1904rif. 142868Buenos Aires: Local Del Instituto: Arenales 687 1904. 166 2328 pp. Octavo. Half cloth and paper covered boards binding. Worn on the edges. Numerous rubber stamps having been erased on the margins with repairs on the backs. One page with a large amount of the corner renewed with slight loss. Numerous black and white illustration. 5 folding maps. An index has been cut out from somewhere else and pasted onto the title pages. A good only copy of a rare and fragile item. This volume consists of two issues of the Argentine Geographical Institute journal bound together. The first issue appears to be complete but the second issue just has 3 extracted articles that relate to the Antarctic. The first issue appears to be totally devoted to the Antarctic and many of the articles relate to the recently rescued Swedish Antarctic Expedition. Authors include Skottsberg Nordenskjold Anderson Charcot and Jalour. The second issue includes articles by Scott Harvey and Rudmore Brown. This very scarce Argentine Journal is printed on poor quality paper which probably contributed to its scarcity. The front endpaper is inscribed in Spanish with the following: To His Excellence the President of the delegation of the Republic of Peru at the VIII Pan American Conference at Montevideo in my personal affections and signed perhaps by Francisco Segui who was the editor of the Journal. Not a prime copy but very very scarce. 1904 Local Del Instituto: Arenales 687 hardcover

1907rif. 142830NP: Nimrod Expedition 1907. Small piece of vellum 10 X 7 cm. Printed on one side are six words which were intended to have observations recorded adjacent. Other than a bit of shrinkage to the vellum the item is in nice condition. This interesting expedition registration slip seems to have been intended for oceanographic recording. The six areas for recording are titled as follows: No.; Date; Lat.; Long; Depth; and Temp. The provenance for the slip is from the Goldberg collection as the other items in the catalogue. Other than being recorded in the Goldberg personal catalogue as from the Nimrod Expedition there is nothing else to tie it to the expedition. Still an interesting artifact. 1907 Nimrod Expedition hardcover

He said that 'They always felt dissatisfied with what might have been done. but on that plateau with no 'grub' inside them. they were forced to turn back. There had been no gentle maidens to rest their heads upon!' This was a reference to a duet that had been sung earlier in the evening and was received with laughter' The Press 5/4/09 p.8. 6.

'One wealthy friend was so far interested as to give an Antarctic dinner at a famous restaurant to all the available men who had been in the far South. The table was transformed into a picture of the Antarctic with artificial snow and real ice where large models of the Nimrod and the Aurora were placed at the edge of an ice-barrier thickly peopled by penguins and Marston the Antarctic artist painted special menu cards. It was a gay gathering enlivened towards the close by songs from Harry Lauder; but alas! the rich and kindly host did not pursue his hospitality to the point of providing transportation for his guests to revisit the haunts they longed for' The Life of Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton 1923 pp.191-2. 7.

A souvenir from Shackleton's extensive fund-raising lecture tour following the British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-9 during which Shackleton reached 'Farthest South' and achieved the first ascent of Mount Erebus. The series of talks accompanied by lantern slides proved hugely popular with audiences. An account of a similar lecture in Edinburgh describes his charismatic style of delivery: '"In the centre" he said "you see the South Pole. Now you've seen as much as anybody else has ever seen". Hearty laughter greeted this opening as he knew it would. He had an orator's gift for dramatic effect and his humour was timed to perfection.' 'A born leader of men'. 1907-1913. unknown
