CHURCHILL WINSTON S.: (1874-1965) British Prime Minister 1940-45, 1951-55. Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1953. A good A.L.S., Winston S. Churchill, one page, 8vo, Whitehall, 23rd January 1911, to Viscount Northcliffe (‘My dear Northcliffe’), on the black bordered printed mourning stationery of the Home Office, marked ‘Private’ at the head. Churchill states ‘The Times article on Daylight Saving to-day is an example of the really unfair spirit in which its leader writers treat me’ and continues ‘It is of course quite untrue that I ever contemplated taking charge of the Bill myself. The question is not a party question. You are yourself a strong supporter of the principle. Yet a sentence in Willett’s communique (for wh. I am not responsible in anyway) is made the basis for a whole paragraph of gratuitously offensive remarks.’ The Home Secretary concludes ‘I do not believe there is another newspaper in the country wh. would have behaved in such a way’ With blank integral leaf. About EX Alfred Harmsworth (1865-1922) 1st Viscount Northcliffe. British Newspaper and Publishing Magnate who, as proprietor of TheDaily Mail and The Daily Mirror, was a pioneer of popular journalism. In 1908 Northcliffe had acquired The Times and The Sunday Times. Churchill served as Home Secretary from 1910-11 in what proved to be a somewhat controversial period of office as part of H. H. Asquith’s Liberal government. The first Daylight Saving Bill had been introduced by the Liberals to the House of Commons in February 1908 and a select committee was appointed to examine the issue. However, the bill did not become law, and several other bills were to fail in the following years before Daylight saving time (which Churchill supported) was adopted in England during World War I in order to conserve fuel by reducing the need for artificial light.

Buckley was the first winner of the Victoria Cross to be actually gazetted. Rare cross-written A.L.S., C. W. Buckley, four pages, 8vo, HMS Cormorant, Rio, 13th May 1850, to 'My dear Aunt'. An emotional letter regarding family matters in which Buckley informs his correspondent, in part, 'I am scarcely in a fit state for writing, so much has my dear brother's death affected me. My dear Papa died when I was too young to feel his loss and this is the first time that I have experienced real sorrow… Thankful I am to recall his goodness and gentleness of heart and spirit, to think that that religion which I knew he possessed in life gives me now the assurance that he has joined my dear Papa… I will tell you what I know of the mournful particulars… he fell into a state of alternate delirium… with few lucid intervals… when the fearful black vomit began to show themselves. He lingered until the following morn and then God took him to himself. The news reached us at Montevideo on the 1st of this month and it has indeed made me miserable since. He was buried the same evening… in the English burying called the Gamboa… He has very few trinkets or I would send you one. His watch I cannot part with… and I believe a dish & pencil case were all be possessed beside… God keep you well and let me not hear any more bad news at present.' Buckley concludes his letter with a postscript which reads, in part, 'In the Cormorant we have lost three Midshipmen & eight seamen, one before I joined the last since. I myself had the fever in the Crescent but thank God recovered. We are now healthy on board and the yellow fever is subsiding out here.' With very minor age wear, otherwise VG The Cemitério dos Ingleses, Gamboa, a cemetery in Gamboa, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is also known as the English Cemetery or the British Cemetery Gamboa.

ANONYMOUS EDWARDIAN MUSIC HALL POSTER, CIRCA 1900 advertising THE MUSICAL SCHÄFERS, lithographic print 149cm x 51cm (58.5in x 20.25in) Note: This poster advertises The Musical Schäfers and their Novelty Revolving Sunflower act, one of the hundreds of comedy acts that toured the music halls and variety theatres in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Established performers who could afford it all had their own posters designed and printed so that they could be pasted up in the towns they were appearing with overposted slips noting the venue. Performers' contracts of the day often stipulated that entertainers had to provide their advertising material, sending it to the theatre manager at the venue before their appearance. This brightly coloured poster clearly aimed to capture the spirit of the act even if it doesn't explain how the sunflowers revolved or how they were made. Presumably the act consisted of the girl and the white-faced clown, the girl acting as a 'straight' foil to the comical musical business of the clown. The unusual long, thin shape of the poster was also designed to be eye-catching.
