Jose Rizal's final letter to friend Fernando Blumentrit)
The Lobkowicz Palace today
The Palais Lobkowitz (also: Palais Lobkowitz-Dietrichstein) is a Baroque palace in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt. It is located on the square that was named after it on Lobkowitzplatz and is one of the oldest palaces in Vienna. The palace is the first major Baroque city palace after the second Turkish siege, when the nobility did not have to invest its money for military purposes only.
The facade of the palace, unlike its interior, still largely preserved in its original state from the time of construction.
History
The Palais Lobkowitz (left) in 1760, painted by Canaletto
Staircase
The today Lobkowitz square was to 1716 called Pig market, since by the end of the 17th Century the Viennese "hop-picking" was held. This was at the time also a Viennese execution site.
The original house on the site of today's palace was sold by Leopold Freiherr von Felß to the imperial Oberststallmeister (Colonel Stable Master) Philipp Count Sigmund von Dietrichstein in 1685. The Count also bought the adjacent bathhouse and let both buildings demolishing. 1685-1687 it was then the present palace built by Giovanni Pietro Tencala. Stonemason Ambrose Regondi from Kaisersteinbruch supplied hard stone quarry for the steps of the main staircase.
The Family Dietrichstein later commissioned several rebuildings of the palace. 1709 Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach for the main portal found in Vienna a unique solution, it was surmounted by an ornate, three-dimensional bow tiara. These carvings were by Giovanni Battista Passerini and Elias Hügel from Kaisersteinbruch carried out. Son Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach also was awarded a contract.
After several changes of ownership (including Wenzel Count Gallas), the palace in 1745 by Ferdinand Philipp Fürst von Lobkowitz was purchased. The palace was from then on until 1980 in the possession of the Lobkowicz family.
At the turn of the 19th Century Ludwig van Beethoven was a frequent guest in the palace, as the former owner Franz Joseph Maximilian von Lobkowitz was an important patron of the composer. Beethoven dedicated his third Symphony (originally appropriated Napoleon and therefore called "Eroica"). In 1804 it was (what was later called the "Eroica Hall") in the ballroom of the palace under the direction of Beethoven performed for the first time in Vienna.
After two concerts in the Winter Riding School of the Vienna Hofburg on 29 November and 3 December 1812 established Friends of Music a Society of Friends of Music (now known worldwide as the Wiener Musikverein). At the Palais Lobkowitz was the list available in which on the foundation membership interested could inscribe. The first office of the company was in the palace.
During the Congress of Vienna many festivals and balls were held in the Palais. Around the middle of the 19th Century moved the headquarters of the Lobkowicz family to the ancestral castle Raudnitz north of Prague and gave the palace in Vienna free to hire.
1869 to 1909 the house was exploited as a French Embassy. 1919-1938 here was Czechoslovak Legation housed, 1939-1945 (after adaptation by Josef Hoffmann), the "House of Fashion". After the Second World War the house was used as the seat of the Viennese Institut français. In 1980 the palace was finally purchased by the state and founded in 1991, after extensive renovation, the Austrian Theatre Museum (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Museum of Art History In Vienna Association of the Scientific Institute) used.

Bukhara is one of the most ancient cities of Uzbekistan. Bukhara city is supposed to be founded in the 13th century BC. The name of Bukhara originates from the word "vihara" which means "monastery" in Sanskrit. The city was once a large commercial center of the Great Silk Road; it was also a center of learning renowned throughout the Islamic world.
Ark' architecture.
Ark-Citadel is a residence of Bukhara khans. According to the last excavations, it was determined the citadel was on this place from 4 century BC. For many years of building and destruction, 20 meters height artificial hill was formed; its upper layers were built over in the time of last bokharan emirs. The wooden part of Ark building was burnt down during the fire of 1920. The general planning is being reestablished by historical documents. Ark included the whole city, consisting of closely accreted houses; courts and yards with state institutions, emir, his wives, and relatives and officials lodgings. Inside the trapeziform
outlines of citadel walls the planning was right-angled with traditional cruciform crossing
of main streets.
Ark included: emir lodging, throe-room, police department, stables, stores of clothes, carpets, utensils, treasures, armoury, jail, jeweler’s and other workshops, mint place, mosques, mazars and other buildings. The first, you can see it is massive fortress gates of Ark - portal with two-storey towers by sides from arch aperture and latticed architecture gallery on top. Behind it there is a musical pavilion, built in 17 century, two-coloured audience chamber, surrounded by gallery. Here during a day there was performed a series of makoms – it is a musical work; through it people could know the time (it is tradition left from zoroastrizm time). From ayvan, tsarevitches was looking at solemnities and executions at Registan Square before Ark. To citadel inside leads from Ark gates the gloomy, arched and raising up passage-dalon. By its side there can be seen 12 niches, leading to damp dungeons, where prisoners were lauguishing. There were awful casemates and in dungeons under bridge of planks and Ark gates towers. To the south of entrance from the dalon, there is the most interesting of reserved monuments – throne-room of Bukharan emir, drawing room for ceremonies and festivals. It was vast, brick-paved yard surrounded by ayvans on well-proportioned wooden pillars from 3 sides. On the long axis yard in deep ayvan there is emir throne. This marble “takht” dated to 1669, under painted, wooden canopy on fretted marble pillars, was made by Nuratian masters.

Constable Cullinane was rather badly knocked about on Saturday afternoon, in the execution of his duty. It seems that a man named John Duffy was interfering with Constable Jackson when the latter was trying to arrest a "drunk" in Wyndham-street. Constable Cullinane came along and warned Duffy, and eventually the man drew off and allowed Constable Jackson to take his prisoner to the lockup. Duffy, however, followed Cullinane, and after being told to go away struck the constable, it is alleged, a severe blow on the nose, knocking him down. On trying to rise the policeman was struck in the face again and kicked on the hip. Then Messrs Swan and Blutcher, two by-standers, intervened, and caught hold of Duffy. He broke away, however, and bowled the constable over again, and as none of the bystanders cared to tackle Duffy, who is a big, burly fellow, Constable Cullinane, feeling weak from the blows he had received, went into Queen-street for police assistance. Eventually Duffy was arrested by Detective McMahon and Acting - Detective McIlveney, and charged with using obscene language and with assaulting Constable Cullinane in the execution of his duty. He appeared at the Police Court this morning, and was remanded for a week. Bail was allowed in two sureties of £25 each.

We regret to learn that Ex-constable Cullinane is in a precarious condition. He was recently retired, on half-pay, with the option of returning to duty within a twelvemonth if he got better. He has an affection of the spine, which is ending in paralysis. He has to be lifted out of bed to a chair. Some three years ago, while effecting the arrest of a man, he was brutally maltreated, the offender, getting a lengthy term of imprisonment. It is supposed that he then got kicked about the spine, which has led to his present condition.

Mrs. Cullinane, wife of Constable Cullinane (who was transferred from Nelson to Kumara a few weeks ago), has been presented by a number of citizens with a purse of sovereigns, prior to leaving to join her husband.

Ex-Constable Cullinane, who has been ill for some time, died at the hospital yesterday morning. In yesterday's issue we stated he was nearing his end. Some three years ago the deceased constable was brutally kicked by a man he was endeavouring to arrest, and his injuries proved so serious that he was retired from the force on half-pay at the beginning of this year, with the option of rejoining the force within a year if he recovered. His assailant was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. For some time past he had been paralysed owing to injuries to his spine. He joined the police force in Auckland in 1896, and leaves a widow and one child.

"The policeman's lot is not a happy one." Constable Irwin was so brutally assaulted in a cab by a prisoner whom he was taking to the lock-up that he now lies in a critical condition. Indeed, it is quite on the cards that the prisoner, John Duffy, may have to face the serious charge of murder. The strange part ot the affair is that Irwin, who is a returned trooper and a mere lad, should have ventured alone in a cab with a prisoner who had already mastered him in the street. Another remarkable circumstance in the affair is that Duffy is said to be the man who inflicted upon Constable Cullinane the injuries that are alleged to have led to that officer's death. Needless to say, this was not known to Irwin, or he would have been more careful.

THE DUFFY CASE.
ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE,
TEN YEARS' HARD LABOUR.
The trial of John Duffy, who pleaded not guilty to four charges of assault, including one of aggravated assault, upon Constable Irwin, was concluded at the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon, before His Honor Mr Justice Conolly.
The jury retired at a quarter to twelve, and returned at half - past three with a verdict of guilty upon all four charges, but recommended prisoner for mercy.
His Honor said be did not think they would recommend mercy when they heard accused's record.
Mr Reed stated that he had been informed that accused had had an injury to his head, and that when drunk his mental faculties were affected.
His Honor said that he had sentenced accused about four years ago for an assault on Constable Cullinane.
Detective Mcllveney stated that Constable Cullinane had never recovered from the effects of that assault.
His Honor, referring to accused's record, said he had been convicted three or four times for assault, and had a long list of convictions recorded against him for breaking a dwelling, drunkenness and obstructing and assaulting the police.
Detective Mcllveney said the police regarded prisoner as a very dangerous man, and one of the worst.
His Honor, in passing sentence, said it appeared to him that accused became like a wild beast, and he did not know whether he should not restrain such a wild beast. Had the constable died, accused would have been tried for murder and hanged. The sentence of the Court was that he be kept to hard labour for ten years.

The breaking wheel, also known as the Catherine wheel or simply the wheel, was a torture device used for capital punishment from antiquity into early modern times for public execution by breaking the criminal's bones/bludgeoning him to death. As a form of execution, it was used from classical times into the 18th century; as a form of post mortem punishment of the criminal, the wheel was still in use in 19th-century Germany.
The wheel was typically a large wooden wagon wheel with many radial spokes. The condemned were lashed to the wheel and their limbs were beaten with a club or iron cudgel, with the gaps in the wheel allowing the limbs to give way and break.
Alternatively, the condemned were spreadeagled and broken on a saltire, a cross consisting of two wooden beams nailed in an "X" shape, after which the victim's mangled body might be displayed on the wheel.
A wheel was sometimes used for the actual bludgeoning. During the execution for parricide of Franz Seuboldt in Nuremberg on 22 September 1589, a wheel was used as a cudgel. The executioner used wooden blocks to raise Seuboldt's limbs, then broke them by slamming a wagon wheel down onto the limb.
The survival time after being "broken" could be extensive. Accounts exist of a 14th-century murderer who lived for three days after undergoing the punishment. In 1348, during the time of the Black Death, a Jew named Bona Dies underwent the punishment. The authorities stated he lived for four days and nights afterwards.
Hanging is actually probably the least painful method of execution-- but we prefer to inject these days.
The Registan (Uzbek: Регистон, Registon) was the heart of the city of Samarkand of the Timurid Empire, now in Uzbekistan. The name Rēgistan (ریگستان) means "sandy place" or "desert" in Persian.
The Registan was a public square, where people gathered to hear royal proclamations, heralded by blasts on enormous copper pipes called dzharchis — and a place of public executions. It is framed by three madrasahs (Islamic schools) of distinctive Persian architecture. The square was regarded as the hub of the Timurid Renaissance.
The three madrasahs of the Registan are the Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420), the Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636), and the Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660). Madrasah is an Arabic term meaning school.
Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420)
The Ulugh Beg Madrasah, built by Ulugh Beg during the Timurid Empire era of Timur, has an imposing iwan with a lancet-arch pishtaq or portal facing the square. The corners are flanked by high minarets. The mosaic panel over the iwan's entrance arch is decorated by geometrical stylized ornaments. The square courtyard includes a mosque and lecture rooms, and is fringed by the dormitory cells in which students lived. There are deep galleries along the axes. Originally the Ulugh Beg Madrasah was a two-storied building with four domed darskhonas (lecture rooms) at the corners.
The Ulugh Beg Madrasah (Persian: مدرسه الغ بیگ) was one of the best clergy universities of the Muslim Orient in the 15th century CE. Abdul-Rahman Jami, the great Persian poet, scholar, mystic, scientist and philosopher studied at the madrasah. Ulugh Beg himself gave lectures there. During Ulugh Beg's government the madrasah was a centre of learning.
Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636)
In the 17th century Uzbek ruler of Samarkand, Yalangtoʻsh Bakhodir, ordered the construction of the Sher-Dor (Persian: شیردار) and Tillya-Kori (Persian: طلاکاری) madrasahs. The tiger mosaics with a rising sun on their back are especially interesting for their depiction of living beings and use of Turko-Persian motifs. The name of the madrasah comes from the patterns on the portal of the building as the word "Sher" means tiger.
Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660)
Ten years later the Tilya-Kori (Persian: طلاکاری, meaning "Gilded") Madrasah was built. It was not only a residential college for students, but also played the role of grand masjid (mosque). It has a two-storied main facade and a vast courtyard fringed by dormitory cells, with four galleries along the axes. The mosque building (see picture) is situated in the western section of the courtyard. The main hall of the mosque is abundantly gilded.
Mausoleum of Shaybanids
To the east of the Tilya-Kori Madrasah, the mausoleum of Shaybanids (16th century) is located (see picture). The real founder of Shaybanid power was Muhammad Shaybani—grandson of Abu'l-Khayr Khan. In 1500, with the backing of the Chaghataite Khanate, then based in Tashkent, Muhammad Shaybani conquered Samarkand and Bukhara from their last Timurid rulers. The founder of the dynasty then turned on his benefactors and in 1503 took old Tashkent. He captured Khiva in 1506 and in 1507 he swooped down on Merv (Turkmenistan), eastern Persia, and western Afghanistan. The Shaybanids stopped the advance of the Safavids, who in 1502 had defeated the Akkoyunlu (Azerbaijan). Muhammad Shaybani was a leader of nomadic Uzbek tribes. During the ensuing years they substantially settled down in oases of the Central Asia, Caspian shore, Tian Shan valleys, Russian steeps and Indostan . The one of the last and vast Uzbek invasion of the 15th century CE was the large component of today's Uzbek nation ethnogeny.
Chorsu trading dome
The trading dome Chorsu (1785) is situated right behind the Sher-Dor. Chorsu located at southeast of the Registan at the intersection of the cross-roads connecting Samarkand, Tashkent, Bukhara, and Shahrisabz. Chorsu is a word of Persian origin meaning "crossing roads," referring to this famous intersection of busy roadways. The building is old. It has a rather rich centuries-old history. At the moment, it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the rest of the historical part of the glorious city.
Chorsu was originally a bazaar constructed in the 15th century but was rebuilt in the 18th century, becoming a hat market. The current building was built during the reign of Amir Shahmurad, in 1785. Today, the bazaar which was previously located at Chorsu is nowadays the Siyob Bazaar near the Bibi-Khanym Mosque.
In 2005, ownership of Chorsu was transferred to the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan. While renovating the building, three meters of dirt were removed from the building revealing the original base construction. Chorsu now serves as an art gallery which offers the work of artists both contemporary and historical. The art of in the Chorsu gallery displays the arts, culture, history, and diversity of the multi-national Uzbek people.

Manchester City Police officers on duty outside the gates of the city’s Strangeways Prison, c. 1900.
It was the custom of the prison governor to put up a notice in the prison gates once an execution had taken place. Officers would be posted to ensure there were no disturbances by members of the public, the family of the executed person, or the family of the victim.
In 2010 we uploaded a cropped version of this image but we have recently discovered this version in our archives. Since we first uploaded this image there has been much speculation as to whether the image depicts a black police officer serving in the Manchester area many years before we had previously thought.
Could it be that the officer gazing proudly at the camera on the right of this image was a history maker?
The official police personnel records of the time state an officer’s place of birth – and they show entries from many countries – but make no reference to ethnicity. However, given the fact that a serving black officer would have been very rare at the time, we think it surprising that no reference we are aware of appears in any documentation in our archives. These files include joining and service records, reports and the minutes of the Manchester City Police Watch Committee – the body responsible for overseeing the force at that time.
Nor does the story of black officers serving in the Manchester City Police appear in memoirs of the time or any other sources we can trace.
We can also find no trace of any coverage of his appointment or service in newspaper reports of the period.
Due to the poor quality of the image, we are unable to read the officer’s collar (identification) number, so we are unable to trace his particular file and sadly, unlike some other force's, Manchester City Police did not routinely photograph their recruits.
According to official records, the first non-white officer to join the police service in the area was PC Mohammed Shafiq, who joined Lancashire Constabulary in 1973 serving in Bolton. He transferred to Greater Manchester Police when Bolton became part of the newly formed force in 1974. He retired at the rank of detective inspector after serving the people of Greater Manchester for thirty years.
However, could it be that this image depicts a black officer of Manchester City Police proudly serving the public over sixty years earlier?
If you have any information regarding this officer, please let us know.
From the collection of the Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archives.
