Naval General Service 1793-1840, 2 clasps, Banda Neira, Java (George Manning.) good very fine £3,000-£4,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Approximately 68 clasps issued for Banda Neira and about 25 medals with both clasps. George Manning is confirmed as a Landsman aboard Caroline at both actions. Captain Christopher Cole, commanding the Caroline and the senior officer present, was awarded a gold medal for the successful operations which resulted in the capture of the island of Banda Neira from the Dutch and the surrender of 1500 troops. George Manning was born in Bristol and was aged 22 when he joined from the frigate Doris at Madras on 20 April 1810. He had ‘volunteered’ for Doris on 24 June 1807, aged 19, from the True Briton, Indiaman. No doubt True Briton had been intercepted by Doris and some of her crew pressed, who, making the most of a bad job, would ‘volunteer’ to get the bounty. As a landsman he would have been of little skill as a sailor and he was discharged to the receiving ship Royal William in Portsmouth harbour on 19 January 1812, when all trace of him is lost.

Not in Abbey.Estimate £25,000-35,000A scarce coloured edition of Emily Eden's major work, one of just a handful of copies published in this particular format. Emily Eden, the seventh daughter of William Eden, first baron Auckland, accompanied her brother, George Eden, 1st Earl of Auckland (1784-1849), during his tenure as Governor-General of India from 1835 to 1842. A gifted amateur artist and writer, Eden documented her experiences in India through letters and an extensive collection of sketches. Upon her return to England in 1842, Eden privately arranged for the printing of her images as a portfolio of 24 lithographs, known as "Portraits," which was published in 1844 in four parts. While the majority of copies were issued without colouration, a select few, including the present edition, were beautifully hand-coloured. In addition to the "Portraits," Eden's journal, "Up the Country: Letters Written to her Sister from the Upper Provinces of India," was published in 1866.The "Portraits" by Eden feature detailed depictions and accompanying textual descriptions of various Indian rulers and their families, whom Lord Auckland encountered during his term in office. Initially residing in Calcutta, Lord Auckland and his entourage travelled through the Upper Provinces from October 1837 to February 1840, engaging with princely subjects. Notable individuals met and portrayed by Eden during this tour included the Maharaja Ranjit Singh, founder of the Sikh empire and ruler of the Punjab until his death in 1839, his second son, the Maharaja Sher Singh, ruler of the Punjab 1841-1843, the Raja of Nahun, the Raja of Patiala, and Raja Hira Singh, son of the Prime Minister of the Punjab. The richness and splendour of the Indian Princes are deftly captured in this fine work.Depictions also include servants attached to Government House, and their families, part of a 12,000-strong retinue accompanying Lord Auckland and party up the country. There are additional depictions of figures that Emily Eden observed along the way - Pathans, Tibetans and others.Portraits of the Princes and Peoples of India - Front and rear boards faded, especially to 10cm. strip to right side of front board.List of Plates with some loss and tears to right side.Title borders browned, coloured image good.The plates - with very few exceptions the images are remarkably bright and unaffected by spotting, as are the captions mounted verso.Plate borders are spotted, as are the areas surrounding the captions.Worming noted to top right margin of plate 14 Commentary leaves generally good - a few with close tears to margins.

They stayed in Calcutta at first, but then between October 1837 and February 1840 toured through Oudh and the hill regions. They visited (along with their sister, Fanny) the court of Ranjit Singh in 1838 at what was perhaps its high point, though it was soon to fall into internecine and murderous faction fighting. Eden recorded her impression both in writing, in an extensive collection of letters, and in sketches, which on her return to England in 1842 she worked up and then had printed privately as a set of 24 lithographs. The Portraits was published in 1844 in four parts in wrappers. Most were in monochrome except for a few beautifully hand-coloured copies, of which the present lot is one. Her written accounts were also published as Up the Country: Letters written to her sister from the Upper Provinces of India by the Hon. Emily Eden, 1866.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Emily Eden (1797-1869) 'Portraits of the Princes and Peoples of India by the Honble. Miss Eden/Drawn on the Stone by L. Dickinson' with hand-coloured lithographed title page depicting the son of the Nawab of Banda, and twenty-four hand-coloured lithographed plates by Lowes Dickinson, heightened with watercolour and bodycolour, each with printed caption below the image, printed on card, printed by Charles Hullmandel, published by J Dickinson, London, 1844 unbound, in a portfolio card 52 x 37cm Emily Eden (1797-1869), the seventh daughter of William Eden, 1st Baron Auckland, was a novelist, gifted artist and traveller. She journeyed to India in 1836 with her sister Fanny to join their brother George, Lord Auckland, who was Governor-General between 1835 and 1842, and proceeded to write entertaining accounts of her time there. These were full of local colour and included descriptions of ceremonies and social functions, witty observations and, on occasion, she gave perceptive insights into significant political events. After a stay in Calcutta, Emily and her two siblings toured through Oudh and the Upper Provinces between October 1837 and February 1840, when she recorded their experiences in letters and sketched the people and places they visited. On her return to England in 1842, Emily worked up a number of the sketches, which she then had printed privately and published in four parts in the 'Portraits'. Most copies were issued in monochrome, but a few were enhanced by exquisite hand-colouring, of which the work offered here is one. The collection of twenty-four lithographs includes not only celebrated princely figures, such as the Maharaja Ranjit Singh, whom she met in 1838, and the King of the Punjab, Maharaja Sher Singh, but also members of their families, servants at Government House and various religious figures. On her meeting with Ranjit Singh, she presented him with her sketch of a portrait of Queen Victoria, with whom she corresponded, in her coronation robes. The superb quality of the plates and the freshness of the hand-colouring capture the magnificence of the artist's subjects and their entourage, and the images include caparisoned elephants, horses from the Mararajas’ stables, hawks and even hunting leopards, a gift to Lord Auckland from the King of Oudh. Condition ReportThe sheets are unbound in a portfolio and the corners are slightly worn with some small rips and tears to the edges. Some light time staining with dirty marks and smudges to the margins. Overall the printed areas appear to be in generally good condition. The sheets printed with text are foxed.

George H. Phillips after William Owen R.A., proof mezzotint, 'Captain Sir Christopher Cole R.N.', visible sheet 72 x 56cm Captain Sir Christopher Cole KCB (1770 – 1836) was an officer of the British Royal Navy who served in the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. Although he saw distinguished service in all three conflicts, he is best known for his exploits in the Dutch East Indies in 1810 and 1811, in which he was instrumental in the capture of the islands of Amboyna and Java. Cole's early career involved extensive service in the Caribbean Sea, operating against the French during the last years of the American Revolutionary Wars and serving in several large battles. During the peace that followed, Cole remained in the Navy and forged a working relationship with Captain Edward Pellew that would last two decades.During his later career, Cole was commended for his service on operations in Surinam, and was praised in 1808 for his part in a successful diplomatic mission to Fath Ali Shah, the ruler of Persia, although the aftermath of the mission would lead to a breakdown in his relationship with Pellew, by this time the British commander in the Indian Ocean. In 1810, Cole was sent to the Dutch East Indies during a campaign to seize the Spice Islands and launched an attack on the well-fortified island of Banda Neira. Despite a disastrous start to the operation, Cole personally led a tiny force of men into the main fortress on the island and captured it, prompting a total surrender. This was followed in 1811 with an invasion of Java, which Cole planned and successfully executed. Highly praised and well rewarded for his service, Cole entered politics at the end of the war and twice sat as a member of parliament before his death in 1836.

MARTI JOSE & ESTRADA PALMA TOMAS: José Martí (1853-1895) Cuban Poet, Writer and Revolutionary Philosopher. Martí is considered a national hero as well as a leading figure in Latin American literature. He became a symbol for Cuba's fight for independence in the 19th century, and is referred to as the ''Apostle of Cuban Independence''; & Tomas Estrada Palma (1835-1908) First President of Cuba 1902-1906, and previously during the Ten Year´s War. Remembered for allowing the Platt Amendment which ensured American dominance over Cuba. An exceptional and very attractive multiple signed D.S., `Jose Martí´, and `T. Estrada Palma´, four pages, large folio, New York, 10th May 1893 and 27th January 1895, to Rafael Cortes and to Manuel Ruiz, in Spanish. The partially printed document bears the printed heading of the New York delegation of the Cuban Revolutionary party, being a title given to contributors in favour of the cause, ''Patriotic Assistance - Fundraising - To finance the Independence and for the Freedom of Cuba''. The attractive document, printed in green, bears large palms to front page borders and coats of arms to the front heading and to the verso. The document is signed by Marti and Estrada Palma in their capacity as delegates and is also signed by Gonzalo de Quesada as Secretary of the delegation. The lengthy written text, entitled ''The Cuban Revolution'', is a manifesto in favour of Cuban Independence and freedom, against the Spanish occupancy and slavery, stating in part `Cuba se ha alzado en armas con el sacrificio y la solemne determinacion de la muerte, no para interrumpir con patriotismo fanatico por el ideal insuficiente de la independencia politica de España. El Desarrollo de un pueblo que hubiera podido llegar en paz a su madurez…´ (Translation: “Cuba has taken up arms with sacrifice and the with the solemn determination of death, not to interrupt with fanatical patriotism the insufficient ideal of political independence from Spain. The development of a people that could have reached maturity in peace…”) The document bears beneath the signatures a large beige paper seal affixed of the Delegation of the Cuban Revolutionary Party. To the second sheet, another title given to contributors in favour of the cause, the light image affixed to the front, shows Martí, Cespedes, Teodoro Perez, and many other revolutionary leaders at the balcony of Teodoro Perez´ home, known as La Te Da, on 1st of May 1893 in Key West. This small island was the capital of the Cuban exile at the time.  Bearing to the verso an attractive map of Cuba. Small overall age wear, with a very small hole to the first sheet, not affecting the text or images. Small remnants of a former red wax seal to the verso of the second sheet. G to VG    The present document is signed by Jose Marti on 23rd-27th January 1895, only a few days before drawing up the Uprising order. A month later, on 24th February, the uprising took place, and three months later Marti was killed at the battle of Dos Rios only a month after having returned to Cuba. Gonzalo de Quesada y Arostegui (1868-1915) was the key architect of Cuba´s Independence Movement with Jose Marti. Appointed Special Commissioner of Cuba to the United States in 1900. He later entered the diplomatic service, becoming Minister to the United States. De Quesada authored ''A History of Free Cuba'' (1898) and ''Cuba'' (1905). He also edited Marti's literary works 1900-11. In the early 1890s, Key West's poet-patriot hero Jose Martí started visiting the island, raising money and trying to unite the different exile groups that wanted to overthrow Cuba's Spanish rulers. There was a routine every time Martí came to town. It was like a holiday in town. About 5,000 people would go to the port to wait for him. There was a music band in San Carlos called La Banda Libertad (“The Freedom Band”), a band that would go to the port. The port was full of American and Cuban flags. They would parade him down Duval Street from the port, past the San Carlos, all the way to La Te Da. That is why that place is called La Te Da, because the Cubans would call that place Martí's Terrace, “La Terraza de Martí". And that name got shortened to La Te Da. In the same way as Key West became Key West from Cayo Hueso. Today La Te Da is a guesthouse that hosts drag shows and tea dances. Back then, it was the home of Teodoro Perez, a cigar factory owner and friend of Martí.
