1p, 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged, with traces of grey-paper mount on blank reverse, and minor discolouration at one edge from glue used. The actor Henry Leigh Murray (1820-1870) is identified in pencil as the recipient. The letter begins: 'My dear Sir, | You are quite welcome to a P[rivate]. Box if there is one to spare'. He asks him to 'call or send to Mr. Massingham at the Box Office at 1/2 past 4 o'clock who has received instructions to attend to your wishes, if all the Boxes are not let by that time'. Massingham was for upwards of forty years (from the 1790s to the 1830s) the door keeper at Drury Lane. The letter is accompanied by a cutting of a magazine article by Henry J. Byron, 'Charles Kean and the Utility Gentleman. A Reminiscence'.

This is an 1870 John Murray map of the Afar Country, comprising parts of modern-day Eritrea and Ethiopia. The map was created to accompany a The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society paper by Werner Munzinger. Dashed tracks follow Munzinger's groundbreaking exploration of the little known region. Munzinger's Travels Munzinger's peregrinations began at Amphilla and proceeded south through the Afar Country and across the Asali Salt Plain to Ala in the Desso Mountains. Munzinger and his companions then retraced their steps through the Desso Mountains before turning north along the foothills. They stopped in Misse on the Buri Peninsula along Annesley Bay, continued around the bottom of the bay, and then north to Massowa, their final destination. The map notes important geographic locations, particularly hills, wells, and settlements. Along the edge of the Salt Plain, wells and palm trees - indicators of water - are noted. Werner Munzinger Werner Munzinger (April 4, 1832 - November 14, 1875) was a Swiss administrator and explorer in the Horn of Africa. Born in Olten, Switzerland, Munzinger attended the University of Bern, Munich University, and the Sorbonne before moving to Cairo in 1852. After a year mastering Arabic, Munzinger entered a French mercantile house and participated in trading expeditions to the Red Sea. In 1865, he became the manager of the British Massawa consulate on the Ethiopian border, but, after the 1868 British invasion of Ethiopia, he remained in Massawa and became the French consul. In July 1870, after a failed attempt to broker the French annexation of Massawa, Munzinger left French service to explore the southern Arabian Peninsula. Not long after, he became the governor of the Keren region and Massawa, this time in service to the Egyptian government. Ultimatley, Minzinger was killed in battle during the 1875 Egyptian attack on Ethiopia.

Soft cover. Very good. Exhibits even overall toning and light wear along original fold lines. Bottom right margin extended. Size 10.75 x 13 Inches. This is an 1870 John Murray map of Manchuria, China - a region that within 20 years would become the stage for a global power struggle between Imperial Japan, Qing China, and Tzarist Russia. The map was drawn to accompany a paper written by Reverend Alexander Williamson and published in The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society . Parallel lines trace Williamson's travels through the region. Cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout, including Mukden (Shenyang). The region's impressive topography leaps off the page, and its extensive river network is well illustrated. Part of the Willow Palisade (labeled here as Barrier of Stakes or Palisade) appears and traverses a southwest-northeast line through the map's center. The Willow Palisade, a system of embankments and ditches planted with willows, was built by the Qing in the late 17th century and separated traditionally Manchu areas from Mongol territory. Alexander Williamson and Manchuria Alexander Williamson (December 5, 1829 - September 1890) was a Scottish Protestant missionary and member of the London Missionary Society, who spent years working, studying, and traveling in China. After attending Glasgow University, where he completed his theological studies, he applied to the London Missionary Society mission to China. Williamson traveled through Manchuria three times in the 1860s.
