‎"NANSEN, FRIDTHJOF.‎

‎Originalt fotografi af Fridthjof Nansen. - [NANSEN SOM PROPAGANDA]‎

‎(Ca. 1900-1905). 8,6 x 5,7 cm. Monteret på hvidt pap (pappet måler 10,6 x 6,6 cm). I fotografiet står for neden i hvid ramme: ""Minister Fridthjof Nansen"". Fotografiet forestiller Nansen i trekvart-profil, med ansigtet drejet til venstre.‎

‎Et nydeligt og ydererst interessant fotografi af den norske polarhelt, Fridthjof Nansen.Den verdensberømte polarfarer, opdagelsesmand, politiker og videnskabsmand, Fridthjof Nansen, som i 1922 fik Nobels Fredspris for sin store internationale indsats for at hjælpe flygtninge efter Første Verdenskrig, førte et rigt politisk liv. Grundet sine store popularitet i hjemlandet, Norge, spillede han i starten af det 20. Århundrede en vigtig rolle som politisk meningsdanner, og han blev sendt til London og Berlin som uofficiel diplomat. Oprindelig var Nansen republikaner, men han ændrede standpunkt, og blev en varm fortaler for et monarki med den danske Prins Karl som norsk konge, og han bidrog aktivt til at overtale denne til at takke ja til tilduddet.I 1906 blev han udnævnt til Norges første ambassadør i London og spillede også her en vigtig rolle i norsk politik. Med ønsker om at modarbejde arbejderpartiets stadige vækst, blev Nansen lanceret som statsministerkandidat, og det må være fra denne periode, dette fotografi stammer. Han skulle stå i spidsen for en bred borgerlig samlingsregering, men dette blev aldrig en realitet, og Nansen blev aldrig minister!A very nice and interesting photograpf of Nansen, the author of ""Farthest North"" (PMM 384), at the age about 40-45. At the bottom of the photograph, as part of it, is printed, black on white, ""Minister Fridthjof Nansen"", which he never became...Original photographs of Nansen are rare.‎

‎First appearance, with dedication from the author, of Pettersson important study of the influence of ice on ocean currents. In his 1880s writings, Pettersson proved that pure ice, which moves freely in salt water, must occasionally encounter a surface current. When he resumed the investigation of ice-related problems in 1899 with the present paper, he addressed two new factors: 1) the action of ice cooling warmer water while melting, and 2) cooled water sinking owing to its higher density.Admiral Carl F. Wandel, to whom the book was given, was a Danish naval officer and polar explorer and was largely involved in hydrographic work.Wandel was regularly deployed as commander, including in 1884 and 1897 commander of the Danish ironclad Helgoland, in 1895 and 1896 as leader of the Ingolf Expedition to Greenland[2] and in 1898 as commander of the frigate HDMS Fyn to the Mediterranean. he Wandel Sea between Greenland and Svalbard, Cape Wandel and the Wandel Land nunatak in Greenland, were named after him.‎
