1880401565London: John Murray 1880. Second edition inscribed by David Gill. Hinges split; top corner of front free endpaper wanting—despite these faults still a nice copy. 8vo. liv 285 pp. with 32 pp. of ads dated September 1888 bound in at rear. Frontispiece map and with tables and figures in the text.Publisher's brown cloth stamped in black and in gilt. Inscribed by David Gill on half-title: "To Annie Maclear/with best wishes/from David Gill/1890 Nov 18". Four-page manuscript poem "In Memoriam" pinned to front free endpaper. An account of Isobel Sarah Black Gill's 1848-1919 life on Ascension Island with her husband Scottish astronomer Sir David Gill 1843-1914. The purpose of this 1877 expedition was to measure the solar parallax-the distance between the Earth and the Sun-by observing Mars which was then the closest to Earth than it had been for a century. In his introduction to his wife's book he details the various historical attempts at this same endeavor. Among his many achievements David Gill was a pioneer in the field of astrophotography he photographed the Great Comet of 1882 and he served as the director of Lord Lindsay's later 26th Earl of Crawford private observatory. Also the Carte du Ciel project-an international effort to catalogue and map the stars-was continued largely due to Gill's support. His expedition to Ascension Island was partially funded by the Royal Astronomical Society where he later served as president from 1909-1911. Despite Isobel's claim that the book is an "unscientific account" in Chapter I she wrote a very knowledgeable description of her husband's work which relied upon objects such as knitting needles and lengths of fabric to explain the measuring of astronomical distances and angles. David Gill was once asked if his wife knew anything about astronomy to which he replied "Not a word thank God!" Inscribed to Annie Maclear 1868-1945 the granddaughter of Sir Thomas Maclear 1794-1879 an Irish astronomer known for his work recalculating the dimensions of the Earth and also a friend of David Livingstone. Both Maclear and Gill spent much of their careers in South Africa and both served as Her Majesty's Astronomer at the Cape of Good Hope from 1833-1870 and 1879-1907 respectively. When they first moved to Ascension Island Annie Maclear was one of the Gills' first visitors and became a dear friend. On December 28 1890 in Cape Town South Africa Annie married Harold Jacoby 1865-1932 an American astronomer and an assistant of Gill's. This book was perhaps an engagement or wedding gift as the inscription is dated a month before the wedding. Laid in is a fair copy of a lengthy poem in honor of Maclear entitled "In Memoriam" "Died at Mowbray on the 14th July 1879. Sir Thomas Maclear late H. M. Astronomer at the Cape of Good Hope in his 86th year." that is signed by Gill although her name appears to be misspelled "Isabel". The poem appears to be unique as we can find no mention or trace of it and to our knowledge it remains unpublished. A footnote explains that Maclear was totally blind in his last years and the poem ends appropriately with the lines "The weary eyes that rested here/Preparing for a purer light/Have opened far beyond the stars/And endless day succeeds the night." In a letter to the English mathematician and astronomer Sir George Airy notifying him of Thomas Maclear's death David Gill wrote that though he had only met him a few times he was deeply impressed by Maclear's work and hoped to "produce much valuable metal from the ore which Maclear has collected.". <br/><br/> John Murray hardcover books

SIGNED. <br /> <br /> Publisher's Description: "Coexistence In the summer of 2010 I was asked if I would be interested in making a photographic response to an area containing a pond situated within an industrial wasteland – the remains of the deceased steelmaking industry in Dudelange Luxembourg. My only previous experience with ponds had been during my teenage years when an obsession with pond life led me to spend long hours in my bedroom wearing a lab coat and peering into a microscope. That obsessive immersion into a strange and disorientating world had a profound effect on me personally and certainly left its mark on many of the photographic studies I have subsequently produced. I knew that the pond in Dudelange would be teeming with unseen life now that its industrial past had come to an end. From the 1920s until it was put out of use in 2006 the pond had been used to cool the blast furnaces and tiny but dense communities would be now forming and thriving in the absence of that extreme heat. For the eight months leading up to my first visit to the territory my mind increasingly started tuning into microscopic worlds within worlds and I became ever more aware of the many parallels between patterns and processes in the pond and those in our own lives as individual humans within societies. Slowly I became committed to the idea of attempting to bring these two apparently disparate worlds – so physically close yet so different in scale – visually closer together. Grappling with the idea of knitting together these parts of life that coexist but don’t belong together nor are ever usually seen together I decided to make a photographic study that would resemble a kind of tapestry. The University of Luxembourg kindly taught me to use one of their medical microscopes so that I was able to study single drops of the water and I began searching the pond for diatoms and other minuscule creatures and plant life. The more I thought about the human factor that was so essential to the series forming in my head the more I wanted to involve local people from the small town of Dudelange which has a substantial community of families with Portuguese and Italian origins. Many of these people used to work in the steelmaking industry. For health and safety reasons it was not possible to invite people to come to the cooling ponds so I decided instead to take the pond to the people. I filled a red plastic mop bucket with water from the pond and dipped my underwater camera into this pond water prior to making portraits of the Dudelange residents. Later on I also dipped the prints into the pond itself so microscopic life was also transferred onto the surface of the paper. Stephen Gill. Centre National de l'Audiovisuel hardcover
