Shipwreck! History from the Bermuda Reefs. With Paintings and Research Contributions by E. B. Teddy Tucker M.B.E.
Bermuda: Capstan Publications 1995. Octavo paperbound stiff full-color illus. white wrappers vii 64 pp. Very Good with light edgewear. From Foreword: Those who watched the first performance of Shakespeare’s The Tempest could have known little about Bermuda since it had been colonised only a short time before. They heard it described as the “still-vex’d Bermoothes†-- islands feared by mariners islands whose jagged reefs had claimed many a victim. Later Bermuda became known as the Summer or Somers Isles but not even that gentle name could soothe our stormy image. We have always had an association with lost ships and treasure trove and rare is the visitor who leaves without having seen some evidence of them. Many enjoy the exciting experience of diving on wrecks under the watchful eye of licensed and safety-conscious divers. Capstan Publications, (1995). unknown books

Humphreys would also publish a similar work on Moths in 1845 and a second work on moths and butterflies in 1859.

Publisher's papier-maché boards covered with black plaster molded to appear like a Gothic carved wood binding with gilt stamped leather back. Although as inevitable with the gutta-percha gluing the leaves have become detached this is nonetheless an exemplary and extraordinarily fine copy of a fragile production usually found quite worn often missing the spine the edges chipped etc. but here with the binding showing almost no wear and even the gilt on the cover edges intact and the spine gilt visible though tarnished. This is the earliest example of this innovative use of materials to reproduce antiquarian handmade work and it met with considerable commercial success. Cornelius Hauck copy with bookplate.
