This sensational Portfolio was published in the final years of British Colonialism on Trinidad and the captions verso the photographs are interesting reminders of "British Possessions" (find this wording on Image No.8) Photographs included (and with the captions, printed verso the photographs) are: 1. "Port-of-Spain Harbour" (Photograph by W. Minshall) - This is No.1 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures. "Before the construction of the deep-water quay, ocean-going steamers anchored three or four miles from Port-of-Spain, in the Gulf of Paria, and were serviced by launches for passengers and lighters for cargo. The new harbour, started in 1935 and completed in 1939 at a cost of nearly $5.000,000 provides a quay 3,300 feet long with 30 feet of water at dead low tide. 2. "Ruby Topaz - Humming Bird" (Photograph by R.E.Johnson) - This is No.2 in the "Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "Trinidad was called lere- "Land of Humming Bird" by its aboriginal Indian inhabitants long before white men knew of its existence. To-day there are seventeen species of humming bird on record, present everywhere although no longer seen by thousands as recorded barely a century ago. Certain species have their favourite habitats, the "Ruby Topaz" being found most frequently at the fringe of the forests." 3. "The Queen's Park Hotel" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.3 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "It is difficult to write about a city that is in a period of transition. Tod-day's relities may be to-morrow's memories. Hotels, restaurants, shops - everything changes. Queen's PArk Hotel, a rambling wooden structure now - the most famous hotel in the West Indies - may be a skyscraper before you read this" [Eleanor Early in "Ports of the Sun" (1937)]. 4. "The Governor's Residence" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.4 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "Officially called Government House - the familiar "G.H." of all British colonies - the Governor's residence in Port-of-Spain is situated in spacious grounds adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens. It was built in 1874-75". 5. "East Indian Silversmith" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.5 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "Trinidad has 94.000 Hindus and 20,000 Mohammedans, who, with a smaller number of Indians following other religions, form one-third of the island's population. The East Indian community - established by procuring agricultural labourers as indentured immigrants from 1845 to 1916 - is now represented in trade and the professions but preserves much of its fascinating oriental background". 6. "Teteron Bay" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.6 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "The 14-mile drive from Port-of-Spain to Teteron Bay reveals some of the loveliest coastal scenery in Trinidad. Westward from Teteron, a fishing village, lie the Bocas del Dragon, or "Dragon's Mouth" through which ocean-going vessels enter the Gulf of Paria". 7. "Saman Tree at Country Club" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.7 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "Of all the trees in Trinidad, the Saman, with its umbrella-like spread, is probably the most conspicuous. It is not indigenous but has been extensively planted for shade purposes. The Saman originally introduced into the colony stands in the Royal Botanic Gardens, near Government House". 8. "Carnival" (Photograph of Mardi Gras in Trinidad by W.Minshall) - This is No.8 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "Trinidad is one of the few British possessions in which Mardi Gras Carnival celebrations precede the Lenten fast. Masked bands of merry-makers throng the streets of Port-of-Spain for the two-day Carnival, which is held annually on the Monday and Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday". 9. "On the Brasso Road" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.9 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "Away from the plantations of sugar cane, coconuts and citrus-fruits, Trinidad's countryside is a riot of luxuriant foliage. The Brasso Road leads to extensive coca estates on the Central Range". 10. "Immortelles in Blossom" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.10 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "During January and February many valleys and hillsides are aflame with the red-orange blossom of the Immortelles. On practically all cocoa estates these trees were planted to give shade to the cocoa". 11. "Bird and Beauty" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.11 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "The pert macaw faces the camera with less composure than its owner, an East Indian, who takes care of birds and animals in a small private zoo near Port-of-Spain" 12. "Queen's Park Savannah" (Photograph by W.Minshall) - This is No.12 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "In the early years of the 19th century Port-of-Spain's famous public playground, covering 199 acres, was acquired from estate owners by the illustrious Cabildo, the municipal authority of the day and transferred to the Government in 1825. The Savannah now provides accommodation for the splendid race track of the Trinidad Turf Club and is used all the year round for football, cricket and other sports". 13. "Two-Ox Power" (Photograph by Louis Tucker) - This is No.13 in "The Trinidad Portfolio" of sixteen pictures "Oxen and water buffalo are still used as draught animals in many parts of Trinidad, sharing the roads with haulage trucks plying to the oilfields, crowded buses and the newes.

No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. 'Israeli, Isaac (1766 -1848) British writer, scholar and man of letters. Best known for his essays, associations with other men of letters, and as the father of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. Samuel Jackson Pratt (1749 - 1814) was a prolific English dramatist, poet, novelist, pamphleteer, actor and ordained Church of England minister, who often wrote and performed under the pseudonym "Courtney Melmoth." Some of his works are still published today. Although his reputation was tainted by scandal during his lifetime, he is today recognized as an early campaigner for Animal Rights and the first English writer to treat the American Revolution as a legitimate subject for literature. His first published writing, as "Rev Mr Pratt of Peterborough" was an elegy, entitled Partridges, which appeared in popular poetry collections through most of the 19th century. It is a 10-verse tale of a mother partridge praying for the safety of her chicks during the shooting season, and revealed Pratt's concern for animal welfare. He was described as "an esteemed and popular preacher" but by 1773 had become entangled in a scandalous love affair and left the church to become an actor. In the early 1770s, Pratt entered into a relationship with a lady who thereafter referred to herself as "Mrs Charlotte Melmoth." According to A History of The City of Brooklyn, Charlotte "had been duped into a sham marriage, while at boarding school, by a Mr. Pratt, and with him went upon the stage. The couple toured together unsuccessfully, and eventually had to resort to telling fortunes to make their living. In1777 they were in Paris, where they met Benjamin Franklin who lent the couple money. In 1793 Charlotte immigrated to United States where she gained a reputation as "The Grande Dame of Tragedy on the Early American Stage." In 1774 he appeared as Hamlet at the Covent Garden Theatre but his performance was judged a failure and after this he mostly gave up the stage and took to writing full-time. His first literary success was a poem entitled The Tears of A Genius, which attracted the attention of the reading public, and from then onwards he was able to make a living by writing. In 1776 he moved to Bath, became a bookseller, but soon tired of it. He made the acquaintance of the famous actress Mrs Siddons, for whom he would later write leading character parts in his plays, but later fell out with her after borrowing £500 from her husband and becoming offended when she asked him to repay it. In 1776 he scandalized the literary world with a novel, satirizing Lord Chesterfield, entitled The Pupil of Pleasure or The New System (Lord Chesterfield's) Illustrated, describing a fictional series of seductions in Buxton. Its licentious tone evoked letters of complaints and reviews expressing shock. In 1780 he published his novel Emma Corbett or, The Miseries of Civil War with two British protagonists, Emma and her British soldier lover, both captured by American rebels, released by George Washington to later die tragically. The novel passed through many editions in several languages. It is the first English novel dealing with the American Revolution. His first play, Joseph Andrews, was performed at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1778, with the role of Fanny being played by Mary Robinson. His The Fair Circassian, first performed at Drury Lane 1781 had Miss Farren (later Countess of Derby) playing the lead. It was published in many editions, and is still in print today. Pratt was a keen campaigner against cruelty towards animals and an opponent of hunting and blood-sports. His poem Sympathy argues that man was "born to share" the earth with all other living creatures and asks "Why must man subsist by prey?" Lord Erskine, in his speech in support of the Bill for Preventing Malicious and Wanton Cruelty to Animals" (1809) said of Pratt, "Certainly [no living author has] expatiated more on this subject [cruelty to animals] than the Author of "Sympathy,".
