.   For a full account see Longman (E.D.), and Loch(S): Pins and Pincushions, 1911, page 167-170. A similar example is in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum, Accession Number 29.23.7, where the manufacture is attributed to Manchester.                                                                                                 A private collection - a passion for collecting of forty years  Part 1
