‎<p>Cook Expedition Forster Johann Reinhold. The Resolution Journal of Johann Reinhold Forster 1772-1775. Edited by Michael E. Hoare. Four Volumes complete. London: Hakluyt Society 1982. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine set in Very Good plus dust jackets with gentle wear to the extremities. This four-volume set presents the previously unpublished journal of the principal naturalist on Cook's second voyage. Overshadowed for nearly two hundred years in European scholarship by the achievements and reputation of his eldest son George Forster J. R. Forster - principal naturalist on James Cook's second voyage - was nevertheless recognised by many contemporaries as one of the 'universal geniuses' of the late 18th century. His journal of the voyage offers many new insights expressed at times in quite unrestrained language into the day-to-day relationships life and thinking and theory-testing on the second and the most scientific and the most epic of Cook's voyages. However the circumstances of Forster's career and personality were such that his work was dogged by debilitating disputes and vendettas. Consequently important works such as this journal which would have established him as the leading comparative anthropologist linguist geographer and zoologist of the Pacific have thus far remained obscure and seldom-used manuscripts.</p> Hakluyt Society, hardcover‎

Cloth lightly scuffed; a near-fine set. The purpose of this scientific expedition sponsored by mining magnate and philanthropist William Austin Horn and with Charles Winnecke as commander and surveyor was to examine the MacDonnell Ranges on the not unreasonable premise that 'when the rest of the Continent was submerged the elevated portions of the McDonnell sic Range existed as an island and that consequently older forms of life might be found in the more inaccessible parts'. This in fact proved not to be the case but the expedition of some fourteen weeks and 2000 miles by camel was an outstanding success. 'It was not the intention . to explore a new region . But in the pursuit of natural history the expedition split into independent groups and explored undiscovered areas thus filling in more of the blank spaces in this vast region' Feeken Feeken and Spate.

Overall an attractive copy. Scarce. Lieutenant Colonel Fukushima Yasumasa 1852 – 1919 undertook a remarkable solo horseback expedition across Eurasia in 1892. Starting in Poland he traversed Russia and Siberia on his journey. Stationed in Berlin as a military attaché in 1887 he was tasked with researching the Trans-Siberian Railway under construction by Russia. His successful expedition was followed by further explorations in India and the Balkan Peninsula.<br><br>This sheet divided into 24 illustrated panels narrates Fukushima's story from his youth to his triumphant return after the expedition. Filled with adventure the story depicts his encounters with both danger and excitement. The narrative unfolds in a clockwise direction starting from the bottom right corner similar to a sugoroku game which this may be but it is uncertain. The central panel featuring a newly erected statue represents the final goal of his journey. Each panel is accompanied by a caption that furthers the story. . 福井榮之助. [Fukui Einosuke]. unknown‎

‎La Banquise‎

‎Paris: Collection de la Societe de Geographie 1960. Very good overall. An image taken by Frank Hurley on the Mawson 1911-14 Australian Antarctic Expedition. One might draw the conclusion that the original image was in the collection of the French geographical society and is reprinted here in a very large format in blue ink the photo of seals and penguins lying on the pack ice. We once thought that it might have been from one of the French expeditions to the Antarctic perhaps Charcot's 4th Antarctic expedition. However Mark Pharaoh manager of the Mawson Centre at the South Australian Museum has confirmed that it is a Hurley image taken on Mawson's 1911-14 expedition.

The ships reached Lady Franklin Bay on North Ellesmere Island and the Alert went on to reach the extreme north of the island the highest latitude that had yet been reached by a ship. In April 1876 three separate sledge parties set out but the men showed serious signs of scurvy and several members died. Nares was forced to abandon the expedition and returned to England in September that year.<br /><br />Despite the difficulties faced by the expedition it did produce important scientific results including a study of Inuit dog disease and a volume of physical observations.<br /><br />The Nares expedition is one of the best documented Arctic expeditions with eight Parliamentary Blue Books alone devoted to it between 1875 and 1878.
