Octavo 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" bound in original full leather with red labels to spine with gilt lettering. Abridged by George William Anderson. An earlier Large folio edition by Anderson was published earlier. This edition originally issued in 80 weekly parts and also called the Large octavo edition. M K Beddie: 39 First edition of the bound edition. Captain James Cook RN was a British explorer navigator and cartographer ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. Cook joined the British merchant navy as a teenager and joined the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years' War and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the entrance to the Saint Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec. This helped bring Cook to the attention of the Admiralty and Royal Society. This notice came at a crucial moment both in his personal career and in the direction of British overseas exploration and led to his commission in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour for the first of three Pacific voyages. Cook charted many areas and recorded several islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. His achievements can be attributed to a combination of seamanship superior surveying and cartographic skills courage in exploring dangerous locations to confirm the facts for example dipping into the Antarctic Circle repeatedly and exploring around the Great Barrier Reef an ability to lead men in adverse conditions and boldness both with regard to the extent of his explorations and his willingness to exceed the instructions given to him by the Admiralty. Cook was killed in Hawaii in a fight with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779. Condition: Lacks volume II and VI.

réf. 11288Japan: ca. 1854-55. An impressively assembled scroll that portrays the second American expedition to Japan February-March 1854 led by Commodore Perry; much of it is focused on the American vessels that anchored menacingly off the coast. Seven of the nine ships in the American fleet are carefully portrayed with notes on the estimated numbers of cannons and crewmembers. Steam-powered ships with black smoke gushing from the stacks and rows of powerful cannons shocked the Japanese most of whom had never seen such a demonstration of advanced military technology. The observations in this scroll must have been crucial to inform the decision-making of Japanese officials. "Black Ship Scrolls" conveying eyewitness reports were disseminated among the Japanese elite and kept top secret. Our scroll was presumably created for a high-ranking Japanese official since any information on the American interlopers was carefully controlled by the local authorities to maintain public order in the face of an anticipated foreign invasion. Compared to other depictions of the foreigners which frequently showed them as caricatures hairy oversized red-faced and blue-eyed the more dignified portraits in our scroll demonstrate the increasing familiarity between the Japanese and American contingents. In the years following Japan's opening to the West Japanese artisans produced countless scrolls commemorating the American expeditions catering to the tourist trade and as gifts to visiting dignitaries. Mass-produced with foreigners' preferences in mind these scrolls took liberties with the events that transpired straying far from the earliest accounts and sketches. They pale in comparison with the elaborate and scrupulous illustrations found in this early scroll. Though the later mass-produced scrolls are easily found on the market examples like ours presumably created for a Japanese official or nobleman remain greatly treasured for their revealing depictions. We have ordered the scroll into 15 individual scenes most of which have a contemporary manuscript caption translated below: I. Three sailors in the American marching band two of whom are uniformed drummer boys. The band led the American march to Yokohama where negotiations between the two nations were held in a newly constructed reception hall. The Japanese manuscript caption reads: "Illustration of musicians." II. Two sailors with swords sheathed are holding their muskets with bayonets fixed. A fine indigo ink has been employed to depict the uniform on the left. Caption: "Rank: Sergeant/Soldier." III. Commodore Perry on the right faces a sailor who may be the conductor of the American expedition's marching band. Perry is depicted rather sympathetically compared to exaggerated and even outlandish portraits that depict him as quite large hairy and red-faced. The artist has once more used a deep indigo to capture the color of the uniforms. Caption: "Ambassador Perry/Conductor Commandant." IV. A larger portrait of a lone sailor probably an officer clutching his sheathed sword and clenching his fist. Caption: "Foreigner Captain landed near Kanagawa." V. An elaborate and realistic portrait of Perry capturing even the individual hairs on his head and the wrinkles on his face. Caption: "American Envoy Perry." VI. A portrait of Perry's chief-of-staff Henry A. Adams done by the same artist as Perry's portrait. Caption: "American Vice Envoy Adams." VII. upper portion A very long horizontal painting of the American column marching to the Yokohama reception hall for negotiations regarding the opening of Japan to American trade. There are more than 100 armed Americans soldiers following the marching band. The top of this sheet has been slightly cropped cutting off part of the American flag in the middle. Caption: "Illustration of American landing column." VIII. lower right A sizable rendering of the USS Vandalia a sloop-of-war that joined the Perry Expedition in late 1853. Caption: "Name of ship: Vandalia 20 cannons 200 crewmembers." Minuscule mended wormholes to the image. IX. lower left The USS Saratoga another sloop-of-war. Caption: "Name of ship: Saratoga 20 cannons 200 crewmembers." Expertly mended wormholes touching the image hardly visible. X. upper portion A panoramic view with a fleet of 23 American rowboats headed to shore. Mending to the top of the scroll. XI. right lower portion The USS Mississippi a steam frigate that was part of the first expedition. Caption: "Name of ship: Mississippi 8 cannons 240 crewmembers." XII. left lower portion The USS Southampton a storeship. Caption: "Name of ship: Southampton 6 cannons 50 crewmembers." Expert mending of wormholes affecting the image. XIII. USS Supply a supply ship. Caption: "Name of ship: Supply 6 cannons 40 crewmembers." Wormholes repaired and with some foxing. XIV. USS Lexington a supply ship. Caption: "Name of ship: Lexington 26 cannons 50 crewmembers." Repaired wormholes and small sections of the white wash used for the sails have come off. XV. USS Susquehanna a steam frigate. Caption: "Name of ship: Susquehanna 6 cannons 240 crewmembers." Careful mending of wormholes to head and tail of scroll. In very good condition; there are a number of wormholes all expertly restored to the point that most are invisible to the naked eye and some browning and speckles to blank segments of the scroll. Two unidentified ownership seals next to the illustration of the USS Vandalia no. VIII. Housed in a custom-made 20th-century wooden box. ⧠Renata V.
