The Great Pyramid Witness and Near Eastern Nations in the Light of Christ’s Second Coming – Rev Lamb (Sydney) 1928

A rather special soft covered second edition of Rev lamb’s book on the second coming and the link to the Great Pyramid of Giza. Self-published in Sydney in 1928.

Lamb a rather eccentric Reverend with a keen eye for Marketing. His list of five titles could be got at the discounted price of 7/6 if the money was sent directly. His first edition was sold out and given that the second coming would have severe personal consequences it was essential that this book was purchased if you missed the first printing!

His forward is direct “This book, over which I have earnestly prayed for many days, is now finished. Its message, as in everything else I have previously written, is to convince all who read it that the coming of God’s Son to this world is now right at hand. The intention all through its pages is to make its every reader feel that their chief business now should be that they “May be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” … I shall now pray every day that its mission may in this way be fully realised”

Lamb, not too keen on this modern theory of Evolution, correctly points out how clever the early Egyptian were any Greek civilisation having been founded on Egyptian intelligent. The destruction of the great library at Alexandria still stands as the worst act of vandalism against culture. The books kept the fires in the bakeries and hot baths etc. going for many months. His references to the Pyramids and the Great pyramid of Giza are a very special account. He recounts the scale, accuracy and quality of construction which is always bewildering to read, how was it really done? And the alignment with the stars. Early views of Sir John Herschel and then, Voyager favourite Piazzi Smyth who calculated the date of construction as 2,170 BC given the backward calculation of the position of Draconis, the Pole Star, being directly aligned with the extraordinary passage at midnight that year. This vent will happen 25,817 years later when the stars will be similarly aligned.

The book contains more than this of course and his view of the likely consequences of the rise in fascism throughout the world … well we all know what happened.

Lady Godina’s Rout – or – Peeping Tom Spying out Pope Joan – James Gillray – 1847

A special satirical print Lady Godina is a play on Lady Godiva. Pope-Joan is a card game and Lady Godina is holding the nine of diamonds which represents Pope Joan (the Pope that was said to be a lady). Note Voyager have an original Georgian Pope Joan Board for sale … see our Curiosities Section.

A fashionable crowd, with two card tables, a round table in the foreground at which four persons play Pope-Joan. The most conspicuous is a pretty young woman directed to the left who is Lady Georgiana Gordon the Duchess of Bedford (1781-1853). Her semi-transparent draperies revealing her person leaving her breasts almost uncovered. A leering man stands behind her chair, negligently holding candle snuffers to a candle on the table, in order to peer down her décolletage. A stout lady in back view, sitting on a stool is Albinia Countess of Buckinghamshire, a little girl, and an elderly man (Dr John Sneyd 1763-1835) complete the table. On the right is another card-table at which three persons are playing. Standing figures freely sketched for the background, the whole design being dominated by the erect feathers of the ladies, usually springing from a turban

James Gillray first produced this comic caricature in 1796. This issue in 1847 was published by Henry Bohn in London and whilst later is on a grander scale than the original. Expertly coloured.
