'Yard sale' book showcasing the Broads goes under the hammer
The anonymous Maryland seller of the book said it was found in their 98-year-old mother's home, buried in the back of her wardrobe. They said: "She and my dad were avid 'yard salers', always looking for little treasures."They also collected first editions of popular books so we can only surmise that this was another one of their treasured finds."
Emerson (1856–1936) was born in Cuba and raised partly in America, before settling in England.His photography often focused on the everyday life of people in East Anglia. The book contains a series of platinum prints, mounted on India paper and would have been very expensive to make. The photographer inspired his great-grandson, Stephen Hyde, to become a photographer. Mr Hyde said the book represented a "love letter to Norfolk"."He (Emerson) had a profound connection to nature, and that tenderness comes through in these photographs," he said. "I'd love to own this book myself, but it belongs in a museum."
Mr Wallis said Emerson was trying to elevate the new technology of photography into an art form.He said it would appeal to a range of buyers. "It'd be fantastic if it could make its way back to Norfolk, to a private buyer interested in 19th Century photography."It's a really important piece of photographic history and of Norfolk so could also be an institution, a museum or an art gallery, or possibly even just a private collector who buys it." While 175 copies of the book were published covered in green cloth, this book is one of only 25 covered in velum.An estimate of £30,000 to £50,000 ($40,000–$67,000) has been put on the book which will be auctioned on Thursday.

Katie Price shows off HUGE new lips and reveals new bum lift – despite admitting she regretted the last one
KATIE Price has shown off her HUGE new lips and bum lift - despite admitting she regretted the last one. Former glamour model Katie, 47, underwent a Brazilian Bum Lift and lip filler top-up during a single visit to The Clinic Club on London 's Harley Street. 5 5 Sharing the latest tweaks with fans on Instagram, Katie revealed: 'So my lips are done. I haven't gone too big and now I'm gonna do my bum. "Literally, got the train up, having my lips done, having filler in two areas of my bum, then taking Harvey to his new place.' The star previously revealed that she had regrets over how far she'd gone - but that didn't stop her from opting for more tweaks this week. Insisting this time was less risky, Katie said: 'If I'd had my bum done in Turkey it would be more dangerous. I'd be put to sleep, it would be more dangerous and they use your own fat. "This is just filler. Come up here for an hour and a half and it's done, amazing…' Fresh from a sun-soaked break in Dubai, Katie showed off her plumped lips in a close-up clip and declared: 'See, you can tell I haven't had much today. Gone a bit more classy.' She then winked and added: 'I just need to get my lashes done now…' Later, she shared footage of her newly enhanced bum, complete with plasters poking out from under a pink lace thong. Katie said: 'So I've just done my BBL in under an hour. So quick, the plasters are on and ready to go. Love it! Woooo! BBL in your lunch hour.' Back in May, Katie opened up about her heartbreaking obsession with going under the knife. Katie Price continues to spark concern as she shows off her very slim legs in new video In a candid confession, the Page 3 legend revealed the real pain fuelling her relentless pursuit of perfection, admitting her countless surgeries are about far more than just looks. The reality star is known for undergoing numerous cosmetic surgeries, including breast surgeries (implants and reductions), facelifts, and other procedures like a "fox eyes" procedure. In a TikTok Live, Katie addressed where her desire to have cosmetic surgery came from. A fan asked her: "Why do you keep getting surgery?" Katie replied: "That is a very good question, so obviously I've had lot of therapy because I've had trauma in my life. "I think surgery stems from something from when I was younger, and me feeling I'm not validated or good enough. "It must have started form there. But to be honest, I quite like having the surgery it makes me look fresh. "I'm 47 in May, and when I look at people I went to school with, I think they look haggard, you can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. "If there's these procedures out there to be done I will take advantage of them and at least I'm being honest." Katie live-streamed her previous cosmetic procedure to thousands of stunned fans directly from the operating table. Two surgeons worked on the TV star simultaneously injecting her bum with 50 needles of filler. Katie previously said she had cancelled the op and was hitting the gym to make her bum bigger naturally, but has now given in to temptation. In the TikTok broadcast, the mum of five appeared upbeat and relaxed as she spoke with viewers while receiving 500ml of filler for her latest BBL to give her rear a boost. 'I'm having it done now, filler put in as we speak,' she explained mid-procedure. Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline 1998 - Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction 1999 - Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup 2006 - Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup 2007 - Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth 2008 - Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup 2011 - Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers 2014/5 - Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed 2016 - Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers 2017 - After a disastrous 'threading' facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup 2018 - Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift 2019 - After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck 2020 - Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers 2021 - In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction 2022 - Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes 'biggest ever' boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total 2023 - Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year 2024 - Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection 'Two surgeons so it's quicker because I'd rather have it both done at the same time. Teamwork makes the dream work.' Katie continued: 'I've just had Endo laser and filler, I'm having it put in my bum. 'It will dissolve over time, but it can last up to two years. "Something can always go wrong. Anaesthetic is always a risk, but I haven't been put to sleep for this - I'm awake, talking to you guys.' As the filler continued being injected, Katie remarked, 'We are numb but I can feel it getting stingy now, which I know is very normal. I'm not feeling sore… I'm feeling good.' Despite the £1,500 cost of the treatment, Katie admitted she was getting it done for free to promote the clinic. Thousands of fans tuned in, flooding the comment section with a mix of support and shock. In 2019, Katie had a full body transformation in Turkey, including a facelift, eye and eyelid lift, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and a tummy tuck. She hasn't use the word 'addiction' herself, but confessed she's aware of how many surgeries she's had and the toll it's taken on her body. While she's no stranger to tweakments, Katie's now urging girls to think twice before following in her footsteps - saying she's learned the hard way. Katie has also spoken openly about her reliance on cosmetic procedures and the impact they've had on her. She has expressed regret about the number of surgeries she's had and the potential for long-term physical and emotional repercussions, including the recovery process, pain, and potential for a desire to return to a "before" state. 5 5
