Zealand” and dated “Sept: 1944.” Period black half cloth album with patterned papered boards fastened with a string; rubbed edges a few photos with mild silvering but overall a very good album with strong interesting photos. Historically interesting album of lively vernacular photos taken by a middle-aged woman from England during her voyage through Oceania in the winter of 1950-1951. The compiler and her travel companions began their journey in Albury-Wodonga and traveled by train and car through southeastern Australia visiting Tallangatta Tawonga Bogong and Canberra. From the capital they took a Trans Australian Airlines flight to Launceston Tasmania where they boarded SS “Aorangi” and set sail for Auckland. In New Zealand the party visited Rotorua Wairakei and Wellington then traveled aboard SS “Wanganella” to Sydney before proceeding to Melbourne. There the travelers boarded SS “Himalaya” and started their journey back to England with stops in Adelaide Perth Colombo Hanwell Aden Port Said and Gibraltar. The album contains one hundred ninety-nine photographs with over eighty images documenting the Australian voyage. Sixteen excellent photos of Canberra feature general views of the city and local landmarks Parliament House the American Embassy House of Reps Prime Minister’s Lodge Institute of Anatomy etc. Several interesting photos show the travelers cheerfully posing by the Canberra Travel Lodge where they stayed and boarding a Trans Australia Airlines flight to Tasmania. About forty-five lively photos of Albury-Wodonga capture the compiler and her friends at a local wedding and visiting the Botanical Garden the Victorian Border and Bethanga Bridge. There are also a few candid photographs of local schools Infants High and State and their staff joyfully playing with children. A series of Melbourne photos show St. Patrick’s Cathedral the Model Tudor Village and portraits of the travelers on the wharf and the deck of SS “Himalaya.” The album also includes a couple of photos taken in Sydney documenting the Harbor Bridge and the traveling party at Darling Harbor before boarding SS “Aorangi.” The rest of the Australian photos mostly show local dams the newly-built Hume Weir & Junction Sylvan and Cotter Dams and the travelers picnicking with friends in Tallangatta posing next to No. 3 Powerhouse in Tawonga and enjoying a snowball fight in Mount Bogong. About forty-five well-executed photographs illustrate the compiler’s journey in New Zealand. Most of the photos portray the travelers in Auckland next to the Michael Savage Memorial Rangitoto and Memorial Grounds Rotorua by a Maori Meeting House and gateway and Wellington at the Courtenay Place. Especially interesting are three vibrant vernacular scenes of Maori Maidens performing the Poi Dance and playing the stick game in Whakarewarewa. There is also a photo of the famous New Zealand tribal leader and tour guide Rangitīaria Dennan 1897-1970 observing a Maori woman washing her clothes. The rest of the New Zealand photos mostly depict local landmarks Pohutu Geyser a Maori War Memorial a Maori Chief’s House a Store House in a Maori Pa and the Church of Ohinemutu in Rotorua; the Parliament House Statue of John Balance the Carillon Museum War Memorial and St. Peter’s Church in Wellington; etc. The album also includes ten rare photos of Tasmania featuring Tamar River Cataract Gorge and the traveling party posing by the Great Lake in Launceston. About forty-five photos at the rear illustrate the journey back home and include numerous photos of the tourists resting playing and having fun on board the S.S. “Himalaya” posing with the “clerk of the weather” taking the wheel etc. The other photos depict Adelaide University of Adelaide Perth London Court Governor General’s House Colombo harbor eastern temple bullock cart lighthouse street views Aden port and rock Port Said Statue of De Lesseps “Egyptians plying their trade” etc. and Gibraltar the Rock of Gibraltar.

1956ref. SHEL1748Philadelphia: Dorrance & Co 1956. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 1st printing. Cloth. 109pp. Short presentation to Jack Cory once editor of the Rhinelander Wisconsin Daily News signed by Szymczak. This is the author's account using the pseudonym of Johnny Westcott in the text of his sailing on the troop transport ship S. S. Dorchester in early 1943 as a signalman from the States to Greenland. On February 3. a German U-Boat sunk the Dorchester with a loss of 678 men. Szymczak was a surviver and the last portion of the book is about the sinking and his survival.

Although found in a number of libraries it is a rare book and very seldom found. This copy fine in a very good unclipped dust jacket. Even the 1976 reprint is very difficult to find.
