Paperback, 136 pagina's / pages, ENG / NL / FR, 260 x 260 x 10 mm, New, 80 b/w photo's, . ISBN 9789461618443. Met deze reeks neemt Indra Laenens je mee op zijn 'imaginaire reis' door Wereldoorlog I. Vanuit zijn jeugdige fascinatie voor oorlogs-fotografie, vind je talrijke fotocollages met zelfportretten geïnspireerd door de volkse taferelen van Bruegel en de zwart-wit-fotografie van weleer met hun sterk informatieve karakter. De foto's uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog inspireren de fotograaf om waarheidsgetrouw te werken op gebied van emotie en beleving, maar met een eigen kijk op die momenten geïnspireerd door gidsenverhalen en boeken. Het principe van het dupliceren van het 'zelf' is meteen een onderzoek naar de limieten van het fotografische medium. Bovendien is het boek een sterke oproep tot vrede, tot 'no more war'. Officiële catalogus bij de tentoonstelling Imaginary Journey through WWI in Fort Liezele, Puurs-Sint-Amands, van 11 november 2022 tot en met 30 maart 2023. 610 g.

Canon of St Paul's and wit (1771-1845). One page, 4to, good. some damage, slightly affecting the text, staining (traces of mounting). Poor condiotion but legible. Smith outlines his travel plans, including a visit to his correspondent. He continues, "We talk of nothing now but bombarding [Opium Wars?] & it is supposed that Troy would have been under such a Cannonade have been taken in 15 or 20 minutes".

1p., 4to. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed on reverse, which carries traces of the wafer, to 'Colonel Bagot | Davies Street | Berkley [sic] Square | 34'. A short letter with a good, emphatic signature: 'My dear Sr. | I am very sorry you have so good a plea for absence - only remember on some future occasion that I shall not ask your Company as a favor but insist upon it as a right | ever yours | [signed] Sydney Smith | May. 12. 1842'. Perhaps concerning the same breakfast on 14 May 1842 to which Smith invited Georgiana Harcourt on 10 May 1842 (Letters, ed. N. C. Smith, vol.2, p.756).

3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged. The reverse of the second leaf laid down on part of leaf from an album, the other side of which carries an engraving of Lord Melbourne. The letter is endorsed '1838 Sept 7# | Lady Holland' on the reverse of the second learf, and at the head of the first page: 'R[eplied]. at Dalmeny | Septr. 12. 1838'. There is no salutation to the letter (which is also unsigned), but the reference to Dalmeny House would appear to suggest that the recipient was Archibald Primrose, 4th Earl of Rosebery, or his second wife, born Anne Margaret Anson. The handwriting is hard to decipher. It begins: 'I was very much obliged by your letter, glad you have [?] but I should have liked to have heard something of our old inmates [?] about whom I hardly knew anything - We performed our journey remarkably well. It was my first Essay for many Years with Post Horses, - and most successful it proved - We have [?] Sailed or embarked rather this Morning, but our Capt & the Commander of Packet [?] us to [?] embarked 24 hours as we could not make Calais, & the [?] is very heavy - I hope we shall not be out frying pan [?] Tomorrow - Write me a full letter which send by the Ambassadors Bag.' Lady Holland concludes her letter with a reference to Sydney Smith: 'S. Smith has written a Pamphlet on the Ballot, without Politicks & [?] fair bona fide discussion he is an anti-ballotist - tho' out of temper with Lord M[elbourne] he says he shall always Vote with the Whigs & says as to John he [?] him but must Chasten him - Some of my party are already Pale [last word underlined] | Yrs truly | [no signature].

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. On recto of first leaf of bifolium, the verso of the second leaf addressed, with two postmarks, to 'Mrs. William Smith / Park Street / Westminster'. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Annotations in pencil in a modern hand. He begins by apologising for not being able to 'come to your party on Monday', as he was 'forced to go to Bed[.] I always knock up the 2d or 3d Week of London - There is nothing in this World so fatiguing, and horrible as pleasure -'. He wonders whether it might not be possible that 'some persons for their Sins here will be doomed hereafter to four thousand Years of amusement [last five words underlined] namely 1000 of Morning Visits - 1000 Dining out - 1000 seeing pictures & Statues - 500 flirting and 500 routes - Total 4,000 -'. Signed, 'God bless you dear Madam / Sydney Smith'.

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. 'Many many thanks, my dear Ellis, for the kind present of your book, which, as soon as I am released from a torment of which you have had some experience, - correcting the press, I promise myself much pleasure and instruction in perusing. /As soon as my doggerel is printed, you may rely on having a copy. My best remembrance if you please to Lady Georgiana / Ever faithfully Yours / Henry Luttrell.' Which of Luttrell's or Ellis's books are referred to here is unclear. The letter must date from after 1822, the year of his marriage to Lady Georgiana Howard.

The four items in good condition, lightly aged, with stubs from mounts still adhering. The first three are bifoliums, carrying seals in red wax (that to the third letter broken). The second letter is addressed to her at Grosvenor Square; the third and fourth to her at Upper Brook Street. ONE: No place or date. [London, on paper with watermark of 'J GREEN & SON | 1824'.] 1p, 12mo. 'I am always sorry to quit London dear Mrs Cunliffe never more so than when by doing so I lose the opportunity of enjoying your Society this is in Rogers Style except that it is true' (the reference is to the poet Samuel Rogers). In a postscript he gives details of his forthcoming trip to Yorkshire, and asks, 'how is Lord Tavistock?' TWO: '3 Weymouth St'. No date (Smith was at this address around 1835). 1p, 12mo. He answered her letter of the previous day 'expressing my entire resolution to dine with you on the 28th. a resolution with the Wisdom of which the more I reflect upon it the more I am satisfied'. THREE: '33. Charles St Berkeley Sqre | April 31. 1839'. 1p, 12mo. 'I had been practicing [sic] Steps all the morning but was prevented by the lateness of London dinners from appearing at an hour which would have been decorous in a man of any Gravity'. FOUR: '56 Green St | Grosvenor Sqre | Feby 18 1842'. 1p, 4to. 'My dear Mrs Cunliffe | Pray select a better Messenger than Mrs Sydney she did not tell me of your party yesterday till I had gone to Bed - & added this morning that there was another Enemy but she could not tell which it was so that you see I am not ouly guiltless but ill used'.
