191319686Midwest U.S. ca. 1913-1917. Very good. Oblong small 4to. Commercial string-tied album in black textured wraps. 58 cyanotype 11" by 8.25" and 55 gelatin-silver prints most 9.5" by 7.25" some 6" by 3.5" or smaller; four of the latter apparently perished. Adhesive-mounted recto and verso on black paper sheets. Very good. Some glue-bleaching to cyanotypes' edges. Many pages cleanly detatched from from perforated tabs but photos remain clean. <br/><br/>Album of storage tanks agitators and other liquid-related metal machinery photos compiled by the manufacturer which – judging by the locations of most of its clients – was located somewhere in the Midwestern United States. Majority of the photos show a single piece of equipment captioned with its order number destination e.g. "National Ice Cream Co. San Francisco" the product name e.g. "Deep Upright Closed Tank" shipment date dimensions and other relevant notes; several images show the product installed in its destination factory but most appear to have been taken before shipment. Many clients were ice-cream and other dairy processing plants and the majority were American; but a few were international including the Nestle plant in Switzerland and a Cuban brewery. Among the American non-dairy plants were the Coors brewery in Colorado a Perth Amboy chemical plant and a California paint manufacturer. Two images depict a dozen salesmen posing at the tank factory and others show factory workers in motion. Likely assembled as a salesman's book or perhaps company archive with its many cyanotypes a striking vernacular book and an informative record of industrial food preparation at the dawn of the Ford age. paperback books

A fascinating narrative intended to "embellish England's prestige as a maritime power" Hill and describing events that were to be major factors in the shaping of Pacific exploration.<br/> <br/>The first volume contains accounts edited by Hawkesworth of the voyages of Byron Wallis and Carteret with the remaining volumes dedicated wholly to Cook's first voyage. "The first voyage under . Captain Cook's command on the Endeavour was primarily of a scientific nature. The expedition was to sail to Tahiti in order to observe the transit of Venus across the disk of the sun to determine the earth's distance from the sun and also to carry on the geographical discovery that John Byron had started. Entering the Pacific around Cape Horn Cook reached Tahiti in 1769 and carried out the necessary astronomical observations . Sir Joseph Banks and Daniel C. Solander carried out extensive ethnological and botanical research. Leaving Tahiti in July Cook discovered named and charted the Society Islands and then heading southwest explored New Zealand which resulted in . a detailed survey of the country. Cook then headed toward Australia and discovered and charted the eastern coast for 2000 miles naming the area New South Wales . Both Australia and New Zealand were annexed by the British as a result of this voyage which began in 1768 and ended in 1771. Cook had charted upwards of 5000 miles of coastline under great difficulties. Cook's discoveries won him prominence promotion and the opportunity to sail again. They also ensured John Hawkesworth's position in maritime literary history as the official chronicler of Cook's first voyage. Hawkesworth an eminent London author was chosen by Lord Sandwich and commissioned by the Admiralty to prepare these narratives for publication . He was expected to add polish to the rough narratives of sea men and to present the accounts in a style befitting the status of the voyages as official government expeditions intended to embellish England's prestige as a maritime power" Hill. This copy is bound without the "Directions for placing the cuts" or the "Chart of the Strait of Magellan" in vol. I both not required in the earliest issues.<br/> <br/>Beddie 648; Hill p.139; Holmes 5; Sabin 30934. printed for W. Strahan, and T. Cadell unknown books

One plate in atlas volume shows an archival repair expertly rendered. One leaf in volume 1 missing 3/4" piece from edge. Three volumes from the 3rd Voyage have extra-wide margins. Trimming to several plates is a little tight to plate margins but no content loss was observed. Within several of the folding maps are very small blemishes at folds not affecting content. Set includes the scarce first edition of the first voyage by Hawkesworth the second edition of Cook's official report of the second voyage and finally the second edition of the third voyage by Cook and James King. Superbly illustrated with more than 200 engraved charts maps and plates many of which are folding. All in all this is an outstanding set with exceptional and handsome bindings and clean interiors. A high point for any book collection on world exploration. James Cook embarked on three circumnavigations between 1768 and 1776 leaving a legacy of reliable maps of most of the Pacific Ocean and the western coast of North America. The official accounts of the three voyages were eagerly sought by a curious public with early editions selling quickly and leading to an amazing array of sets consisting of various editions and collations. The 1773 first edition Hawkesworth volume is accompanied by 52 charts and plates. According to Sabin 30934 the first edition is preferred for its plates. This set includes the directions for placing plates not that binders always followed these directions and the often missing "Chart of the Streight of Magellan". Our 1777 second edition of the 2nd voyage contains 64 plates maps and charts. The binders added an additional volume to our set which includes twenty-nine plates from the first voyage and sixteen plates from the second voyage forming a separate quarto volume bound uniformly with the text volumes. The 1785 second edition of the third voyage contains 24 plates with the aforementioned extra-wide margins. The beautiful atlas folio contains two large folding maps and 61 stunning finely engraved plates. Cook's reports were perhaps more holistic than previous reports including observations of astronomy botany ethnology and languages. Cook was commissioned in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour and proceeded to sail and explore thousands of miles across largely uncharted areas of the globe. He mapped lands of the Pacific Ocean from New Zealand and Australia to Hawaii in greater detail and scale not previously charted. His mapping and surveying led to the naming of thousands of features islands and coastlines which resulted in an evolution of mapping especially in Europe. Cook's third voyage after a visit to the Hawaiian Islands headed west in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. The party sailed northward along the California and Oregon coastline completely missing the Strait of Juan de Fuca in present day Washington. After exploring British Columbian and Alaskan waters Cook headed back to the Pacific Islands where he ran into trouble. A broken mast led to a month long layover at Kealakekua Bay. During this stay tensions rose and native islanders stole a cutter from the expedition. In an effort to bargain Cook's party kidnapped the Hawaiian King Kalaniopuu as ransom for the cutter. Negotiations turned out poorly resulting in the death of Cook and four of his men. The third voyage concluded under the leadership of James King.
