With the exception of a very few fogged images the negatives are in excellent condition.An exceptional ensemble of five albums and one binder comprising 415 photographic negatives including 32 strips documenting the first two expeditions of the vessel Commandant Charcot to Adélie Land in Antarctica 19481950.These unofficial photographs come from the private collection of one of the expedition members clearly taken as personal keepsakessome are even intermingled with unrelated family or holiday shots.Adélie Land is a coastal region of Antarctica discovered in 1840 by naval officer Jules Dumont d'Urville who named it after his wife. Claimed by France but neglected for over a century this 432000 km² territory only regained strategic interest in the aftermath of WWII and renewed geopolitical rivalries.In 1946 three young mountaineersJ.A. Martin Robert Pommier and Yves Valletteconcerned by Norway's claims to Adélie Land sought to land there to reaffirm French sovereignty. They turned to their illustrious elder explorer and scientist Paul-Émile Victor 19071995 already famed for his Greenland expeditions. To this end the Expéditions Polaires Françaises Missions Paul-Émile Victor EPF was founded in 1947 to organize new scientific ventures in Greenland and Adélie Land.Although Paul-Émile Victor did not personally participate he coordinated the mission which combined territorial reassertion with scientific research including the establishment of a permanent base. In 1948 the French Navy acquired an American warship refitted at Saint-Malo and renamed it Commandant Charcot in honor of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot 18671936.The ship sailed on 26 November 1948 carrying 62 crew members including expedition leader André-Franck Liotard Commander Max Douguet and twelve scientists among them Martin Pommier and Vallette. After stops in Casablanca Durban and Hobart the Commandant Charcot attempted to reach Adélie Land but heavy pack ice in February 1949 forced it to turn back only 35 miles from the coast. The ship returned to Brest in June.A second expedition departed in September 1949 with nearly the same crew and an onboard seaplane. During the voyage J.A. Martin died suddenly of an aneurysm; his body was laid to rest in Cape Town. The ship reached Adélie Land on 20 January 1950 where a basenamed Port-Martin in his memorywas established. The Commandant Charcot departed on 8 February leaving the scientific team to winter over and returned to Brest on 10 June 1950.This remarkable photographic archive documents both expeditions in detail from the ship's refitting at Saint-Malo in 1948 to the historic landing at Adélie Land nearly two years later. The photographs were likely taken by one of the expedition members for personal remembrance. They may be compared with those by Luc-Marie Bayle 19142000 naval painter and future director of the Musée de la Marine who took part in both voyages. Bayle's prints from these expeditions are preserved today in the collections of the Musée National de la Marine and were featured in the 2008 exhibition De Brest en Terre Adélie.Bayle also published a humorous illustrated account of these expeditions: Le Voyage de la Nouvelle Incomprise Paris Ozanne 1953 and produced two documentary films on his journeys to Adélie Land.Selected Bibliography:<ul><li>Bayle L.-M.

BY NILE AND EUPHRATES A Record of Discovery and Adventure

190434773Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark 1904. First Edition. profusely illustrated with 33 black and white illustrations on glossy plates including a map and city plan and with a fold out map of the Mounds of Nippur. 8vo publisher's original buff decorated cloth the upper cover with a portrait of a Hillah workman in buff red black and white within a black border with black lettering the spine gilt lettered and ruled in black with small Sumerian bird symbol in red top edge gilt. xii 355 pp. A fine copy the text-block perfectly clean and fresh slight mellowing to prelims and fore-edge only the binding very sound and fresh with just a tiny bit of age evidence a beautiful copy. FIRST EDITION AND A POPULAR ACCOUNT OF THE IMPORTANT BABYLONIAN EXPEDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. The author was the only English member of the American expedition giving him a unique perspective on its intentions and discoveries. BY NILE AND EUPHRATES is not a typical expedition log; it is an account of life in an excavator's camp the journey to camp and the people encountered along the way. As British member of Petrie's archeological expedition to Egypt and Mesopotamia Geere was present during the important excavations at Nippur. Nippur was situated on both sides of the ancient bed of the Shatt-en-Nil canal one of the earliest courses of the Euphrates between the present bed of that river and the Tigris almost 160 km southeast of Baghdad. The canal bed divides the site into an East Mound and West Mound. It is represented by the great complex of ruin mounds known to the Arabs as Nuffar written by the earlier explorers Niffer and later as Nippur. Nippur was first excavated briefly by Sir Austen Henry Layard in 1851. But full-scale digging was begun by the expedition from the University of Pennsylvania. The work involved four seasons of excavation between 1889 and 1900 and was led by John Punnett Peters John Henry Haynes and Hermann Volrath Hilprecht all of whom were known to and cited by Geere. Thousands of tablets were found at a smaller mound dubbed "tablet hill" about 7.5 meters in average height and 52 square meters in area southeast of the temple mound.A true arch one of the world's earliest examples was also found. In the Parthian layer a box containing fragments of votive axes made of glass from the Kassite period were found. Several late Kassite rulers are represented including Kurigalzu II. T. & T.

While in London in 1705 Robert Beverley wrote and published The History and Present State of Virginia one of the earliest printed English-language histories about North America by an author born there. Beverley was a scion of Virginia's planter elite at odds with royal governors in the colony. As a native-born American—most famously claiming "I am an Indian"—he provided English readers with the first thoroughgoing account of the province's past natural history Indians and current politics and society. Sabin calls Beverley the "best authority" affording the "most vivid comprehensive instructive and entertaining picture of Virginia at the date of his writing." N. B.

Relacion verdadera de la extraordinaria tormenta que ha tenido la armade Olandesa y Inglesa que estava sobre Dunquerque y de como los nuestros le tomaron y destruyeron toda su pescaria y otros varios successos.

1625ABC_46574Lisbon: Pedro Craesbeeck 1625. Not bound. Folio. With a small woodcut decorated initial opening the text. Rare Spanish propagandistic news publication emphasizing the success of the Spanish fleet against the English and Dutch during the Anglo-Spanish and Eighty Years' War discussing the heavy losses of the Anglo-Dutch fleet on their way to Cádiz in 1625. In 1624 negotiations for the marriage between Charles Prince of Wales son of King James I and the Spanish infanta Maria sister of Philip IV broke down and war broke out because the Spanish court could not accept a marriage as long as Charles refused to convert to Catholicism. In 1625 the English prepared a fleet to sail to Spain more specifically Cádiz an important trading port of the Spanish silver fleet. In October 1625 approximately 100 ships including 15 Dutch warships sailed for Cádiz. Soon the ships were plagued with difficulties especially storms. Many ships were left barely seaworthy and it caused major delays. On 1 November 1625 fleet entered the Bay of Cádiz but in the end the mission failed.The present publication can be seen as Spanish propaganda presented as "news" emphasizing their victories. While sailing to Cádiz the Anglo-Dutch fleet came in heavy weather near Dunkirk. The text describes in great detail how ships went down or how they were captured but also the drowning of many people on board. The present publication in Spanish was printed in Lisbon in 1625 still under the rule of the Spanish monarchs the Crown of Portugal was united with the Crowns of Castile and Aragon from 1580 to 1640. It is an outstanding example of the Spanish annus mirabilis praising the Spanish victories during the wars with England and the Dutch Republic.Edges frayed and slightly browned with a few spots the two leaves nearly separated at the fold some minor foxing and a small jagged tear in the second leaf with minor loss of text. Otherwise in good condition. A rare piece of news and propaganda on the successes of the Spanish fleet against the Dutch and English ships.l Ensayo de bibliografía marítima Española 2467; Palau 257848; Pohler Bibliotheca Historico-Militaris p. 246; USTC 5025988 9 copies; Wilkinson & Lorenzo eds.
