The Japanese South Polar Expedition 1910-12. A Record Of Antarctica.

2011rif. 76957Bluntisham Books / Erskine Press 2011. 2011 First Edition. hardcover. 414pp highly decorative red boards hardback New no dustwrapper. Not all publisher's copies were supplied with dustwrapper due to a supply issue. The Japanese Antarctic Expedition 1910-12 under the leadership of army lieutenant Nobu Shirase was the first exploration of Antarctic territory by Japan. After initial scepticism about the expedition they sailed from Tokyo on 29 November 1910 in Kainan-maru a vessel only 100 feet in length. They arrived in Wellington on 8 February 1911 and three days later departed for the Antarctic. The entire trip south was dogged by poor weather and when the coast of Victoria Land was finally sighted conditions were so bad that a landing was impossible. They sailed on through the Ross Sea only to find even worse ice and soon it was impossible to go any further. Shirase ordered the crew to turn the ship northward for Australia. They arrived in Sydney on 1 May 1911 and were initially greeted with suspicion and hostility. Captain Nomura went back to Japan with the secretary to the expedition returning some five months later with provisions ships' parts and other equipment. During the following season a second attempt was made to reach an Antarctic landfall with the specific objective of exploring King Edward VII Land. At the Great Ice Barrier they met Roald Amundsen's ship From which was waiting in the Bay of Whales for the return of Amundsen's South Pole party. Seven men were landed on the Barrier and a 'Dash Patrol' journeyed southward to 80°05'S at which point adverse weather and lack of food and time forced their return. Meanwhile the ship landed another party on the coast of King Edward VII Land where an exploration of the lower slopes of the Alexandra Range was carried out. In mid-February Kainan-maru returned to Japan reaching Yokohama on 20 June 1912. The expedition had sailed some 27000 miles since leaving Japan and despite not reaching the Pole they had achieved many of their other goals. There was a tremendous reception upon their return to Tokyo. Nobu Shirase died in 1946. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers.

Relacion verdadera de la extraordinaria tormenta que ha tenido la armade Olandesa y Inglesa que estava sobre Dunquerque y de como los nuestros le tomaron y destruyeron toda su pescaria y otros varios successos.

1625rif. ABC_46574Lisbon: Pedro Craesbeeck 1625. Not bound. Folio. With a small woodcut decorated initial opening the text. Rare Spanish propagandistic news publication emphasizing the success of the Spanish fleet against the English and Dutch during the Anglo-Spanish and Eighty Years' War discussing the heavy losses of the Anglo-Dutch fleet on their way to Cádiz in 1625. In 1624 negotiations for the marriage between Charles Prince of Wales son of King James I and the Spanish infanta Maria sister of Philip IV broke down and war broke out because the Spanish court could not accept a marriage as long as Charles refused to convert to Catholicism. In 1625 the English prepared a fleet to sail to Spain more specifically Cádiz an important trading port of the Spanish silver fleet. In October 1625 approximately 100 ships including 15 Dutch warships sailed for Cádiz. Soon the ships were plagued with difficulties especially storms. Many ships were left barely seaworthy and it caused major delays. On 1 November 1625 fleet entered the Bay of Cádiz but in the end the mission failed.The present publication can be seen as Spanish propaganda presented as "news" emphasizing their victories. While sailing to Cádiz the Anglo-Dutch fleet came in heavy weather near Dunkirk. The text describes in great detail how ships went down or how they were captured but also the drowning of many people on board. The present publication in Spanish was printed in Lisbon in 1625 still under the rule of the Spanish monarchs the Crown of Portugal was united with the Crowns of Castile and Aragon from 1580 to 1640. It is an outstanding example of the Spanish annus mirabilis praising the Spanish victories during the wars with England and the Dutch Republic.Edges frayed and slightly browned with a few spots the two leaves nearly separated at the fold some minor foxing and a small jagged tear in the second leaf with minor loss of text. Otherwise in good condition. A rare piece of news and propaganda on the successes of the Spanish fleet against the Dutch and English ships.l Ensayo de bibliografía marítima Española 2467; Palau 257848; Pohler Bibliotheca Historico-Militaris p. 246; USTC 5025988 9 copies; Wilkinson & Lorenzo eds.
