Item One: 12mo, 4 pp. On aged and foxed paper with slight wear causing loss to a couple of words of text. On two folded 4to leaves, with two pages written by Shepherd in German on the reverse. The list is undated, and the intended location is not named, but the voyage is a major one. Divided into sections including 'Saddles &c', 'Guns & Rods', 'Books' (beginning with 'Shakespeare - Ingoldby - Golden Treasure'), 'Food &c. Fortnum & Mason' (including two gallons of brandy and two quarts of whiskey). Other sections are headed with what are presumably the names of fellow-travellers: 'Edginton' and 'Edminston', 'Nigretti Zambesi, Cassella &c'. The 'Collecting Materials' section reads 'Cases from 35 Charles St. Middlesex Hos. Extra Knives. Cotton Wool. (Plaster of Paris. little) large Scissors. Arsenical Soap & Brushes'. Shepherd toured Iceland in the spring and summer of 1862. His account of the voyage, 'The North-West Peninsula of Iceland', was published five years later. Item Two: Itinerary and list of requisites, in different hand from Item One, apparently for an Alpine tour. 4to, 2 pp. On aged and foxed paper. Itinerary on page headed 'Chamouni 5th Sunday'. List of places, days of week, and number of month, from 'Paris. Wednesday 7.' to 'Zermatt Sun:'. The reverse carries the list of requisites, in two columns.

Manuscrit / Papier ancien
The Earl of Darnley's four letters (all signed 'Darnley') total 27 pp in 12mo; Lady Darnley's eight letters (all signed 'H. Darnley') total 26 pp in 12mo. All items in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Darnley's first letter, 16 September 1853 (12mo, 12 pp), is unusually blunt for the period, and revealing on the etiquette of the period. It begins: 'I trust that the change in your mode of addressing me was accidental, and I have therefore not imitated it, and have used one word which you omitted [presumably 'Dear']. I have ascertained by a reference to my pigeonholes that I am not mistaken as to there being a change, and am therefore very anxious to have your assurance that it was not intentional.' The letter has resulted from an argument over the interpretation of an act of parliament, with Darnley accusing Shepherd of being 'the party who declined resisting the appeal made by the Cobham Vestry against the decision of the Magistrates': He reminds Shepherd that he 'copied out the clause verbatim, and distinctly specified the act, chapter, and section, and proceeded to demonstrate by the most simple and intelligible process of induction, that the spirit of the act of Parliament was not as Mr. Hayward interpreted it; and I added that the Lord Chancellor himself wd. never convince me to the contrary. [.] Had I not been writing to one whom I decided to be of a logical mind and a reasonable disposition, I should not have taken so much trouble to argue my case, and I can hardly suppose that you will content yourself with evading the question at issue, having neither impugned my premises nor in anywise disproved my conclusions.' He refers to 'two gentlemen influencing a Vestry to prevent [Darnley] having 130 yards of road widened' 'As I said before, at your house, I was not, at the time of the Vestry meeting, aware that you were the real prosecutor of the Cobham Surveyor [Shearman]; I thought it was all Mr. Barber's doing'. He considers that 'a prosecution apparently so vindictive, the retrospective and penal character of which indicated, - or rather I should say appeared to indicate, - rather a feeling of personal animosity to the Parish of Cobham than a desire to attain any beneficial object.' The other three letters from Darnley total 15 pages in 12mo. Two, from 1855, concern 'rates and valuations' set (illegally, in Darnley's view) by 'Mr. Barber'. The last item is undated; it acknowledges Shepherd's congratulations on the birth of one of the Darnleys' five daughters. None of Lady Darnley's letters is dated; one is in an envelope with a penny lilac stamp postmarked 1889. Shepherd was a noted naturalist, and her letters reflect a shared interest in natural history. Topics include: his gift of 'curious' orchises; 'Macmillan's book', with 'chapters on Trees and Stars', which she has found for Shepherd at Hatchard's; her gift of 'green winged orchises' ('I have found them in meadows in Suffolk in great numbers, & in various shades of colour - we also found Adder's tongue, and what we think to be Haut bois [sic] Strawberry'); his 'beautiful blue pimpernel'; 'Canon Colson's letter', the 'antiquarian part' of which will interest Shepherd, but which she does not want returned ('I don't think it is at all interesting to hear about bones.'); her son Lord Clifton's letter in the 'Field', 'about his golden Orchis and Hoopoe'. In one letter ('Cobham | Wednesday') she lists Shepherd's 'different visits' to the Darnleys: 'The first in 1879 - when you met my Father and we went to some wood expeditions | 1881 was the Yellowley time - | 1882 Miss Lee Warner | 1886 - you me the Hablers here - I should be so glad if you could come here every year as long as we are all alive! - I think a yearly visit is so satisfactory'. The Autograph Card Signed is in an envelope with Gravesend postmark of 1891. She thanks him for the botanical information ('Clifton was puzzled at first'), and is 'wickedly rejoicing' in his 'being beaten by Fusca'. Also present are five printed invitations for Shepherd to the Countess's 'At Homes'. A final item is an invitation to Shepherd to an 'At Home' of Lord Darnley's sister Lady Isabel Bligh.

All 4to, with the letters totalling 22 pp (twenty-two), and the list of 'Funghi, East Kent' of 15 pp. All items clear and complete. Three leaves with light staining (one with short closed tear), otherwise all in good condition, on aged paper. All three in envelopes (lacking stamps), addressed by Clifton and with his seal in red wax. ONE. 4 October 1889. 4to, 12 pp. Begins: 'It seems a long time since we had a ramble on the Cuxton and Ralling hills from Cobham, and when I killed a viper; and I have been much amused at the apparent incredulity of a brother B.O.U. at the Dumpton Park rarities! There would seem to be some little confusion between you and my mother on two points, viz. how much occurred in my garden, and how much in the outer park, which is 55 acres, or nearly'. In the rest of the letter Clfiton discusses Kentish flora and birds. 'I have been tenant since June 1884 - one or two of my rarities have come to nothing, e.g. Bonaparte's fall (immature) last year.' Reference to 'a very handsome bird till the birdstuffer (a wretch named Davis of Dartford) spoilt it by wrenching off the bristles'. TWO. 22 August 1891. 4to, 2 pp. His sisters have told him that Shepherd is 'very fond of funghi', so he is enclosing 'a list of 80 funghi or fungus-like cryptogams'.

4to, 5 pp, on five loose and uniform leaves. Very good, on lightly aged paper. The first leaf is headed 'C. W. S. Acc' and is initialled at the foot 'Rt C. Wm. S.' The second is headed 'Sheet (2)', with the rest numbered 3 to 5. It is clear from sheets 2 to 5 that one leaf - what should have been 'Sheet (1)' - is lacking. Provides a fascinating insight into the practicalities of British nineteenth-century exploration, and compliments Shepherd's 'The North-West Peninsula of Iceland: being the journal of a tour in Iceland in the spring and summer of 1862', published by Longmans, Green and Co. in 1867. In April of 1862, with 'certain ornithological inquiries in view', Shepherd travelled from England to Iceland on the Arcturus, 'in the company of my friends Mr. H. M. Upcher, of Sherringham Hall, Norfolk, and Mr. G. G. Fowler, of Gunton Hall, Suffolk'. The accounts include advances 'To Fowler' and 'To Upcher'. The first page carries columns of credits and debits, including £8 0s 1d received 'from the Sale of Ponies'. (Shepherd's book ends with a description of the sale of '[o]ur stud', but does not give the total fetched by the sale.) The other four pages provide itemised entries (around 25 to a page) for the expenditure on the trip. These include £5 to 'Frenchman and Man to row us ashore', £6 'To men who rowed to Surtobrand and took us on board the Metha', £1 to 'Boy with eggs at Holar', £14 to 'Exchange horse that fell into the river at ', 3s to 'Boy for lost Tackle Bag', and, on the group's return, 2s 6d for 'Beer at Adelphi'. From the Shepherd family archives.

Etat : Very Good. On offer is a remarkable, original archive including a manuscript travel journal/log and related ephemera of an early 1861 voyage to the North Frisian Islands of Amrum, Sylt, Föhr, Hoog, Norderoog, then Husum and Hamburg Germany by the noted author and ornithologist Rev. Charles William Shepherd. This historical archive consists of the personal handwritten journal, map, letters, receipts and photographs, all contained in a period archival portfolio, and in very good condition: 1) Journal measuring approximately 12cm x 19cm, written very legibly in pencil, 52 pages together with itinerary of islands visited and list of birds seen; 2) two small photographs of a local fisherman and ship on a beach; 3) one color map, 32cm x 45cm approximately, showing the North Frisian Islands as part of Denmark; 4) 3-page folio contract and cover letter to hire a ship with captain and crew; 5) three detailed letters (12 pp) reporting on Amrum and Husum; 6) seven handwritten hotel receipts with itemized list of lodgings and food consumed; 7) a notecard with farewell poem, being a tribute to the Islands (as mentioned in the journal); 8) other various ephemeral items such as tickets, vouchers etc. add further depth to this super relic of the historic area once the property of the Kingdom of Denmark, now a German holding. Shepherd visited the North Frisian Islands aboard the ship 'Pauline'. His keen observations of the local geography and people as well as the bird life on these islands is totally unique as a eyewitness account of this interesting historical area. He also visits some 'halligen' (salt marsh islands without embankments) such as Beenshallig. He notes the abundance of bird life and quotes the Captain's observations that the islands get smaller and smaller every year. In fact Beenshallig which was located south of Gröde completely disappeared by the end of the 19th century. Researchers and historians of the area will note that while his main focus is on birds his journal is full of details of local colour: he is invited to a wedding party; notes the costumes of the locals; description of the unique thatched houses as well as a list of birds seen and ornithological work performed on this voyage. Shepherd kept much detail of his traveling expenses providing another parallel source of information and affords the reader with good insight into the practicalities of exploration during the mid 1800's. Of note are the 3-page folio contract to hire the ship and the hotel bills from Victoria Hotel in Tönning, Groot's Hotel in Keitum auf Sylt and Thomas Hotel in Husum. BIO NOTES: Rev. Charles William Shepherd of Trotterscliffe and of Trinity College, Cambridge was an ornithologist and traveler who traveled widely in search of ornithological specimens. Shepherd was also the author of the book The North-West Peninsular of Iceland: Being the Journal of a Tour in Iceland in the Spring and Summer of 1862 (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1867). A rare and unique capture of North Frisian island life in the middle of the 19th century. Overall VG. Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Manuscript.
