New York, USA : Newsboy, [circa 1890]. Albumen print photograph, cabinet card format, 167 x 109 mm (mount); mount with the publisher's imprint and '73. Peter Jackson'; the image has lost some contrast, and the mount has a water stain at left edge (not affecting the albumen print) and a chipped corner. A rare studio portrait of the great black fighter Peter Jackson. Jackson arrived in Sydney from the Caribbean in 1880 and adopted Australia as his home. After winning the Australian heavyweight title in 1886 he fought in North America and England. Although he garnered a reputation as one of the finest boxers of his era, the colour of his skin ultimately played a part in preventing him from challenging for the world heavyweight championship. He died in Queensland at the age of just 40. The only original nineteenth-century photographs of Peter Jackson which Trove locates in Australian collections are held in the NLA. The following is Richard Broome's brief biography of Jackson in the ADB: 'Peter Jackson (1861-1901), boxer, was born on 3 July 1861 at Christiansted, St Croix, Virgin Island, West Indies, son of Peter Jackson, warehouseman, and his wife, and grandson of Jackson's freed slave Peter. [This last statement does not make sense. - ed.] He was well educated to primary level before going to sea. Landing in Sydney about 1880, he worked on the waterfront and in hotels before drifting into boxing in 1882 under the tuition of Larry Foley. Between 1883 and 1886 Jackson fought seven times, once with bare knuckles, only losing to the Australian champion Bill Farnham in 1884. After two years as an instructor at Foley's, he easily won the Australian heavyweight championship from Tom Lees in thirty rounds on 25 September 1886. Jackson's magnificently trained and proportioned physique, 6 ft 1½ ins (187 cm) tall and weighing 190 lbs (86 kg), gave him a rare combination of speed and strength. An intelligent boxer rather than a slugger, he possessed a marvellous feint, strong jabs and a masterly left-right combination. On 18 April 1888 he left for the United States of America and Britain. Jackson fought twenty-eight of the best men of England and America between 1888 and 1892, losing to none. The nearest he came to defeat was an eight-round draw in Melbourne on 21 October 1890 against Joe Goddard?he was undertrained and on a lightning visit to his adopted country, where he was fêted and accepted as an Australian. His most memorable fights were the 61-round, four-hour draw with James J. Corbett on 21 May 1891 at San Francisco and the hectic ten-round victory over fellow Australian Frank Slavin on 30 May 1892 in London. Jackson was one of the finest boxers never to fight for a world championship: John Sullivan refused to defend his title against a black and Corbett avoided Jackson once he gained the heavyweight crown in 1892. Termed the 'darkey' or worse early on, Jackson became known as 'Peter the Great' or 'The Black Prince'. He was always deemed a 'gentleman' and a 'real whiteman'. His great sportsmanship and modesty reflected his nature, and also was a role forced on him by the exigencies of a black fighter in a white world. His deference, good looks, fine speaking manner and skill made him universally popular: he was one of the few boxers, black or white, allowed to move freely in the National Sporting Club rooms in London. After 1892 Jackson was unable to obtain fights. Past his prime, he was debilitated by fast living and probably even then tubercular. He taught boxing, worked as a publican, toured as an actor in Uncle Tom's Cabin and boxed exhibitions. In March 1898 he was sacrificed to Jim Jeffries, who flattened him in three rounds, and next year suffered the third of his losses in thirty-seven fights at the hands of a fourth-rater at Vancouver. Money was raised to send him to Australia, where he toured with Fitzgerald's circus but he was too ill to box. After several benefits he was sent to Queensland where he died of tuberculosis at Roma on 13 July 1901. He was buried with Anglican rites and pomp in Toowong cemetery. A magnificent tomb was later erected by subscription with the words, 'This was a man'.".

First Edition of this biography of military commander John Lindsay, twentieth Earl of Crawford [1702-1749]. In 1735 he received permission to join the imperial army under Prince Eugéne, distinguishing himself in particular at the battle of Claussen. In April of 1738 he travelled to St. Petersburg, having received from the Czarina Anne Iwanowa the command of a regiment of horse with the rank of general, and joined the army of Marshal Munich, then engaged in a war against the Turks. "He soon acquired great proficiency in the mode of warfare practised by the Russians, and excited special admiration by his horsemanship and his prowess with the sword. After the retreat of Munich to Kiow, Crawford left him and joined the imperialists near Belgrade.In April he rejoined the imperialists at Peterwaradin under Marshal Wallis. At the battle of Krotzka, 22 July, 1739, he was so severely wounded by a musket ball in the left thigh, that for some time his life was despaired of, and his health was permanently injured.". (DCB) He later served under the Earl of Stair at Hoschstet, and commanded the brigade of life guards at Dettingen. With the rank of brigadier-general he joined the allied army near Brussels in May of 1744, and fought at the battle of Fontenoy in April of 1745. The following May he was made a major-general, and on the outbreak of the rebellion in Scotland, he was appointed by the government to command six thousand Hessian troops, with whom he secured the towns of Perth and Stirling, and the passes into the lowlands. He subsequently served for a brief period in the Netherlands.

An extensive miscellany gathering texts, some original, some copied or translated, concerning French military campaigns of the decades prior to 1860, especially in Russia, including the Napoleonic campaigns (the Battles of Smolensk and Moscow and the retreat from Moscow) and the French involvement in the Crimea (including the Siege of Sebastopol). The extracts include an almost hagiographical biography of Napoleon's aide de campe, General Drouot (1774-1847); translated passages from Louis Oliphant's Russian Shores of the Black Sea (1853) concerning Balaclava and Sebastopol; descriptions of Nicolaieff, Kerson Bay and Perekop and an account of an excursion in the North African desert. The last few pages of this last text have been carefully excised, and an explanation in another nineteenth-century hand to the following leaf explains: 'Les pages qui manquent, peut-être un peu légères, ont sans doute ete arachées par le B[ar]on de Potier leur transcripteur, après qu'il fut tombé dans la haute dévotion.'

Qu est-ce donc qui pourrait effrayer la justice et la délicatesse d un biographe, dans l existence d un homme qui a toujours réussi, au milieu d un monde où rien ne réussit autant que le succès ? Qu est-ce donc qui pourrait nous embarrasser, dans cette vie intime qui ressemble à un recueillement de la poésie, dans cette vie publique qui ressemble encore à un poème ?

What could frighten the justice and the delicacy of a biographer, in the existence of a man who has always succeeded, in the midst of a world where nothing succeeds so much as success? what then could embarrass us, in this private life which resembles a meditation on poetry, in this public life which still resembles a poem?

No binding. Etat : Good. Ampliação de fotografia a preto e branco, de Canto e Castro da autoria de Marques de Abreu. Lisboa. 1918. De 99,5x64 cm. montada sobre cartão. O Presidente da República, Vice-Almirante Canto e Castro, com o uniforme de gala da Armada Portuguesa, sentado numa cadeira estilo português do século XVII, com o braço direito repousando no respectivo braço da cadeira e com o braço esquerdo sobre a borda de uma mesa do mesmo estilo com uma chaminé de tijoleira em fundo. Fotografia que não é referida na principal bibliografia sobre este Presidente da República e que só foi reproduzida, em extratexto, entre as páginas 112 e 113, na biografia da autoria de Maurício de Oliveira publicada em 1944, que oferecemos para venda juntamente com a fotografia. Existe uma fotografia, que foi reproduzida em postais e na fotobiografia da autoria de Óscar Enrech Casaleiro com o mesmo uniforme e no mesmo cenário, mas em que Canto e Castro está de pé. Devido ao período muito conturbado em que exerceu funções, por não ter ambições políticas e devido ao seu carácter reservado e discreto, existem muito poucas fotografias do Presidente da República Canto e Castro, facto que valoriza muito esta rara fotografia de grande formato. Muito importante para a história da Primeira República, da iconografia da época, para o estudo da imagem e do estatuto do Presidente da República e para a história das fardas militares. João de Canto e Castro da Silva Antunes. (Lisboa, 19 de Maio de 1862 - 14 de Março de 1934) foi oficial da Armada e atingiu o posto de Almirante. Foi Governador de Moçambique em 1892 e deputado em 1908. Durante a República dirigiu a Escola de Alunos Marinheiros, em Leixões, chefiou o Departamento Marítimo do Norte e em 1915 dirigiu a Escola Prática de Artilharia Naval. Durante o governo de Sidónio Pais foi nomeado director dos Serviços do Estado-Maior Naval, Secretário de Estado da Marinha e Ministro da Marinha, cargo de que tomou posse a 9 de Setembro de 1918. Depois do assassinato de Sidónio Pais, desempenhou as funções de Presidente da República de 16 de Dezembro de 1918 a 5 de Outubro de 1919. O seu mandato foi marcado pela remoção do poder dos apoiantes de Sidónio Pais, pelo regresso ao governo do Partido Democrático e pela repressão das revoltas monárquicas, facto que causou grande tensão e desgaste a Canto e Castro, que era monárquico mas decidiu defender o regime republicano. Depois de deixar a Presidência da República exerceu os cargos de Presidente do Tribunal da Armada, em 1924 e de Presidente do Conselho Superior de Disciplina da Armada. em 1925. O fotógrafo José Antunes Marques Abreu (Pereira, Freguesia de Mouronho de Tábua 1879 - Porto 1958). em 1899, integra, como operador o atelier de zincogravura da "Fotografia Universal", instalada na rua de Cedofeita, tendo como director artístico Courrége. No atelier "Courrége & Peixoto" realizou as zincogravuras das revistas "Sombra e Luz" (1900-1902) e "Theatro Portuguez" (1902). Em 1901, dirigiu as oficinas de fotogravura do jornal "O Primeiro de Janeiro" e mais tarde passa apenas a dedicar-se às suas oficinas "Marques de Abreu zincogravura, fotogravura, símile-gravura", na Rua de S. Lázaro, n.º 336. De 1905 a 1912 publicou a colecção de monografias "Arte: Archivos de Obras de Arte", reproduzindo obras de Soares dos Reis, Bordalo, Teixeira Lopes, Sousa Pinto, mas também de Miguel Ângelo, Rubens, Rafael, Velázquez, acabando por se tornar num arquivo de obras artísticas nacionais e estrangeiras. A produção editorial de Marques Abreu foi diversificada, sendo de assinalar mais de 28 títulos, de que se pode destacar os "Álbum do Porto" e o "Álbum de Portugal"(1914), "Vila do Conde e o seu alfoz: origens e monumentos"(1923) e o álbum "Vida Rústica - Costumes e Paisagens"(1924). Também é de salientar a produção de zincogravuras para outros editores como o caso de Emílio Biel, na obra "O Douro", de Manuel Monteiro. Em 1914 o Ministro Prof. Alfredo de Magalhães, através da Portaria de 5 de Janeiro de 1914, apresenta publicamente testemunhos de louvor pelos ?(?) serviços que tem prestado à causa da Instrução Nacional, e pelo seu notável esforço editorial de eruditas monografias sobre arqueologia e história da "Arte Portuguesa"(?).? Em 17 de Dezembro de 1928, o Governo conferiu-lhe o Grau de Oficial da Ordem Militar de Santiago da Espada. Marques Abreu desde o início da sua actividade dedicou-se à gravura, sobretudo no campo da gravura química, especializando-se na zincogravura. Este processo veio permitir a edição de publicações ilustradas com grandes tiragens, nomeadamente periódicos. Marques Abreu foi um dos pioneiros dessa técnica entre nós. BIBLIOGRAFIA.
