The engraving by Samuel Neele, titled "Portrait of Bennilong," is a significant historical representation from G. A. Cooke's "Modern and Authentic System of Universal Geography," published in circa 1802. It portrays Bennelong, an Eora man from New Holland (now Australia), who learned English and traveled to England with Governor Arthur Phillip in 1792. This image reflects Bennelong's unique position as a cultural intermediary and is a remarkable example of early cross-cultural encounters between Indigenous Australians and Europeans. Some more interesting facts about Woollarawarre Bennelong from an article in the Independent of March 2011: The grave of Woollarawarre Bennelong, an Aboriginal leader who played a key role in early Australian colonial history, has been discovered in a suburban front garden – solving a 200-year-old mystery. One of the first Aborigines to interact with British colonists, Bennelong – a senior member of the Wangal tribe – struck up a friendship with the first governor of New South Wales, Arthur Phillip. When Phillip sailed home to England, he took the Wangal man with him, dressed him in Regency finery and introduced him to London high society. When Bennelong returned to Australia, he was ostracised by the indigenous and European communities. In 1813, having sunk into alcoholism, he died – but exactly where he was buried has been the subject of speculation ever since. Now, after protracted detective work by an environmental scientist, Peter Mitchell, Bennelong's final resting-place has been found, The Sun-Herald newspaper reported yesterday. The discovery represents the missing link in Bennelong's extraordinary story, and is certain to reignite interest in a man who tried to bridge the gap between black and white – a challenge still facing Australians today. Dr Mitchell, the honourary associate professor of physical geography at Sydney's Macquarie University, scoured the archives for references to the grave, which he matched against geographical records to place it in the Sydney suburb of Putney. Surveyors from the local Ryde Council then pinpointed its location, between a front lawn and a central reservation. Before urban sprawl took over, the area was part of the estate of James Squire, Australia's first commercial brewer, who has given his name to a line of popular modern beers. An ex-convict, Squire befriended Bennelong before he died and buried him in his own orchard. The precise location of the grave is being kept secret, until Aboriginal leaders have been consulted about the next steps. Ryde Council wants to use ground-penetrating equipment to explore the site. A Ryde councillor, Vic Tagg, described the find as "fantastic", saying it would rewrite history. Relations between Bennelong and Phillip got off to an unpromising start in 1789, nearly two years after the First Fleet...

Featuring Masonic Scenes From our Tea Caddy collection, we are delighted to offer this extremely rare Georgian Masonic Tea caddy. The Tea Caddy of box form with chequered edging and borders of Tulipwood surrounding Burr Yew wood squares each featuring Satinwood oval panels depicting Masonic Symbols. The symbols include the past master, senior warden, junior warden and the past worshipful master. The top of the box features inlaid moon, stars and sun surmounted by a brass carry handle. The interior of the Tea Caddy features a floating lid with a turned metal handle. The Tea Caddy dates to the Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1800.  The Tea Caddy comes complete with working lock and tasselled key.  Tulipwood is also known as Brazilian Tulipwood, Brazilian Pinkwood and Bahia Rosewood. It is found in South America, mainly Brazil. The colour is a warm yellow with streaks or brown-red grain. Burr Yew originates from Asia, Europe and North Africa. It is yellow-brown to orange-brown and usually conforms to a fine uniform pattern. Yew wood usually has black pips scattered throughout so clean veneers fetch a high price and are reserved for finer items. A few trees will produce a burr which offers a distinct decorative finish. Satinwood is found in India and Sri Lanka. It has a rich golden colour and an almost reflective sheen. Satinwood is traditionally used for high quality furniture.

Title: "Social Hierarchy of the Nagai Tartars - An Etching by Geissler, ca. 1800" Description: This etching by Christian Gottfried Heinrich Geissler, titled "Nagai Tartars," is a fine representation of the German School from around the year 1800. It portrays three figures, labeled to indicate their social standing: a woman of distinction, her daughter, and a female servant, numerically annotated as 1, 2, and 3 respectively. The detailed depiction captures the intricate attire and cultural fashion of the period, reflecting the societal structure and familial roles within the Nagai Tartar community. The women are adorned in traditional garments that signify their status and identity, while the setting suggests a backdrop typical of their environment, providing a glimpse into the life of the Tartar people at the turn of the 19th century. The Nagai or Nogai Tartars were part of the Nogai Horde, a confederation that occupied the Pontic–Caspian steppe from about 1500 until they were displaced in the 17th century by the Kalmyks and Russians. They were named after Nogai Khan, a Mongol ruler, and were divided into groups such as the Budjak and Yedisan in the area north of the Black Sea. The Nogais were known to be pastoral nomads who grazed sheep, horses, and camels and were also involved in trade, raiding, and tribute. They spoke a form of Kypchak Turkic and were Muslim, although their religious institutions were not strongly developed. The societal structure of the Nogais was quite fluid, with personal prestige playing a significant role in their political organization. They were historically known for their slave raids across Eastern Europe, which were an important part of their economy. The term "Tatar" broadly refers to Turkic-speaking peoples, mainly found in west-central Russia and other former Soviet Republics. It was originally used to refer to various nomadic groups from the vast Central and Northern Asian region then known as Tartary. The largest Tatar group is the Volga Tatar from the Volga region in Russia. There are several Tatar groups, including the Volga Tatars and the Crimean Tatars, with the latter being subdivided into groups such as the Tats and the Nogai. The Tatars have a rich history that dates back to the 5th century when nomadic tribes in northeastern Mongolia around Lake Baikal were first recognized. They became part of Genghis Khan's army in the 13th century and were known to Europeans as Tatars. Following the disintegration of the Mongol Empire, the Tatars were particularly associated with the western part of the empire, the Golden Horde...
