London, Strahan & Cadell, 1784, due volumi in-4° (cm. 29 x 21,5) legatura ottocentesca in mezza pelle con angoli, titoli dorati al dorso, tagli marmorizzati, pp. XL-378 con 37 tavole fuori testo, compreso il ritratto dell’A. in antiporta + 396 con 27 tavole fuori testo. Le stupende incisioni in rame, anche a piena e doppia pagina, sono realizzate per lo più sui disegni dal vero di W. Hodges; ci sono inoltre mappe della spedizione, anche di grandi dimensioni e più volte ripiegate, sezioni di piroghe, tavole raffiguranti piante, animali e vari oggetti provenienti dalle isole del Pacifico esplorate dall’A. In fine, il prospetto delle rotte della spedizione; un vocabolario della lingua parlata nelle Society Isles; una lista delle varie lingue parlate nei Mari del Sud; e un saggio di Sir J. Pringle su come preservare la salute dei marinai. L’opera è il resoconto ufficiale della seconda spedizione di Cook nell’emisfero australe, quella in cui per la prima volta viene oltrepassato il Circolo Polare Antartico (gennaio 1773). Vengono scoperti ed esplorati, inoltre, vari gruppi insulari del Pacifico meridionale, in merito ai quali viene fornita qui per la prima volta una grande quantità d’informazioni. Qualche lieve spellatura e sbucciatura ai dorsi, angoli consunti; vistosi restauri ai due frontespizi e alla seconda carta del secondo volume, senza mai perdita di testo. Rare e leggere fioriture, alcune carte un po’ brunite. Nel complesso, una copia molto buona, completa di tutte le tavole, di quest’opera famosa, la più bella di Cook. Questa edizione è l’ultima a essere del medesimo formato di quella originale del 1777.

1906réf. ANTARCTI024617William Blackwood Edinburgh and London. 1906. First edition. Prefatory Note by William S. Bruce. Octavo. pp xxiv 375. Numerous black-and-white photographs; two folding maps one at rear. Original slate-grey pictorial cloth lettered in white. An account of the Scottish Antarctic Expedition 1902-1905. Peter Speak author of William Speirs Bruce: Polar Explorer and Scottish Nationalist 2003 describes the expedition as "by far the most cost-effective and carefully planned scientific expedition of the Heroic Age" and yet it received no formal honour or recognition from the British government and its members were denied even the prestigious Polar Medal. A major achievement of the expedition was the cataloguing of more than 1100 species of animal life 212 of them previously unknown to science. R.H. Rudmose Brown was the chief botanist. Presentation copy inscribed on the half-title page: "With the kind regards of R.N. Rudmose Brown" and with a short inscription on the headed notepaper of The University Sheffield: "To Mr Hendrickson with happy memories of a day in Green Harbour - R N Rudmose Brown". The recipient Peder Leonard Henrickson 1859-1932 was a harpooner and because of his extensive experience of hunting in Arctic waters was taken on by Fridjof Nansen for the 1893-6 Norwegian Polar Expedition on board the Fram. J. Arthur Bain in his Fridtjof Nansen: His Life and Explorations 1895 describes him thus: "He is a tall square-built man of exceptional physical powers which have often been severely tested. When off Novaya Zemlya in 1888 the schooner Enigheden of Christiansund on which he was harpooner became a total wreck. The storm continuing he was compelled to remain on deck for several days during which he was literally encased in ice. He at last managed to crawl ashore and report says 'was able to thaw and dry his clothes.' His herculean strength has enabled him to endure all hardships and he entered on his latest voyage with an iron constitution and strong resolve." Green Harbour or Gr�nfjorden in Norwegian lies on the southern side of Isfjorden on Spitsbergen's west coast. Rudmose Brown published a book Spitsbergen: An Account of Exploration Hunting the Mineral Riches & Future Potentialities of an Arctic Archipelago 1920 and presumably he met Hendricksen during the course of his researches. Most of the white enamel lettering on the spine had flaked off but is intact together with the illustration on the upper cover. Three closed tears to the folds of the last large map about 5-6cm each. Bump to top corner of front cover. Top corner of the text block of the first few pages slightly bumped. Overall a very good copy indeed. William Blackwood, Edinburgh and London. hardcover

1962réf. 236861962. Allyn Z. Baum Antarctic photography archive principally 1962 to 1964 documenting the United States Antarctic Research Program during Operation Deep Freeze. Baum photographed McMurdo Station the South Pole Ross Island the Ross Sea and the McMurdo Dry Valleys while the National Science Foundation directed the research program and the United States Navy supplied transport aviation and station support. The archive records the movement of scientists equipment animals and field parties through a continent dependent on aircraft tracked vehicles helicopters dog teams and temporary camps. Baum's captions technical notes press markings editorial papers and unpublished memoir also preserve the working methods of a New York Times photographer covering federally sponsored science during the Cold War. Photo archive of 116 mounted 2 x 2 inch color transparencies; eight black and white photographic prints measuring approximately 11 x 14 inches; six black and white photographic prints measuring approximately 7½ x 9½ inches; two additional silver gelatin photographs; two pieces of printed ephemera; numerous newspaper clippings; correspondence; memoranda; and a 245 page unpublished typescript memoir. The large and medium prints appear to be professional double weight silver gelatin press or exhibition prints. The transparencies bear handwritten captions and Monkmeyer Press Rapho Guillumette and New York Times markings. Subjects include Weddell seals on the Ross Sea dog teams at Mount Erebus and Scott Base pressure ridges crevasses helicopter landings LC 130 aircraft Shackleton's hut at Cape Royds Scott's hut at Cape Evans Lake Bonney and the Taylor Dry Valley field camps biological research and tracked vehicles hauling personnel and structures. Captions include "Loading an expedition party into U.S. Navy C 130 in Antarctica" "Scientific camp on edge of Lake Bonney Taylor Dry Valley Antarctica" and "Pressure ridges on Ross Sea Antarctica." The black and white prints show a dog team crossing open snow crews beside aircraft a man hauling a disabled motor sledge scientists harnessing dogs a rocket launch and vehicles surrounding a mobile unit marked "U.S. Antarctic Research Program." Versos identify Baum The New York Times and his use of a Leica M2 Summicron lenses Ilford FP3 film filters shutter speeds and apertures. The 116 mounted color transparencies constitute early professional color press coverage of Antarctica and retain Baum's handwritten captions exposure notes and distribution markings from The New York Times Monkmeyer Press and Rapho Guillumette. The captions identify McMurdo Station the South Pole Scott Base Cape Royds Cape Evans Lake Bonney the Taylor Dry Valley Ross Sea pressure ridges Weddell seal research Navy C 130 transport helicopter support dog teams trail parties and United States Antarctic Research Program vehicles. A memorandum dated September 28 1962 addressed to Harrison Salisbury Walter Sullivan and John Nedea outlines possible coverage of the 1962 to 1963 National Science Foundation Antarctic program including the PM 3A nuclear reactor at McMurdo biological research and the Dry Valleys. The reactor began operating in 1962 and the archive places that project within the larger system of aircraft vehicles mobile structures and field labor required to sustain American research in Antarctica. Baum's memoir broadens the record beyond the polar assignment. Its chapters discuss the shift from Speed Graphic cameras to 35 mm equipment the development of modern photojournalism and his reporting in postwar Europe including the Berlin Airlift and British military administration in occupied Germany. Transparency mounts with extensive handling and editorial markings; clippings toned and unevenly cut; prints with edge wear creasing abrasions and occasional minor losses; memoir and papers toned from use. Overall in fair to good condition. A working archive of Antarctic logistics Cold War science and midcentury newspaper photography seen through the field practice of Allyn Z. Baum. unknown
