Milano, 1965, stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 959/970 con numerose fotografie. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

1937WRCAM54535Alaska & Canada 1937. Three albums with 601 photographs each approximately 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches with additional ephemera such as news clippings and a hunting license. Oblong folio. Contemporary full red morocco gilt tooled by the Harcourt Bindery. Photos mounted directly on stiff grey album leaves. Very light wear to hinges and spine ends. Contents generally fine. Very good overall. Two volumes in red cloth slipcases. A magnificent and massive collection of over 600 photographs compiled by William N. Beach famed big game hunter and author of IN THE SHADOW OF MOUNT McKINLEY. <br> <br> The first two albums here document a journey made by Beach through the Canadian Rockies in August and September 1933. The third album focuses on his excursion through Alaska in 1937. All three postdate the publication of MOUNT McKINLEY which established Beach as an important figure in the world of big game hunting. According to one of the contemporary newspaper clippings tipped into the album Beach's hunting party on his second trip documented here "was after specimens of Alaskan wild life to be placed in the Smithsonian" with W.L. Brown curator of the Institute accompanying the party. Shortly after the trip an article by Beach entitled "With Moose and Caribou in Alaska" was published in EXPLORATION AND FIELD-WORK OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION IN 1937 and featured photography from the "Alaska" album present here. <br> <br> These expertly captured images of the Denali wilderness and the Rockies offer a rare and extraordinary glimpse not only into big game hunting but also into remote and pristine landscapes of these areas in the 1930s. An outstanding and impressive group of photographs. hardcover books
