196127144Golden:: American Alpine Club 1961. Revised Edition. A Near Fine copy in maroon cloth binding. Fold out map is present. This edition describes some 980 routes as compared to around 580 in the 1949 edition. Essentially all known climbs have been covered including those on practice rocks. The route descriptions are the result of a committee effort and naturally there is some lack of uniform viewpoint and style. An extensive review and checking procedure has been very successful. in eliminating gross inconsistencies and the guide is probably as accurate as it is possible to produce for a range so large and complex as the Cascades.

1718220781Japan.: 大海扇子商會. Taikai Sensu Shōkai. Meiji 17 1884. Black and white printed map with handcoloured pink highlights 23.5 x 39cm date stamped on reverse. A little minor wear at folds but overall very good. This fascinating fan was produced as a commemorative item marking a climb to the summit of Mount Fuji. A stamp on the reverse is dated 27 July Year 17 and appears to have been applied at the summit. This date likely refers to Meiji 17 or 1884. Commemorative fans of this type were popular at the time and the paper printing and general style appear consistent with that period. The red printed patterns and characters on the reverse also back up our belief that the fan was obtained at the summit. The pictorial map of the mountain shows four different routes to the summit marked in red with distance charts printed above. <br> <br>Mount Fuji is Japan’s highest peak. Long perceived as a sacred mountain it has a Shinto shrine at the summit and the climb has traditionally been regarded as a form of pilgrimage. . 大海扇子商會. [Taikai Sensu Shōkai]. unknown

Palau 4576 Second edition.<br /><br />Lucas Ignacio Alamán y Escalada Alamán studied at the Real Colegio de Minas de la Nueva España in the Viceroyalty of New Spain colonial México. He frequently traveled on his credentials as a scientist and diplomat becoming one of the most educated men in Mexico. At the outset of the war for Mexican independence in September 1810 Alamán is said to have been an eyewitness of the massacre of Spanish families in his home city of Guanajuato. This experience may have influenced his lifelong devotion to conservative politics and his nostalgia for monarchic rule for Mexico. For most of the 1840s he devoted himself primarily to writing the history of Mexico from the perspective of a conservative. His three-volume work Disertaciones sobre la Historia de la Republica mexicana Mexico 1844–1849 and his five-volume Historia de México desde los primeros movimientos que prepararon su independencia en el año de 1808 hasta la época presenteMexico 1849–1852 stand as the major intellectual productions of the Conservative Party in nineteenth-century Mexico and the only histories produced by a Mexican author of his era to view the Spanish presence in his country favorably.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Early owner's embossed stamps to title pages moderate wear some age toning corners bumped and rubbed book plates removed from front pastedowns some chipping to edges else a good to very good set.
