I kept promising my friend that I would take some photos of my late father's fountain pen collection, but I kept procrastinating on doing so. Then I discovered some old photos that my father took.

Vol. III, Second Series, First edition.
Originally written as newspaper journalism, “Sketches by Boz” is the public record of Dickens’ apprenticeship. The 56 sketches concern London scenes and were originally published in various newspapers and other periodicals between 1833 and 1836, including the “Morning Chronicle,” the “Evening Chronicle,” the “Monthly Magazine,” the “Carlton Chronicle” and “Bell’s Life in London.” Fist published in book form in 1836, the whole work is divided into four sections: “Our Parish,” “Scenes,” “Characters,” and “Tales.” Dickens’ writings are enhanced by the regular inclusion of illustrations by George Cruikshank to highlight key scenes and characters.
"Who the dickens 'Boz' could be
Puzzled many a learned elf,
Till time unveiled the mystery,
And 'Boz' appeared as Dickens's self."
Dickens took the pseudonym from a nickname he had given his younger brother Augustus, whom he called "Moses" after a character in Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield. This, "being facetiously pronounced through the nose," became "Boses", which in turn was shortened to "Boz".

Pretty much all the whisky in the world comes from five countries. This is the debut bottling of the first single malt from Mackmyra, the first whisky distillery in Sweden. I’m not sure how many other bottles apart from this one even exist in the US (not many on my whisky forum have it in their cabinets). Mike was generous enough to safeguard this little guy all the way from Sweden. Here it is before making the journey.

"In the emotion-charged atmosphere of mid-nineteenth-century America “Uncle Tom's Cabin” exploded like a bombshell. To those engaged in fighting slavery it appeared as an indictment of all the evils inherent in the system they opposed; to the pro-slavery forces it was a slanderous attack on 'the Southern way of life.' Whatever its weakness as a literary work -- structural looseness and excess of sentiment among them - the social impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the United States was greater than of any book before or since." (Source: Printing and the Mind of Man).
When Abraham Lincoln met its author at the White House in 1862, he is said to have exclaimed, “So this is the little lady who made this big war?” For Harriet Beecher Stowe, the battle against slavery was a God-ordained crusade to cleanse the United States of an evil affront to humanity. Stowe presented her story in the style of popular works of the day, melodramatically and with religious undertones, but the themes of the novel – the breaking up of families, violence, the naive idea of a return to Africa – are historically significant. Stowe had not only witnessed incidents like the ones described in her novel, but had long been concerned about slavery, having read the autobiographies of Frederick Douglass and Louis Clark, as well as the abolitionist tracts.
When the Fugitive Slave Act was passed in 1850, Stowe began writing “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” It first appeared in serial installments in the abolitionist newspaper “The National Era.” Boston publisher John P. Jewett published the novel in book form on March 20, 1852, two installments before the conclusion of the serial in “The National Era.” The initial printing of the book sold out immediately upon publication and the book went through continual reissue for years. The book eventually sold more copies in the 19th century than any other book except the Bible. The Fugitive Slave Act, in combination with her book, were arguably the catalysts for the Civil War, as even Lincoln implied upon meeting Stowe.

"But the stealing of horses in one State, and selling them in another, was but a small portion of their business; the most lucrative was the enticing slaves to run away from their masters, that they might sell them in another quarter. This was arranged as follows; they would tell a Negro that if he would run away from his master, and allow them to sell him, he should receive a portion of the money paid for him, and that upon his return to them a second time they would send him to a free State, where he would be safe. The poor wretches complied with this request, hoping to obtain money and freedom; they would be sold to another master, and run away again to their employers; sometimes they would be sold in this manner three or four times, until they had realized three or four thousand dollars by them: but as, after this, there was fear of detection, the usual custom was to get rid of the only witness that could be produced against them, which was the Negro himself, by murdering him, and throwing his body into the Mississippi." [From "Life on the Mississippi," page 314]
“Life on the Mississippi” is a classic travel story by Mark Twain, which contains an account of his childhood experiences, as well as his life on the river as a steamboat pilot. It is his first-hand look at navigating the Mississippi by riverboat and the changes that came about after the Civil War. The book was written at about the same time as “Huckleberry Finn” and shares several themes with that classic. Huck Finn makes a lengthy cameo on pages 42–61, a story within the chapter detailing Huck and Jim's attempt to reach Cairo which does not appear in Huckleberry Finn, published two years later.
In September 1883, “The Atlantic Monthly” published a review of the book, in which the following was said: "The material offered by observations on the journey is various beyond enumeration, and much of it is extremely amusing. Hoaxes and exaggerations palmed off by pilots and other natives along the way upon supposed ignorant strangers; stories of gamblers and obsolete robbers; glimpses of character and manners; descriptions of scenery and places; statistics of trade; Indian legends; extracts from the comments of foreign travelers, -- all these occur, interspersed with two or three stories of either humorous or tragic import, or of both together."

The 19th and early 20th centuries are thought of as the golden age of magazines. This period saw an unparalleled flourishing of high quality, general interest magazines at a price nearly everybody could afford. Entire novels would often appear in magazines before publication in book form. It’s there that you will find classic works by such fine authors as Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling , H. G. Wells and others.
Edgar Allan Poe not only wrote fiction, poetry and criticism for the popular magazines of the day but he also served as co-editor of Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine from 1838 to 1841 and as editor of Graham’s Magazine from 1841 to 1842. Burton’s Magazine was the first to publish such classic tales as “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “Morella.” Graham’s was the first to publish “The Mask of the Red Death,” “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “A Descent Into the Maelstrom,” and “The Imp of the Perverse,” to name just a few.

This illustration is from the short story "Un drame dans les airs" ("A Drama in the Air.")
Doctor Ox (French: Le Docteur Ox) is a collection of short stories by Jules Verne, the only collection of short stories published in his lifetime. It consists of four varied works by Verne:
1. "Une fantaisie du Docteur Ox" ("Dr. Ox's Experiment," 1872), illustrated by Lorenz Froelich. Dr. Ox runs a large-scale experiment on the effect of oxygen on plants, animals and humans. He secretly pumps higher levels of oxygen in a Flemish town which causes accelerated growth of plants and aggressiveness in animals and humans.
2. "Maître Zacharius" ("Master Zacharius," 1854), illustrated by Théophile Schuler. This is a Faustian tragedy about the clockmaker Master Zacharius whose overpowering pride leads to his downfall.
3. "Un drame dans les airs" ("A Drama in the Air," 1851), illustrated by Émile-Antoine Bayard. This short story foreshadows Verne’s first novel, “Five Weeks in a Balloon.” Just as the narrator starts the ascent of his balloon, a stranger jumps into its car. The unexpected passenger intends to take the balloon as high as it will go, even at the cost of his and the pilot’s life.
4. "Un hivernage dans les glaces" ("A Winter Amid the Ice," 1855), illustrated by Adrien Marie and Barbant. A search party heads North to find the crew of a missing ship and ends up fighting the bitter cold and trying to survive a bitter rivalry.
The collection also includes a preface by Pierre-Jules Hetzel and a story, "Quarantième ascension au mont Blanc" ("Fortieth Ascent of Mont Blanc"), written by Verne's brother Paul and illustrated by Edmond Yon.

Five Scents, not Five Cents, were recently given to me in small amounts. I decided that the only way to begin my relationship with them was to talk to the sealed scents with Tarot. The deck chosen for this operation includes magical keys from Zodiacal, Enochian, Ceremonial, Goetic, Tattvic, and Elemental components on the cards. The display upon each card is an opening to great amount of magical potential that is simply superb, or astoundingly amazing as the different magical schools each enlighten the other.
Tarot of Ceremonial Magick: A Pictorial Synthesis of Three Great Pillars of Magick
by Lon Milo DuQuette is available as a deck of cards and book often sold separately. The deck has been reprinted and sold out and reprinted again and is available from United States of America suppliers. The deck and book contain enough magical wonders from great sources all presented with contemporary wisdom and brilliant original illustrations.
The fur is fake, the scents are real, the magick is ethereal and the tarot deck is an amazing deal. The circular light was fashioned just for these pictures. The materials used for the circular snoot were taken from the recycling and will be returned to recycling to keep our journey with our planet as environmentally friendly as possible. All settings were manual as the strobe provided a constant light. Taking and editing these pictures was daunting, dazzling and rewarding. The avenues of magical observation indicated by the cards and the many keys delivered in them remain as a record for all future encounters with each scent.
