Housed in a custom clamshell box. $15000.Scarce first edition of this early allegorical promotion of settlements in Newfoundland ""one of the earliest contributions to English literature from America Baer.""Deeply concerned about the poor economic conditions prevailing in Wales"" William Vaughan ""became interested in overseas colonization as a means for improving the lot of his countrymen. As a result he decided to try to plant a colony in Newfoundland largely because it was easily accessible and also because it possessed an established fishery. In 1616 he purchased from the Newfoundland Company the part of the Avalon Peninsula to the south of a line from Caplin Bay across to Placentia Bay and decided to name the colony 'New Cambriol.' In the following year Vaughan set out a few ill-prepared colonists to the harbour of Aquaforte where they spent the winter huddled in cabins built by migratory fishermen for summer use. In 1618 Vaughan hired Richard Whitbourne to bring colonists and provisions to the settlement and appointed him governor moving it to a better location at Renews but in the end only six colonists spent the winter of 1619 at Renews and the settlement was abandoned in the following year Vaughan did his best to promote Newfoundland settlement by publication of his somewhat fanciful book The Golden Fleece"" Howgego. ""The work is one of the earliest contributions to English literature from America and was intended to advertise Vaughan's colony. It is a queer fantasy in prose and verse in which a succession of historical characters present complaints against the evils of the age in the court of Apollo and finally find the Golden Fleece in Newfoundland"" Baer. ""Vaughan's treatise was divided into three parts the first concerned with religion the second with the 'Vices and Decayes of the Kingdome' and the third with 'wayes to get wealth and to restore Trading. The third part focused on colonization he created a unique text by bringing into this dialogue the central figures of contemporary Jacobean and Elizabethan colonization including John Guy Captain John Mason Richard Whitbourne Francis Drake and Martin Frobisher"" McDiarmid & Collinson. The Golden Fleece is an extraordinary work in vivid contrast to the more prosaic and practical propagandist tracts on Newfoundland which Whitbourne and Mason had written. Its purpose was simple enough: Vaughan was anxious to promote the island as a place for settlement. Success he believed would relieve overpopulation at home treble England's present income from the fishery which he estimated to be 20000 pounds and generally increase trade Vaughan provided us with some of the earliest English literature on North America"" Gillian Cell.

1920Best.-Nr. 225231920. Ontario Industrial and Landscape Photograph Archive. This archive documents Ontario's economy In the 1920s with growth in the manufacturing and resource extraction sectors particularly in pulp steel and mining. Archive of ten original black-and-white silver gelatin photographs c. 1910s-1930s depicting the industrial infrastructure waterways and wilderness of Ontario Canada. Prints range from approx. 3 x 5 in. to 8 x 10 in. most with period typewritten or handwritten captions on verso. The set captures both the province's economic transformation through heavy industry-steel pulp and grain-and the simultaneous promotion of Ontario's lakes and forests as sites of leisure and natural abundance. The industrial scenes include "Steel Industry Hamilton Ont / Blast Furnace at a Hamilton Steel Plant" stamped Brown Brothers New York City a massive grain elevator captioned "One of Canada's Biggest Grain Elevators" and "White hot steel plates pass through a giant press in a Hamilton Ont. plate mill". A pulp industry image reads "Pulp Pile Beaver Potomac Co. Thorold Ont." showing mountains of logs under smoking chimneys. These industries formed the backbone of Ontario's early 20th-century economy with Hamilton emerging as the "Steel Capital of Canada" and Thorold contributing to a global newsprint trade. Several photographs bear Canadian National and Canadian Government Railways credits underscoring the role of rail transport in moving both raw and finished goods. The landscape and Tourism views-often 1920's railway-promoted tourism images-include "Kitchi Falls English River Canadian Government Rys. Ontario" "Pelican Lake Graham Ont." "A Sportsman's Paradise Minnitaki Lake Graham Ont." "Catching the Maskinonge Rice Lake Ontario" stamped Courtesy Canadian Pacific and "Beaver House North River Ontario". A panoramic shot labeled "From the Bluff showing rear of Norway Point Highlands of Ontario Canada" captures a lake dotted with islands buildings and open grounds. Other images show logging sites beaver dams and rail lines skirting rocky shorelines. Minor edge wear scattered creasing and light surface marks to several prints; a few with clipped or chipped corners. Overall very good condition. A rich visual record of Ontario's industrial expansion and environmental heritage this archive preserves both the promotional and documentary perspectives that shaped the province's image in the early modern era. unknown books
