With the exception of a very few fogged images the negatives are in excellent condition.</p><p>An <strong>exceptional ensemble</strong> of five albums and one binder comprising 415 photographic negatives including 32 strips documenting the <strong>first two expeditions of the vessel <em>Commandant Charcot</em> to Adélie Land in Antarctica 19481950.</strong></p><p>These unofficial photographs come from the private collection of one of the expedition members clearly taken as personal keepsakessome are even intermingled with unrelated family or holiday shots.</p><p>Adélie Land is a coastal region of Antarctica discovered in 1840 by naval officer Jules Dumont d'Urville who named it after his wife. Claimed by France but neglected for over a century this 432000 km² territory only regained strategic interest in the aftermath of WWII and renewed geopolitical rivalries.</p><p>In 1946 three young mountaineersJ.A. Martin Robert Pommier and Yves Valletteconcerned by Norway's claims to Adélie Land sought to land there to reaffirm French sovereignty. They turned to their illustrious elder explorer and scientist <strong>Paul-Émile Victor 19071995</strong> already famed for his Greenland expeditions. To this end the <em>Expéditions Polaires Françaises Missions Paul-Émile Victor EPF</em> was founded in 1947 to organize new scientific ventures in Greenland and Adélie Land.</p><p>Although Paul-Émile Victor did not personally participate he coordinated the mission which combined territorial reassertion with scientific research including the establishment of a permanent base. In 1948 the French Navy acquired an American warship refitted at Saint-Malo and renamed it <strong>Commandant Charcot</strong> in honor of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot 18671936.</p><p>The ship sailed on <strong>26 November 1948</strong> carrying 62 crew members including expedition leader André-Franck Liotard Commander Max Douguet and twelve scientists among them Martin Pommier and Vallette. After stops in Casablanca Durban and Hobart the <em>Commandant Charcot</em> attempted to reach Adélie Land but heavy pack ice in February 1949 forced it to turn back only 35 miles from the coast. The ship returned to Brest in June.</p><p>A <strong>second expedition</strong> departed in September 1949 with nearly the same crew and an onboard seaplane. During the voyage J.A. Martin died suddenly of an aneurysm; his body was laid to rest in Cape Town. The ship reached Adélie Land on <strong>20 January 1950</strong> where a basenamed <strong>Port-Martin</strong> in his memorywas established. The <em>Commandant Charcot</em> departed on 8 February leaving the scientific team to winter over and returned to Brest on 10 June 1950.</p><p>This remarkable photographic archive documents both expeditions in detail from the ship's refitting at Saint-Malo in 1948 to the historic landing at Adélie Land nearly two years later. The photographs were likely taken by one of the expedition members for personal remembrance. They may be compared with those by <strong>Luc-Marie Bayle 19142000</strong> naval painter and future director of the Musée de la Marine who took part in both voyages. Bayle's prints from these expeditions are preserved today in the collections of the Musée National de la Marine and were featured in the 2008 exhibition <em>De Brest en Terre Adélie</em>.</p><p>Bayle also published a humorous illustrated account of these expeditions: <em>Le Voyage de la Nouvelle Incomprise</em> Paris Ozanne 1953 and produced two documentary films on his journeys to Adélie Land.</p><p><strong>Selected Bibliography:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Bayle L.-M. <em>Le Voyage de la Nouvelle Incomprise</em> Paris Ozanne 1953.</p></li><li><p>Bayle L.-M.

‎Perth: Wm. Alfred Watson Government Printer 1902. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Perth Wm. Alfred Watson Government Printer 1902. Foolscap folio 62 pages with 4 illustrations plus a very large folding map 625 × 865 mm. Stapled as issued without wrappers; minimal reinforcement to the map near the rusty staples; trifling signs of handling; an excellent copy. Western Australian Parliamentary Paper Number 46 of 1902; only 1200 copies were printed. The 'expedition was fitted out to explore the remaining unknown regions of Australia on similar lines to the Elder expedition'. Lawrence Allen Wells third in command on the ill-fated Elder expedition of 1891-92 was leader. The party set out from Mullewa east of Geraldton on 13 June 1896; lack of water and the gruelling conditions brought the official expedition to an end on 6 November at Noonkanbah Station on the Fitzroy River with two men unaccounted for. It was not until late May of the following year that Wells located the bodies of the missing men his cousin Charles Wells and George Lindsay Jones nephew of the explorer David Lindsay. The detailed accounts of the three search expeditions undertaken by Wells accompanied by Nat Buchanan George Keartland and Sub-Inspector Ord respectively are included.

‎<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
