The Society’s annual Collections Evening for 2026 will feature three talks exploring its manuscript and art collections from Malaysia, India, and Japan, complemented with a post-talk object viewing session. The event programme is as follows:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Talk 1: Dr Farouk Yahya – The Maxwell Collection and Local Private Libraries in the Malay Peninsula during the 19th Century<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The collection of Malay manuscripts and printed books of Sir William Maxwell (1846-1897), now held at the Society, is remarkable in terms of the quantity and variety of the material, many of which were acquired from local sources. This brief talk will explore some of the private libraries in the Malay peninsula that formed the basis of Maxwell\u2019s collection, providing a valuable insight into the acquisition and circulation of books in the region during the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Talk 2: Niyu Lin – Listening to the Creek Beneath: The Palimpsest of the Faulds Album<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This presentation will explore the Society\u2019s Faulds Album (RAS 079<\/a>), an Edo-period concertina album that appears to contain fragments of Buddhist imagery. It focuses on the often-overlooked underlying layers of painting and calligraphy beneath the Buddhist drawings attributed to the Kanda S\u014dtei atelier, revealing the album as a palimpsest that records a shift from individual, literati practice to collective, institutional workshop production.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Talk 3: Professor Almut Hintze, Professor Peter Cornwell, and Dr Myriadne Wang – Title TBC<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This presentation will address different aspects of a major project which saw the digitisation and online display of 55 notebooks from the Society\u2019s Edward William West archive<\/a>. These largely comprise copies of Zoroastrian texts made in north-west India in the later nineteenth century. They were photographed by postdoctoral students working as part of the Multimedia Yasna project (MUYA<\/a>) and later made available online via an\u00a0online collections platform.<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Free and open to all. In person and online via Zoom.<\/p>\n

About the Lecture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Philip John Nigohrus, known as Phillipo, was an Armenian merchant from the Ottoman Empire whose contributions to Anglo-Ottoman exchange in the eighteenth century have only recently been rediscovered. Long misidentified as an anonymous groom in George Stubbs\u2019s portrait of the Duke of Ancaster\u2019s Eastern horse, Phillipo was in fact a successful merchant whose trade extended across the Ottoman Empire and Europe.<\/p>\n

Phillipo was born in Arapgir, in modern-day T\u00fcrkiye, in a region known as the Armenian Highlands. His early life included service as a horse soldier in the Persian army, before he established himself in Aleppo, a city that stood at the centre of Levantine trade.<\/p>\n

In 1767 Phillipo travelled to London, where he demonstrated Turkish leather dyeing techniques before the Society of Arts, earning the Society\u2019s Gold Medal. Phillipo also imported Eastern horses into England, which he sold to the great horse breeders of the day. Aleppo was then a vital hub for this trade and Phillipo\u2019s trade via the Levant Company placed him at its centre. On one of his journeys to London, Phillipo also had his portrait painted by Richard Cosway, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in the summer of 1771.<\/p>\n

Phillipo\u2019s presence was part of wider Armenian activity in London, which included figures such as the adventurer Joseph Emin, a friend of Edmund Burke, and the merchant Johannes Padre Rafael, who brought a case against East India Company officials in the London courts. Through their connections with the Levant and India, these individuals formed part of a diasporic network that connected the intellectual and commercial life of Enlightenment Britain to the wider world.<\/p>\n
