Letter: 1p., 8vo. In fair condition, lightly creased and aged. With a few autograph emendations. In a characteristically eccentric letter he writes that their common friend Jimmy Linton has told Bowman that Duncan 'may be able to give me some particulars and perhaps a photo of Edith LORAINE who played Godiva in F. B. Woulfe's Company, presenting the famous historical play by Max Goldberg, (John F. Preston.) He refers to Mabelle F. Barlow, Lady Astor and his own play 'Divorce or Dishonour'. As a boy he was greatly impressed by Loraine's performance, and it 'started my interest in Coventry. As President of The Animal Service Association, I am still very attached to white horses. [.] Edith had a tragic finish on Armistice Night, 1918, falling from a London balcony.' Badge: Circular and 2cm in diameter. Printed in brown on cream. In good condition, with slight rusting to the metal reverse, which has transferred slightly to the letter, on which it is pinned. Showing 'SHAKESPEARE SOUVENIR | A MAKE-UP IMRESSION | FREDERICK H. U. BOWMAN'. Bowman also produced a series of fake postage stamps, with him made up to look like the monarch. For more on Bowman see A. W. B. Simpson's 'In the Highest Degree Odious' (1994). Bowman received his 'knighthood' from Count Potocki de Montalk in March 1943, and was deprived of it the following year for alleged lèse majesté and breach of his oath of fealty. As the present letter indicates, this did not prevent him from continuing to use his 'title'.…

BOOK RESUME: Travels in Tartary, Thibet and China is one of the most famous 19th-century missionary travel narratives describing the vast cultural landscapes of Central Asia in the mid-1800s. Written by two French Lazarist missionaries, the work chronicles their remarkable overland journey from Peking across Mongolia, northern Tibet, and the remote regions of western China between 1844 and 1846. The narrative provides detailed first-hand observations of Mongol nomadic life, Tibetan Buddhist practices, local customs, trade routes, and political conditions at a time when these regions were largely closed to Western travellers. Their clandestine entry into Lhasa and subsequent expulsion became one of the most celebrated episodes in early Western exploration of Tibet. The book remains an important historical account for its vivid ethnographic detail, its adventurous narrative, and its early Western perspective on Inner Asia.…

When Pope Gregory XVI decided to establish an Apostolic Vicariat in Mongolia, it was unsurprisingly not he who journeyed to this far-flung and little-known location in order to ascertain the nature and extent of his new diocese, but rather two French Lazarists: Joseph Gabet (1808-1853), a fluent Chinese speaker who had been in Macao since 1835, and Évariste Régis Huc (1813-1860), who had arrived in Macao in 1839. Setting out from Peking (Beijing), the missionaries journeyed westwards passing through what is now Inner Mongolia and Gansu province before eventually reaching Tibet: in the process Gabet and Huc may well have been the first Europeans since Thomas Manning in the first decade of the nineteenth century to enter the Tibetan holy city of Lhasa, which they did in January 1846. Huc's description of this journey, first published in French in 1850, remains a picturesque and valuable source for understanding nineteenth-century European attitudes to Tartar and Tibetan culture and customs. It appears that their journey was also of similar interest to contemporaries: even Lord Palmerston was sent a copy of Gabet's reports (see preface). This copy is the second edition of the English translation by the lawyer and author William Hazlitt (1811-1893), son of the famous writer of the same name; it is largely identical to the first, which was published in the same year, and features almost 100 beautiful woodcuts, as well as a map detailing the route the two French missionaries took. It is based on the 1850 French text (a second French edition was published in 1853): the only difference is the English preface, which, while sharing the Lazarists' enthusiasm for exploration, fails to share their loyalty to the papacy: 'thus it is', writes Hazlitt, 'that to Papal aggression in the East, the Western World is indebted for a work exhibiting, for the first time, a complete representation of countries previously almost unknown to Europeans, and indeed considered practically inaccessible'.
