Folio (ca. 217 x 321 mm). 2 vols. French manuscript on paper (a few passages in English). 65 pp.; 76-106, (3) pp. Includes a total of 75 blank ff.; several pages blank except for pagination. Contemporary blue full cloth. Marbled endpapers. Anonymous journal of the voyage of the steamer "Archimède" to the Far East between 1844 and 1846 as part of a diplomatic mission to Qing-China led by Théodose de Lagrené (1800-62), aiming to reach a contract similar to the 1842 Treaty of Nankin with the British. The mission was a success: the Treaty of Whampoa, which resulted in the opening of five Chinese ports for trade with the West, was signed aboard the "Archimède" on 24 October 1844. The commercial delegation aboard the ship under the command of admiral François-Edmond Pâris were charged with studying local industries and the potential of selling French goods to the East Asian market, a mission that led them to explore much of Indonesia as well as Calcutta in 1846. - The first volume covers the voyage from Macao to Singapore and Penang, then on to Calcutta in January and February 1846. It opens with several specifications of the ship, including loading and machinery, before going on to describe its voyage in Indonesia, mentioning a bay in the Anambas archipelago named after Pâris, who mapped part of the archipelago as an ensign aboard the corvet "Favorite" in 1830: "Dans la matinée du 19 depuis 5h 30' jusqu'à midi on fait des routes diverses pour entrer et sortir de l'archipel des Anambas que le commandant a la complaisance de nous faire visiter. En 1830 enseigne de Vaisseau sur la corvette La Favorite il a dressé la carte d'une partie de cet archipel en il nous mène jusqu'au fond de la bai nommé d'après lui Pâris" (p. 4). The account of Calcutta evinces a great fascination with the place, as the writer clearly admires its transformation from a small village to a centre of commerce and the capital of an Empire: "Quant à la ville de Calcutta elle même, la ville des Palais, City of Palaces, il me serait difficile d'exprimer convenablement l'antipathie, l'aversion qu'elle m'a inspiré. Certes il est difficile de ne pas admirer l'étonnante fortune de cette place qui n'était pas plus qu'un pauvre village il y a un siècle et qu'est aujourd'hui l'une des grandes places de commerce du monde & et la capitale d'un grand Empire" (p. 55f.). The description of Calcutta includes a bird's-eye pencil sketch of the Raj Bhavan, today the residence of the governor of West Bengal, deeming it "completely lacking in style" (p. 58f., transl.). - The second volume comprises notes on Hindu-Chinese countries, Cochinchina and Siam drawn from local periodicals, namely the "Singapore Chronicle" and the "Calcutta Journal". A separate list gives the composition of the population of Bangkok in 1828, indicating that the 800 Christians living there were mostly descendants from the Portuguese. - Bindings slightly rubbed and a little cockled in places; lightly bumped at extremities. In contrast to Pâris's journals of the Archimède campaign in 1844 and 1845, held at the Musée national de la Marine in Paris, the present set reflects the later, lesser-known part of the expedition in early 1846. - Barron, "La corvette à vapeur l'Archimède au bout du monde, allegro ma non troppo", in: Chronique d'histoire maritime (Commission française d'histoire maritime; Société française d'histoire maritime, 2016), pp. 67-83.

2 volumes. Remarkable journal of the voyage of the Archimède steamer, written during a diplomatic mission of the Kingdom of France to Qing-China (1844-1846) led by diplomat Théodose de Lagrené (1800-1862). It was undertaken with the goal to be given the same privileges as the British in the Treaty of Nanking. The mission was a success and the French signed their own treaty with China, the Treaty of Whampoa, aboard the Archimède on 24 October 1844, which resulted in the opening of five Chinese ports for French merchants. However, the mission was not yet finished, as the delegation had also been tasked to study the local industries and the potential of selling French goods to the East Asian market, which led them to explore much of Indonesia as well as Calcutta in 1846. The present journal discusses this second, lesser-known part of the expedition.The first volume covers the voyage from Macao to Singapore and Penang, then on to Calcutta in January and February 1846. It opens with several specifications of the ship, including loading and machinery, and then describes its voyage in Indonesia, mentioning a bay in the Anambas archipelago named after François-Edmond Pâris (1806-1893), captain of the Archimède, who had mapped part of the archipelago as an ensign aboard the corvette La Favorite in 1830: "Dans la matinée du 19 depuis 5h 30' jusqu'à midi on fait des routes diverses pour entrer et sortir de l'archipel des Anambas que le commandant a la complaisance de nous faire visiter. En 1830 enseigne de Vaisseau sur la corvette La Favorite il a dressé la carte d'une partie de cet archipel en il nous mène jusqu'au fond de la bai nommé d'après lui Pâris" (p. 4).

Second Draft script for the 1993 film, INSCRIBED by screenwriter and author T.E.D. Klein, on the title page. Theodore 'Eibon' Donald Klein (T.E.D. Klein) is an American horror writer and editor, who, despite his sparse output, is highly regarded for his meticulous prose and provocative essays. He was the acclaimed editor of The Twilight Zone Magazine from 1981 to 1985, and author of the bestselling novel "The Ceremonies" (1984), and the award winning four novella collection "Dark Gods" (1985). "Trauma" is his only screenplay. Dario Argento's underrated first feature-length American production, a giallo horror film wherein Asia Argento stars as Aura, an anorexic young woman, who, with the help of her new young lover David, searches for "The Headhunter" killer responsible for the beheading of both of her parents. Asia Argento's character was partly inspired by her half-sister Anna, who suffered from anorexia and died in a scooter accident shortly before the film's release (and is seen during the closing credits sequence). Featuring memorable performances from Piper Laurie, Frederic Forrest, and Brad Dourif. Set in Minneapolis, shot on location in Minneapolis, Hopkins, and St. Paul, Minnesota. Self wrappers with front wrapper integral with title page, dated April 1992, noted as SECOND DRAFT, with credits for screenwriter T.E.D.

Classified material from the first significant US joint-intelligence programme, each with the lead researcher's ownership signature ("Capt. H. Kuhlenbeck") at the head of the front wrapper and all but the first identified as a "contributor's advance copy" in his hand. Established in 1943, the JANIS programme produced comprehensive reports on different strategic theatres and involved personnel from military, naval, and air intelligence, as well as the Office of Strategic Services and the Office Chief of Engineers. For each area, either a country or a subregion, JANIS operatives compiled briefings on geography, climate, demographics, communications, military facilities, and health and sanitation. By the end of the war, the reports had become the model for all strategic intelligence work and long-term planning. In 1947, the programme was absorbed into the CIA. A naturalized American citizen, Hartwig Kuhlenbeck (1897-1984) was recruited into the US Army Medical Corps in 1944 at the rank of captain. Having travelled in Asia and been a visiting professor in Tokyo in the 1920s, he was assigned to the Office of the Surgeon General as an expert in health and sanitation in East Asia. His reports, here on Manchuria, China, and parts of Japan, provide assessments and recommendations concerning environmental conditions, public health facilities, and the spread of major diseases. For the China, East Coast volume, he was assisted by Dr E. A. Struthers, a British medical officer in Malaya. Kuhlenbeck remained with JANIS until 1946, returning to his successful academic career shortly after a promotion to major. Loosely inserted in three of the works are memoranda from the Joint Intelligence Study Publishing Board that list the programme's participating personnel. Kuhlenbeck is identified as the lead for the health reports and reachable on a War Department landline. 7 works, folio. With folding maps in 2 works, illustrations and tables in text; 3 works with loosely inserted memorandum. Original buff card front covers printed in black, hole-punched as issued. Housed in custom green cloth portfolio, spine lettered in gilt. General signs of handling, some wrappers toned: a well-preserved collection.
