Prima edizione non comune di uno dei più celebri scritti di interesse tibetano ed asiatico del novecento, opera del grande esploratore, geografo e geopolitico svedese, Sven Anders Hedin (Stoccolma, 19 febbraio 1865 – Stoccolma, 26 novembre 1952). Hedin studiò geologia, mineralogia, zoologia e latino all'Università di Stoccolma prima e poi di Uppsala, di Berlino ed Halle. Allievo di Ferdinand von Richthofen tra il 1892 ed 1935 guidò diverse spedizioni scientifiche nell'Asia Centrale. A lui si deve la prima mappa dettagliata di Pamir, Taklamakan, Tibet, dell'antica Via della seta e dell'Himalaya. Fra i primi europei ad entrare in Tibet e fu il primo a portare avanti alcuni scavi archeologici di antiche città buddiste. Studiò attentamente le alture tibetane, per descriverle poi su mappe dettagliate. Tra il 1890 ed il 1891, viaggiò nel Khorasan e nel Turkestan. Tra il 1893 ed il 1897, pochi anni dopo il viaggio di Turkestan, organizzò una seconda spedizione durante la quale attraversò l'intiera Asia, da Oremburgo a Pechino seguendo la via del Lop-nor e poi passando in Tibet. Tra il 1899 ed ul 1902, esplorò, delienandolo poi su carta, l'intiero percorso del fiume Tarim, una parte del deserto di Gobi e del Tibet. Fu durante questo viaggio che scoprì. , le rovine della città di Loulan che gli permisero di recuperare numerosi scritti di estrema importanza storica. Fortemente avverso alla Russia, fu vicino al regime nazista che ne commisionò anche alcune spedizioni in Tibet, senza però sposare mai le idee razzista e xenofobe (Hedin era, almeno in parte, di origini ebraiche). Prima edizione di interesse tibetano ed Himalayano.

2013ref. 932664York Beach Maine: The Teitan Press 2013. NEW / SIGNED Booklaunch copy June 7th 2013. One of 418 Hand Numbered Copies Additionally Signed by Richmond and Tibet. From the Publisher see image: A Book of Sketches reproduces in full a series of colour and black and white sketches mostly of women from a sketchbook utilised by Aleister Crowley from the late 1930s through the early 1940s that is now preserved in the Yorke collection in London. While the 45 plates include a number of finished drawings most are unpolished designs possibly "roughs" for later more detailed compositions. Although hardly examples of "high art" they offer a fascinating glimpse of Crowley's process of imagining his art and the varied styles with which he experimented. Several of the portraits are identifiable as known lovers of Crowley's notably Catherine Falconer and "Alice" probably Alice Sutherland - his mistress for more than three years whilst at least one other appears to be a representation of his ill-fated wife Maria "Marie" Teresa de Miramar. With a five page Introduction by Crowley art aficionados David Tibet and Keith Richmond. The book is a hardcover landscape format 8vo. 6 x 9 inches: approx. 15.2 x 22.9cm xii 45 plates each printed on rectos only.
