Note:"The Patagonian Mission founded in 1844 by Captain Allen Gardiner was the precursor to the South American Missionary Society SAMS an Anglican mission focused on bringing Christianity to the peoples of Patagonia. Although Gardiner and his companions tragically died of starvation and scurvy in 1851 during a disastrous expedition to Tierra del Fuego their sacrifice inspired the organization. The mission continued eventually expanding its scope renaming itself SAMS in 1864 to reflect its broadened work across the continent." AI Overview [1852]; place not stated. unknown

8vo., First Edition, with frontispiece, title-vignette and numerous illustrations (a number full-page) in the text, tiny signature on front free endpaper; terracotta cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chafed (not affecting lettering) at head of backstrip. Bright, crisp copy of Durrell's account of his animal-collecting expedition to the Argentine during the late 1950s, travelling from Buenos Aires to Patagonia and up to Jujuy. It is another of his collaborations with his finest illustrator Ralph Thompson; the two were brought together in 1954 by Rupert Hart-Davis, who had lured Durrell away from Faber after the success of his first book 'The Overloaded Ark' three years before. The partnership was an extraordinarily fruitful one, lasting a full decade and resulting in Durrell's most attractive books, including, of course, 'My Family and other Animals'.

Tela editoriale con sovraccoperta illustrata (sciupata), cm 17x24, pp 235 (5), veduta fotografica in nero del Sarmiento ripiegata all’antiporta, 4 carte geografiche a colori ripiegate e numerose tavole fotografiche a colori e in nero su carta patinata. Esemplare da studio: internamente completo e ben conservato, completo e privo di annotazioni o difetti su testo e tavole, ma con sovraccoperta molto usurata (strappi, mende in nastro adesivo) e segni d’uso sui piatti. Edizione originale e unica (in italiano, nel 1959 apparve per lo stesso editore quella in spagnolo) dell’ultimo libro del cantore della Terra del Fuoco, Alberto Maria de Agostini. Alpinista ed esploratore, Padre De Agostini tentò senza successo la salita al Sarmiento nel 1913; nel 1956, a 73 anni, il salesiano fu alla guida della spedizione che vide Carlo Mauri e Clemente Maffei raggiungere l’inviolata vetta. L’impresa è qui narrata con abbondanza di fotografie e 4 cartine dei rilievi topografici effettuati dalla spedizione. “Il racconto dell’impresa alpinistica, sotto forma di diario, approfondisce gli aspetti tecnici e organizzativi della spedizione, ed è arricchito da numerose osservazioni geografiche sulla conformazione della Terra del Fuoco e della sua cordigliera e da descrizioni naturalistiche di questa terra affascinante e sconosciuta. Completano l’opera numerosi aneddoti e informazioni sulle popolazioni locali, sulla presenza di immigrati italiani a Ushuaia e sui centri abitati di quest’ultima e di Porvenir.” (Chevallay Granero, p. 69). Non comune. Perret, 0029: “Ouvrage important”.
