21433Hardcover. Very good. Black leather album containing 54 tissue-guarded leaves of watercolor paper of which 43 have been used. 10 x 12 inches stamped in gilt on the front "Sketches on the Nile / Alan Hinch / 1938." Leather scuffed cloth tape reinforcement to inner hinges all else very good. Alan Hinch was born in England c. 1881 but was living in the United States by 1920 when the federal census documents him working in Miami as pilot of a private yacht owned by socialite James Deering an executive in International Harvester Company. He apparently embarked on this Nile cruise as companion to his next employer Richard Flint Howe 1863-1943 another International Harvester executive who had married James Deering's sister Abby. Passenger manifests show Hinch as traveling in the company of a "Mr. R. Howe" and the census of 1940 lists him as butler on Howe's estate. He was clearly more than a simple servant however as this charming and humorous album reveals. The album documents the journey from departure on the Italian Line passenger ship Conte de Savoia on January 15 1938 to arrival home at Banksia Howe's custom-built mansion in Aiken South Carolina on March 26 1938. Each page includes an original watercolor most measuring about 4.5 x 8 inches but some larger with a related original doggerel poem. Hinch's paintings are skillful. His poetry is markedly less so but it is clever observant and skillfully captures the traveler's experiences. On a visit to Asyut Hinch writes: Assuit the place they said would be warm/ Was 42 degrees at early morn/ If the like keeps on we will have to don /Earlaps coonskins as at a football game./ Rode through the quarters where the natives were/ Couldn't say lived for it looked so bare/ They called out for bakscheesh/ Both old and young/ They thought we came only to give to them./ Oh what a place to be born and live./ Then through the bazaar narrow and crowded/ Maybe bargains galore/ But we passed through as quick as we could./ Oddments and rubbish in hovels so poor./ Then to the tombs too high to climb/ And round the modern town we drove/ Back on board the "Memnon" to dine. A visit to the ancient cemetery at Beni Hasan is described from the perspective of the donkeys who labor under the weight of well-fed tourists. Other subjects include the ocean liners and streamers they traveled in local people they encountered a dragoman a water carrier a little girl in a red scarf boats on the Nile camels and water buffalo the Pyramids Sphinx Panopolis El-Balyyana Abydos Karnak Kom Ombo Wadi Haifa Abu Simbel and Luxor. There are also several views of the Mediterranean coast and one of Banksia in South Carolina. In all a charming and lovely representation of the places and time. hardcover books

Belcher described his passage through Wellington Channel and the discovery of Exmouth and North Cornwall Islands and the channel leading to Jones Sound. He described his meeting and rescue of Commander Robert McClure of the Investigator on northern Banks Island. His decision to abandon four ships frozen in the ice in Wellington Channel in 1854 led to his court-martial, but he was acquitted. He became an admiral in 1872. This was the last British government sponsored expedition to search for Sir John Franklin, the rest being private. The work describes the expedition in detail including the weather, snow conditions, food, ice, scurvy, optical phenomena, natural history, hunting, fishing, etc. The appendices include an account of the fishes by John Richardson, fossils by T. W. Salter and Sir R. Owen, shells by l. Reeve, Crustacea by T. Bell. This was the first expedition to the Arctic to use photography although none were published in the book. An important expedition in excellent condition.

1938WRCAM55556Various locations in Latin America 1938. 100pp. containing 230 photographs as well as postcards maps dozens of menus greeting cards and other travel ephemera. Thick folio. Contemporary brown paper-covered cloth string-tied. Boards lightly scuffed and worn. Some leaves loose moderate edge wear and chipping. Photographs clean and nice annotations highly legible. Good plus. An illuminating and entertaining illustrated scrapbook documenting the travels of six friends on a trip to Mexico Panama and various points in South America including Colombia Peru Chile Argentina and Brazil in 1938. One of the opening leaves has four photographs of the travellers comprised of two elderly couples and two single women captioned "Rogues to the Pampas!" Throughout the album there are numerous photographs both vernacular and professional a great many capturing locals in native dress as well as images of scenery and the city streets. The photographs are accompanied by colorful descriptive annotations. <br> <br> The voyage began January 20 1938 aboard the Japanese NYK Liner S.S. Bokuyo Maru. There are numerous menus and other ephemera from the ship as well as a photograph of the Japanese crew signed by the ship's officers. The first photographs depict Manzanillo Mexico a week later with captions such as "Worst city we ever saw says the man from Capetown South Africa who has been around the world" and "Sid Thompson says 'I bet if these Mexicans had a good hot bath they'd find a suit of underwear they didn't know they had!" They picture a "peddler of hats and drink" and a "man carrying load on his head" in the streets of Manzanillo. They then take a train to Colima Mexico on which a passenger is noted to say "Jesus Christ you'd think they never saw an American before" and where they eat papaya for the first time. In Panama on February 3 they see "a native with an iguana in each hand - we also saw our first sloth and a land crab" and they witnessed "a negro funeral." <br> <br> On February 5 the travellers stop at Buenaventura Colombia where they experienced an earthquake and their first sight of the Andes along with a "strong acrid wet odor that pervades atmosphere everywhere." There are several photographs of the city and the locals including one of "natives" fishing accompanied by significant commentary on the locals: <br> <br> "The natives have plenty of fish which they catch in nets thrown by hand - plenty of bananas and fruits and cocoanuts and will not work enough to buy anything but a little clothing rice and coffee. There are no public schools in Colombia - a few religious schools inland. All education for boys and girls of better class is in U.S. or Europe. U.S. buys 85% of Colombia's coffee. Population 80% negroes on coast. Government is unstable foreign capital will not make very much of an investment here but Standard Oil Co. has a $52000000 pipeline in Colombia. Malaria is the greatest plague here though typhoid is also guarded against in fruits and vegetables. Buenaventura is wholly tropical." <br> <br> The group then proceeds to Lime Peru where they arrive "in a dense fog - worst in 10 years." They take numerous snapshots of various cultural sights around the city images of "guano birds" along the shoreline and a "Typical Peruvian Indian of the High Andean Plateaus." They stayed three nights at the Hotel Bolivar before proceeding to Cuzco Tacua and Mollendo which they describe as "a dirty town." Still they took several photographs here including "Descendants of the Incas at Cuzco" an "Indian woman riding Burro - typical scene" in Tacua and other street scenes. <br> <br> Chile was next for the group. They were in Santiago by February 23 and shot several images at a street market such as a soap dealer the flower market a corn stand and other scenes. Shortly thereafter they traveled to Valparaiso Puerto Varas Puerto Montt and other Chilean locations. They captured the port of Valparaiso the Three Brothers at Chilean Lakes scenes in the Chilean mountains Lake Llanquihue and include in the album a professional real photo postcard captioned "Typical Araucanian Indian Hut" among other images. <br> <br> The travellers then moved on to Argentina. They describe Buenos Aires as "the most beautiful city in South America so far as the city itself is concerned." Their time in the city is illustrated exclusively with postcards but they include a plethora of descriptive text for numerous monuments landmarks harbor scenes gardens and other sites. <br> <br> During their time in Brazil the travellers document coffee production cattle and other agricultural settings as well as cities and architectural features. These include numerous images of Rio de Janeiro which "no picture however beautiful can portray with any accuracy the beauty of Rio." On March 30 the group heads "from Buenos Aires down the muddy Rio de la Plata" towards the Amazon River. Here they include real photo postcards of "Typical Indians of the Amazon" an "Amazon Indian Hut" and "More Indians - These are some of the most primitive people living." Among the images taken on the streets of Brazil is one showing a black woman walking with a bundle on her head which is captioned "N asterisks ours mammy in pink dress and head load - and was she furious when I took her picture! If looks could kill I'd be buried in Brazil." <br> <br> The group rejoined their cruise in Brazil boarding the Rio de Janeiro Maru and finished their journey at the end of April. A detailed revealing and lengthy travel account extensively illustrated and annotated by a group of judgmental American tourists. hardcover books
