[West India - Pilot Guide].
The West India Directory. Volume I. Containing Directions for Navigating the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico; with a Description of the Coast of Colombia, Yucatan, Mexico, and Florida, and the adjacent Islands and Shoals. London, G. Duckworth for the Hydrographical Office, Admiralty, 1829.
8vo. (10), 340, (12), 12 pp. (appendix). Contemporary half calf, marbled sides, gold title on spine, marbled endpapers. Extremely rare first edition (with an appendix printed in 1857, so perhaps reissued at that time) of a pilot guide for parts of the Caribbean, stating explicitly that there is still no adequate information for all parts. Although it calls itself volume 1, it is not clear that any of the various publications under the title "The West India Directory" was intended as a companion volume to the present one. It clearly covers different content than "The West India Directory" published by John William Norie in 1827. - With library stamps of the Marinens Bibliothek, Copenhagen (the library of the Danish Royal Navy): in gold in the centre of the front board and in ink on the title-page. Head of spine cracked, front hinge weak, corners bumped, front endpapers loose, but still in good condition. OCLC 47915720.

[Western Photographica]: [Travel]: [Railroads]
Wanderlust caption title
Various locations in the American Southwest and West 1923. About very good. Two oblong folio photograph albums bound in brown pebbled leather each titled in gilt on front cover "WANDERLUST" containing a total of 266 full-page vernacular and professional photographs. First albums: 146 leaves illustrated with 128 full-page landscape photographs each around 6 x 8 inches or slightly larger and occasional manuscript or hand-fashioned sectional title pages and maps. Second volume: 148 leaves illustrated with 138 photographs and occasional manuscript or hand-fashioned sectional title pages. All contents mounted one per page to recto of each leaf. Spines perished but holding strong boards worn scuffed and soiled. Contents noticeably curled with minor to moderate dust-soiling throughout. A studio photograph of a young man is laid-in to the first album likely the compiler of the albums but sadly unidentified. An elaborately-produced pair of vernacular photograph albums documenting an epic cross-country train excursion in 1923 by a well-to-do but anonymous traveler from New York comprised of over 260 full-page photographs. The photographs are a mixture of silver gelatin images printing out paper prints handcolored photographs and a handful of cyanotypes. Most of the images appear to be taken by the traveler en route but some images may have been bought along the way. The images largely picture the landscape or architecture seen along the way with a healthy number of images showing the railroad and the railcars themselves with many images taken at train depots. The occasional manuscript sectional title pages denote the regions of travel as the compiler moved west to California and then eventually back east towards home.<br /> <br /> The first album begins with a manuscript title leaf quoting the text of Gerald Gould's poem "Wanderlust" supplemented by two small drawings and two thumbnail photographs. A map on the second leaf traces the voyage from New York down through the American South and Southwest to California and back to New York through Arizona Colorado and the Midwest. Thereafter the album is comprised mostly of full-page photographs grouped together by location with anywhere from a few to several images per section. The first section in the first album shows the first major stop on the trip -- Washington D.C. and Mount Vernon; this section contains photographs of the Capitol the Lincoln Monument other D.C. buildings and several on the grounds of George Washington's home at Mount Vernon. The album then includes sections featuring New Orleans six photographs; the route between New Orleans and El Paso five images including the train depot at Langtry Texas; El Paso five shots featuring the city and street views; Juarez Mexico eight shots mostly either street scenes or a bullfight; "Thru New Mexico and Arizona" four images; The Apache Trail in Arizona nineteen shots mostly desert landscapes but with some buildings along the trail; and onward through the Carriso Gorge seven photos to California beginning at Coronado Beach eight photographs. The remainder of the first album features California locations namely San Diego sixteen images mostly missions; Pasadena ten photos mostly featuring gardens; Catalina Island eight shots of the island scenery or the bay; Los Angeles eight views in Santa Monica Venice and Ocean Park; and ending with fourteen images featuring missions and other notable structures in Santa Barbara.<br /> <br /> The second volume picks up the excursion in Del Monte California featuring fifteen scenes in Carmel by the Sea and Monterey. The photographic journey of California then continues to Santa Cruz and the Big Trees five shots; San Francisco eleven views around the city and in the Japanese gardens; Mt. Tamalpais a dozen shots of elevated vistas big trees and forests; Yosemite National Park twenty park views; Mariposa Big Trees seven shots; and ends with the Glenwood Mission Inn in Riverside twenty-two images of the hotel grounds and other local scenery and missions around Riverside. The remainder of the album features photographs from the Grand Canyon in Arizona twenty-six images mostly landscapes but with a few featuring Native American ceremonies and Colorado Springs twenty landscapes and other views of the city surrounding desert Pikes Peak and so forth. Concerned mostly with scenery of the American South Southwest and West Coast the compiler did not see fit to record photographs of the remainder of his trip back home to New York. In addition to the information contained in the photographs here the elaborate materiality custom matching albums with matching gilt titles to the front board handcrafted sectional title pages the hand-drawn and traced map and the nature of the organization of the albums arranged in the order of travel from east to west and back east again speaks volumes about the importance the compiler placed on the trip.<br /> <br /> Substantially documented western travel albums are growing rare in the market and the present example is one of the most carefully-assembled examples we have ever seen. unknown

[Western Travel]. [Royse Family]
Annotated Vernacular Photograph Album Documenting the Travels of the Royse Family Across the American West With Much Content on Early Automobile Culture and Industry in the Far West
Various locations including Montana Wyoming Missouri California 1931. Very good. 45 leaves illustrated with 185 original photographs from 2.75 x 2 inches to 6.5 x 4 inches the great majority measuring 5.75 x 3.5 inches and a few postcards most with manuscript annotations on the borders of the images or on the album pages. Oblong folio. Contemporary textured black cloth gilt title on front cover string tied. Moderate rubbing to covers bottom edge worn corners creased. Internally clean photographs in very nice shape. A well-annotated vernacular photograph album chronicling about two decades of the travels and experiences of Ray Royse and his family as they trekked from Illinois to California through the Upper West in the first quarter of the 20th century. The Royse family started in Aledo Illinois and numerous photographs feature various family members here. They then traveled through Casper Wyoming Great Falls and Butte Montana and other locations before settling in Long Beach where Ray and his brother-in-law worked at the shipyards. The images here document Ray's training at the Sweeney Automobile & Tractor School in Kansas City driving Harley-Davidson motorcycles attempting to repair a nearly destroyed family sedan visiting the Custer Battlefield and the monument to Buffalo Bill Cody among other western sites scenes in Yellowstone Park and a family drive up Pike's Peak among many others. Ray's efforts to move West reflect the expansion and increasingly wide availability of automobiles and the growing industry in the West following the First World War.<br /> <br /> The photographs here record numerous locations in the American West to which Ray Royse along with his family and friends traveled or worked in in a 1922 Nash and later a Ford Model T. They traveled across the Continental Divide Ray worked for a time at the Anaconda Mines near Great Falls and Butte Montana and later the Standard Oil Refinery at Shelby Montana. Many images show a wrecked Ford Model T with Roy diligently at work trying to repair it before finally resigning his efforts by attaching a sign reading "Rest in Pieces" on the radiator. Another picture shows another Ford weighed down with a huge sack of wool in Bear Creek Wyoming. There are also images emanating from Dublin Gulch near Butte; Livingston Montana; Wind River Canyon in Thermopolis Wyoming; Salt Creek Wyoming; ; and several park scenes in Kansas City. A handful of images feature the Warren family in Butte. Several photographs memorialize the Royse family trip to Yellowstone Park in 1923 with many of the geysers and surrounding landscapes the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone and more. There are also interesting photos from a Royse family drive to the top of Pike's Peak with views from the peak with additional shots from the Garden of the Gods cliff dwellings near Colorado Springs scenes in New Mexico and Arizona in 1929 dams near Great Falls the Beaver Dam in Wyoming a picture of the "Million Dollar Fire" in Casper in 1921 and a beached fifty-five-foot whale in Long Beach dated December 28 1929. Altogether the images clearly illustrate the wandering nature of the Royse family across several states in the American West.<br /> <br /> Ray Royse 1903-1942 was an automobile mechanic metal worker and sheet metal specialist who worked in the Long Beach shipyards from 1929 until 1942 when he was killed in a shipyard accident. He also worked as a coal miner in Wyoming and on the Douglas Sheep Ranch in Wyoming both of which are chronicled in photographs in the present album. He met and married Sylvia Lambert in 1934 in South Dakota before returning to California.<br /> <br /> A wide-ranging and eclectic mixture of original and unique photographs of the West documenting an interesting family who began in Illinois and eventually settled in California. unknown

[Western Travel]. [Railroads]
Memories of the Trip and of Associates on the Red Special cover title
Various locations in the American Southwest West Coast and Pacific Northwest 1925. Very good. 30 leaves illustrated with 270 photographs of various sizes including two multi-panel panoramic photographs each leaf with a single printed caption identifying the subjects or location. Contemporary red leather gilt titles on front cover. Oblong folio. Some scuffing and abrading to covers a few short edge tears. Internally clean. A handsome annotated photograph album produced to commemorate a railroad trip by a well-to-do party of travelers from Kansas City through New Mexico Arizona Colorado California and up the West Coast to British Columbia and Alberta in 1925. The first photograph in the album is a panorama of a large group of well-dressed men and women at the Mission Hills Country Club in Kansas City captioned in the negative indicating the traveling party emanated from Kansas City as part of the "N.E.L.A. Red Special Delegation to San Francisco Convention" who were "Guests of K.C.P and L Co" presumably the Kansas City Power & Light Company. The second and much larger panoramic photograph is comprised of fifteen 5-x-8-inch photographs picturing the travelers posed outside the numerous Pullman cars that comprise the Red Special. The preponderance of the photographs are organized by location generally five or six photographs per page with a single printed caption per page mostly indicating the location. The body of photographs begins with facing pages of images featuring the travelers and some scenery in Colorado Springs and Garden of the Gods in Colorado. A sampling of subsequent groups of photographs feature the travelers at Pike's Peak Albuquerque the Grand Canyon San Bernardino Redlands Los Angeles Santa Barbara Del Monte Yosemite Valley Glacier Point Mariposa Grove San Francisco Shasta the Columbia River Victoria Vancouver Canadian Rockies Lake Louise Lake Agnes Moraine Lake Johnson's Canyon Banff and other locations. The album closes with four pages of photos picturing "Fellow Travelers Here and There" and a group photo of "The Train Crew." The latter photograph is the only one featuring African Americans who were likely working as Pullman porters on the Red Special. A wide-ranging series of photographs featuring much of the American and Canadian West before the Great Depression. unknown

[World Travel]. [Lien, Robert E]
Extensively Annotated Photograph Album Documenting Travel Around the World Including California Hawaii Panama China and More
Various locations 1924. Very good. 65 leaves illustrated with 329 photographs between 2.5 x 1.75 inches and 5 x 7 inches plus a small selection of ephemeral items. Oblong quarto. Contemporary limp black cloth photograph album string tied. Minor scuffing to edges some rubbing to boards. A wide-ranging annotated vernacular photograph album documenting the worldwide travels of Robert E. Lien of California. The album opens with an interesting manuscript note pasted in by the compiler reading: "This Album is the Property of Robert e. Lien. Please do not rub your hands over the white ink it rubs off." The photographs begin in Edison County California showing the landscape of the Sierra mountains local buildings and businesses orange growers in Yuba an oil well fire in Santa Fe Springs aerial views of San Francisco views of the wrecked Union Oil tanker Lyman Stewart and more. The California images account for roughly the first third of the album. One image of a steamship gives a clue to Lien's career with the caption reading: "My home for 14 months. S.S. Columbia." Other images show Lien dressed in ship's officer gear so he was perhaps a captain or sailor on oceangoing oil tankers. This would account for his keen interest in ships and boats which feature prominently in numerous images in the present album which were presumably taken by Lien while he was on the Columbia. Lien also visited numerous locations around the world which he documents in the album with several images in the Panama Canal; shots of locals and other scenes in Manzanilla Mexico and Corinto Nicaragua; scenes in Melbourne Newcastle and Sydney Australia; images of locals and local color in Saigon Shanghai and the Philippines; and more. Lien's detailed manuscript captions throughout provide vital identifications of locations settings and names for individuals he both knew and met along the way around the world. unknown

[WORLD WAR II MAPS] THOMPSON, KENNETH W (ARTIST); ELIOT, GEORGE FIELDING
Five WWII Bird's-eye View Maps including the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
Remington Rand. 1944. Five printed colour maps each: 31.4 x 47 cms; 46.3 x 53.3 cms sheet central fold marginal edge wear chips and a few small edge tears tidemark affecting the ocean at the outer edge of Map VII but all the maps in very good condition. From a series of World War II battlefront maps "for the delight of arm-chair strategists" published by the Library Bureau of Remington Rand seven were published. Taken from a bird's eye view of the globe and with relief artistically rendered by artist Kenneth Thompson 1907-1996 and descriptive text by George Fielding Eliot 1894-1971. Eliot spent his youth in Australia attending Melbourne University serving with distinction in the Australian Infantry in WWI. Moving to the United States after a short stint in Canada serving with the RCMP her served as a reserve officer in the U.S. Army reserve in military intelligence from 1922 to 1933 and during WWII Eliot famously broadcast the first extended television coverage following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He continued to write books and articles about military strategy and world politics into the 1960s. <br> <br>In keeping with the "aviation-age" cartography of Richard Edes Harrison the unusual perspective of the maps--from above and often with a direction other than north at the top of the map--challenges the viewer to reconsider the geopolitical situation with the text of Eliot as a further prompt his captions below: <br> <br>Map III Italy & South France "Hannibal Caesar and Napoleon made their reputations here" <br>Map IV The Western Front "Will the cockpit of 1918 see the decisive battles of 1944" <br>Map V Southeastern Asia "The road to Mandalay -- and to China --along which bombs for Tokyo must travel" <br>Map VI The Southwest Pacific "Island-hopping toward Japan -- in short and long hops" <br>Map V11 The North Pacific "Here the enemy trusts in the protection of vast ocean distances" .

Viaggi e scienza. Le istruzioni scientifiche per i viaggiatori nei secoli XVII-XIX.
cm. 17 x 24, liv-380 pp. con 2 figg. f.t. Gabinetto Scientifico Letterario G.P. Vieusseux Le istruzioni scientifiche per i viaggiatori sono parte essenziale della sistematica ricognizione della terra tra il XVII e il XIX secolo. Tramite le loro prescrizioni si cerca di disciplinare e stimolare, sia nell?esplorazione extraeuropea sia nell?indagine sulle aree interne al continente europeo, l?osservazione delle diverse realt? fisiche e culturali. I testi delle istruzioni rappresentano non solo una componente fondamentale della pratica del viaggio, ma un?espressione particolarmente significativa dell?intero sistema di conoscenze occidentale. Instructional guides for travellers form an essential part of the systematic exploration of the world from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. The advice they contain tends to discipline as well as to stimulate observation of the various physical and cultural realities both within and outside the European continent. The texts are not only an integral part of the literature of travel ? they constitute a very significant expression of the western system of knowledge as a whole. 776 gr. liv-380 p.
