A part set of the highly influential magazine produced by one of the most important 19th century Arts and Crafts organisations, with the rarely found suppressed issue. The Century Guild was founded in 1882 by the architect Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo to produce decorative work in every field of interior design including architecture, decorative painting, furniture, metalwork, ceramics and glass. There was an emphasis on crafts rather than mechanical production and in particular the new style of Art Nouveau, evident in the woodcut decorations and monogram by Mackmurdo. The architect Herbert P.Horne and artist & writer Selwyn Image were the fellow members and co-editors but many other artists were involved with the group. In 1884 they started The Century Guild Hobby Horse, concentrating on the visual arts but also including literature and social issues. It was a high quality magazine printed on handmade paper, illustrated with woodcuts and lithographs and used photogravure for reproductions, while the progressive typography and design of the main part was done or guided by Emery Walker and printed at the Chiswick Press. Contributors/content include Oscar Wilde, W.M. Rossetti, Christina Rossetti, William and May Morris, John Ruskin, Arthur Galton, John Addington Symonds, Paul Verlaine, Inigo Jones, Edward Burne-Jones, Simeon Solomon, Arthur Burgess, Ford Madox Brown, William Strang, G.F. Watts, Frederic Shields, Frederick Sandys, Jean Francois Millet etc etc. The Guild influenced C.F.A.Voysey and Charles Rennie Mackintosh and other members of the Arts and Crafts movement; the magazine developed book-design leading to periodicals such as The Yellow Book and The Savoy.

Henry Jacob Bigelow Insensibility during surgical operations produced by inhalation. In: Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. XXXV, No. 16, S 309-317. Boston, David Clapp 1847. • Eine der wichtigsten Veröffentlichungen in der Geschichte der Medizin und Chirurgie • Mit dem ersten Bericht über die Verwendung von Äther als Anästhetikum • Erstdruck • In der seltenen Originalausgabe der Zeitschrift 'First edition, journal issue, of the announcement ot the discovery of surgical anaesthesia, the most significant contribution to medicine made in the United States during the 19th century' (Norman Collection) Diese Originalausgabe ist seltener als der Sonderdruck von Bigelows Artikel, in dem 7 Absätze zu einem vorgeschlagenen Patent weggelassen werden. Der Band des Boston Journal war so selten und gesucht, daß Osler ihn erst kurz vor seinem Tod in den Händen hielt. 'When this long-looked-for volume arrived in December, 1919, towards the end of his last illness, Sir Wm. Osler asked that the following note be inscribed in it: All things come to him who waits - but it was a pretty close shave this time! Start with the documents that magnetized into life an ancient practice - these pamphlets of Morton’s, Bigelow’s paper, Warren’s paper, and vol. XXXV of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. Put these together as the blastoderm from which the enormous literature has developed' (Osler). - Bigelow, fast 40 Jahre lang die dominierende Persönlichkeit in der Chirurgie Neuenglands, beobachtete am 16. Oktober 1846 im Massachusetts General Hospital, wie der Zahnarzt John C. Warren eine Operation am Kiefer unter Verwendung von Äther als Anästhetikum durchführte, das W.T.G. Morton verabreichte. Warren und Morton wollten das Verfahren patentieren lassen, während Bigelow sie zwang, ihre Entdeckung mitzuteilen, indem er die Errungenschaft umgehend am 3. November an die American Academy of Arts and Sciences verkündete. EINBAND: Halblederband d.

* Pioneer Aviation. "Possibly the first officially contracted test pilot in the UK", Aeronautical Syndicate Ltd (ASL), the original contract issued to pioneer aviation pilot Bertie Woodrow by The Aeronautical Syndicate Ltd dated 18 March 1910, the typed contract with 6 clauses for example 'The said Bertie Woodrow shall at all times during the period of his employment use his best endeavours for the success of the business of the Syndicate and shall not undertake any other business or in any Monoplanes Aeroplanes or Flying Machines belonging to any other person persons or Corporation than the Syndicate without the consent in writing of the Syndicate.', the contract is signed in black ink by Woodrow and witnessed by William Carrington of 17 Adelaide Square Windsor, with three additional signatures by two Aeronautical Syndicate directors Charles Worsley Battersby and Herman Rudolph Schmettau plus secretary Douglas W. Davidson alongside the common seal of the Aeronautical Syndicate, folded and closed tears along the folds, together with four copied photographs of showing the Valkyrie B Racer piloted by Mr Barber, plus a facsimile copy of the Flight periodical dated 1 April 1911 which reports on the Valkyrie Racer, together with a folder of research and copied photographs documenting the crash, memorials etc these compiled and used by Norman Parker for presentation purposes plus Barber (Horatio), The Aeroplane Speaks, Fourth Edition, inscribed 'J.H. Watson 6th Bn East Lancashire Regt 10.1.18' QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Norman Parker (1926-2024), Aviation Historian & Chairman of Amesbury History Society.The Aeronautical Syndicate Ltd was formed in April 1910, they appointed Horatio Barber as their general manager. Barber was an early pioneer of aviation who had made his fortune in Canada and developed a passion for aeronautics and on his return to England, he rented a workshop in some disused railway arches at Battersea (next to the Short Brothers), developing a monoplane with the help of his friend consulting engineer, Howard Wright. The monoplane was completed and delivered to Larkhill, Salisbury Plain in June 1909.Barber joined the Aeronautical Syndicate Ltd and continued his developments. The first aircraft was the ASL monoplane No.1., which was of canard layout with a pusher propeller. He employed his chauffeur Bertie Woodrow (1888-1969) as his test pilot, Barber is noted to have said 'You drive my car so you had better drive my aeroplane!'. It is noted on the A.S.L. website that Woodrow was possibly the first officially contracted test pilot in the UK. The aircraft was overweight and failed to fly. It was later sold off and believed to have crashed on its first real flight. Barber's second machine was the A.S.L Monoplane No.2 which was delivered to Larkhill in the spring of 1910. Woodrow flew this on many test flights, eventually crashing it when the foreplane was experimentally set at too steep an angle. Barber applied for Patent No 7289 (Improvements in Monoplane Flying Machines) which led to the Valkyrie series of Canard monoplanes, this was the syndicate's most successful aircraft. Barber was later taught to fly by Woodrow, and he gained his RAeC Aviators Certificate in 1910. Barber flew a Valkyrie from Brighton to Horsham in 17 minutes. The syndicate then moved their operation to the newly erected sheds at Hendon in September 1910 and the company closed in 1912.

QIAN SHUN JU (attributed to, 1239 — 1299)Portraits of Periodical OfferingsChina, 18th century or earlierA handscroll containing two sections of painting in ink and colour on silk, each sealed, depicting foreign emissaries parading gifts of jade, coral and beautifully caparisonned horses, a title slip reading Yuan, Qianshun Ju, Zhígòngtú, and a section of calligraphy on paper with a title reading Zhígòngtú, dated December 11th 1385, stamped with five seals and signed with the name of Zhang Shen, a collector, scholar and calligrapher active at the turn of Yuan and Ming dynasties, explaining he appraised a Zhígòngtú and provided it with an introduction.31.5cm x 53cm; 35.5cm x 56cm; 35.5cm x 56cm Provenance: an English private collection, acquired in the 1990s.A very closely related painting dated to the Ming Dynasty is housed in the collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, Washington DC, accession no F1915.16. The Smythsonian scroll is traditionally attributed to Han Gan (715 — 781), the Tang Dynasty painter renowned for his vivid and spirited depiction of horses from the Imperial stables. Throughout the history of the Chinese empire, the vassal states and tribes were obliged to deliver diplomatic gifts to the court on regular basis. Portraits of Periodical Offerings, Zhígòngtú, (職貢圖 / 职贡图) was a popular theme and a way of recording those foreign tributes arriving at the court and ambassadors delivering them. Each depiction was accompanied by a short description of the diplomat and their country of origin. Examples were commissioned since the Liang Dynasty (526 - 539) and copies made for circulation among the court officials. Horses played a crucial role in these tributary ceremonies as an important commodity and a symbol of status. In Tang dynasty they were imported from great distances as gifts to the Chinese emperors: there was a belief that the steeds form the Sogdian valeys in Central Asia (area roughly covering today's Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan) have descended form dragons and have been called Tianma - Heavenly Horses. Some were said to sweat blood, a condition most likely due to a parasitic infection. Both horses and their foreign grooms were in high demand at the subsequent Chinese courts. 《元钱舜举职贡图》18世纪或更早 这幅画卷包含两部分，画布为丝绸，设色，分别有印章，画卷描绘外国使者向朝廷进贡玉器、珊瑚和装饰华丽的马匹。其中一部分为书法，带有简短的题词“洪武乙丑冬至前二日获观钱玉谭职贡图因书其首 ”和五个印章，题签上书有“职贡图”。来源：来自英国私人收藏，购于1990年代。 31.5cm x 53cm; 35.5cm x 56cm; 35.5cm x 56cm
