Beschreibung

Not dated, circa 1920, 32mo, [20]pp, 2 plates, maroon buckram covers. In very good condition, with some foxing to the contents. A bound archive of extracts from newspaper articles etc recording the lives and achievements of members of the Land family - William Charles Land of York and Scarborough, his son Colonel William Henry Land of Halifax and his brother William Scott Land of York. Born in 1828, Land was educated in York and in 1843 he joined the North Eastern Railway as an apprentice engineer. After a brief spell with the South Eastern Railway he returned to York to take up a supervisory position with the North Eastern Railway. In 1855 he moved to Scarborough where he became a grocer, wine & spirit merchant and property developer. A prominent citizen, he was Mayor of Scarborough in 1878/79. He died in 1908. The archive includes Land's obituary, a report of his funeral, a report from St Martin's School of which he was a Governor etc, together with a report on his son's retirement from the 4th Battalion West Riding Regiment & his work in Halifax and a 1915 article from the Yorkshire Herald 'When Big Peter Came to York' which recounts the part Land's brother played in bringing the Big Peter bell to York when he was working for Pickfords. Colonel William Henry Land's daughter Dorothea married Joseph Herbert Phillips in 1912 and was the grandmother of Captain Mark Phillips, the former husband of the Princess Royal. The latest article in the archive is from 1915, hence my dating to circa 1920. UK postage for this item will be lower than the ABE default rate. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 4460

Anbieterinformationen

A member of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA), I have been a nearly full time bookseller since the mid 2000s working from home in Bristol. I concentrate on books on transport (mainly railways), industrial history, maritime, topography, the Beatles & other groups from the 1960s and interesting ephemera. I particularly specialise in official publicity of the British railway companies. I sell on ABE, on eBay under the moniker 'mr.publicity' and at book and transport collectors' fairs. I keep a modest stock of quality material which is constantly changing - I spend a good deal of my time travelling around the UK seeking out and acquiring new stock.
