The sheet music was originally printed in 1902 but is here printed to promote the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The song honors the Bailey Gatzert the most famous Columbia River steamship. Benjamin A. Gifford 1859 – 1936 is considered perhaps Oregon's most famous photographer and his images include the cover photo of the steamship and Multnomah Falls. Original color-printed paper wrappers illustrated with an elaborate border around a color-tinted photo reproduction of the Bailey Gatzert steamship heading up the Columbia River by Benjamin A. Gifford. 10 x 14 in. . . With six text photo reproductions. Some chipping to edges. With the ink ownership stamp of the Portland area piano teacher Lillian R. Bickner 1884 – 1962. A very good copy. "Portland staged its first and only world's fair from June 1 through October 15 1905. During those four and a half months 1588000 paying visitors passed through the gates to the 400-acre fairgrounds on the northwest edge of town…The Lewis and Clark Exposition was conceived so Portland could demonstrate that it could mount a major civic enterprise. The city had had a solid record of economic growth since its founding in 1845 but at the turn of the twentieth century it was competing for investment and immigration with dozens of other cities throughout the American West" Carl Abbott on the Oregon Encyclopedia website.

Numerous rubber stamps having been erased on the margins with repairs on the backs. One page with a large amount of the corner renewed with slight loss. Numerous black and white illustration. 5 folding maps. An index has been cut out from somewhere else and pasted onto the title pages. A good only copy of a rare and fragile item. This volume consists of two issues of the Argentine Geographical Institute journal bound together. The first issue appears to be complete but the second issue just has 3 extracted articles that relate to the Antarctic. The first issue appears to be totally devoted to the Antarctic and many of the articles relate to the recently rescued Swedish Antarctic Expedition. Authors include Skottsberg Nordenskjold Anderson Charcot and Jalour. The second issue includes articles by Scott Harvey and Rudmore Brown. This very scarce Argentine Journal is printed on poor quality paper which probably contributed to its scarcity. The front endpaper is inscribed in Spanish with the following: To His Excellence the President of the delegation of the Republic of Peru at the VIII Pan American Conference at Montevideo in my personal affections and signed perhaps by Francisco Segui who was the editor of the Journal. Not a prime copy but very very scarce. 1904 Local Del Instituto: Arenales 687 hardcover

Fellowes, Peregrine Forbes Morant (1883-1955). Air Commodore who led the expedition and planning for the first flight over MountBiblio.com

TWO AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED by PEREGRINE FELLOWES the air commodore who planned & led the FIRST AVIATION EXPEDITION OVER MOUNT EVEREST to the American impressario and lecture manager James B. Pond planning a series of American lectures by him and his colleagues. Together with Pond's brochure announcing his series of lectures for the 1933 - 1934 season which includes lectures on "The Mount Everest Flight" by Fellowes.

1934100273New York March 29th and April 11th 1934. 1934. Fine. - Two letters the first dated "March 29th/34" is a 4 page letter "written from 1112 Park Avenue New York" with the return address of "22 Chester Street London SW. 1" It consists of over 240 words penned on 4 sides of 6-1/2 inch high by 5-1/8 inch wide creamy white paper. In this first letter Fellowes expresses his conviction that "I think I shall be able to get my colleagues to accept your offer of closing down the contract" for a series of lectures. As he will expect to make a profit he states that he "would not come over unless you could let me know when you had been able to secure a fairly full list of engagements." He mentions that his wife would have to arrange for the expenses of Lieutenant Colonel Stewart Blacker's wife. "We are both particularly anxious to visit the West Coast & if the majority of my engagements lay in that direction I should avoid circumscribing Blacker's i.e. Lieut.-Col. Stewart Blacker activities. I feel there is a great chance he may be coming over too." Signed "Peregrine Fellowes".The second letter dated "April 11th/34" is a 5-1/2 page letter consisting of over 320 words penned on 6 sides of two 7 inch high by 5-1/2 inch wide sheets of "Peover Hall Over Peover Cheshire" stationery. Following up with Pond Fellowes writes that "We are now negotiating with Gaumont British to obtain a definite agreement as to our lecture rights over the main film." He informs Pond that his colleagues are agreeable to the terms and says that "Colonel Etherton Colonel Percy T. Etherton who is a very good & amusing lecturer would be willing to bring over some really excellent Indian short films of Nepal & Sikkim & lecture under your aegis for the whole season." He closes with a postscript stating that "Blacker won't be coming over until 1935 & has not yet definitely settled anything." Signed "Peregrine Fellowes".Both letters are in near fine condition and are offered together with Pond's 50-page illustrated brochure "Announcement of Attractions 1933.1934" for lectures under the aegis of the Pond Bureau. The brochure includes a full-page announcement of a lecture titled "The Mount Everest Flight. The official story of Man's Conquest by Air of the last of the world's unexplored areas told by Air-Commodore P.F.M. Fellowes".Air Commodore Peregrine Forbes Morant Fellowes 1883-1955 led the expedition and planning for the first flight over Mount Everest in 1933. He co-authored with Stewart Blacker and Percy Thomas Etherton "First Over Everest! : The Houston-Mount Everest Expedition 1933" published by John Lane in that year. Although Fellowes led the expedition he did not actually fly in it except for his reconnaissance flights. The flights themselves were piloted by Douglas Douglas-Hamilton Lord Clydesdale and David McIntyre with Stewart Blacker and Sidney Bonnett in the observer seats.As an airman Peregrine Fellowes led a raid against the lock gates at Zeebrugge in the First World War during which he was wounded crash landed in the North Sea and rescued by the Germans. He spent the remainder of the war as a POW. He later served in the Middle East and opened the first regular air route between Cairo and Baghdad. He was selected to lead the first Everest Air Expedition in 1933. Making use of specially designed Westland Wallaces the expedition made the first successful flight over Mount Everest and though Fellowes didn't fly himself his organizational and diplomatic skills were crucial to the success of the challenging expedition. The main difficulties resided in keeping the crew alive in the low pressure and cold temperatures at this elevation. Fellowes and Stewart Blacker who flew in one of the observer seats obtained the necessary papers from the various governments including those of India and Nepal. Tibet refused permission. They convinced the Royal Geographical Society that they'd provide valuable information for the subsequent 1933 British Mount Everest Expedition to the summit and also seek evidence as to George Mallory and Andrew Irvine's disappearance during their 1924 climb. Requiring clear weather over the mountains Fellows reconnoitered on a daily basis by flying a Puss Moth plane every morning for 9 days before conditions were found to be reasonably suitable. The expedition set milestones for development in aviation technology and photography. Though the aerial photographs were too late to assist the 1933 British climbers they were later used by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to plan their route to the top of Everest in 1953. New York, March 29th and April 11th, 1934.

This copy is complete with the full complement of plates in Volume 4 ten of which are sometimes found excised from this edition 'at the request of Central Australian Aboriginal custodians as they illustrate things persons or events which according to their traditional customs may only be seen by initiated males' from the publisher's note present in these sets; it is our understanding that only sets sold at or through the Horn Expedition Commemorative Symposium held at Alice Springs in 1994 underwent this operation. The purpose of the original scientific expedition sponsored by mining magnate and philanthropist William Austin Horn and with Charles Winnecke as commander and surveyor was to examine the MacDonnell Ranges on the not unreasonable premise that 'when the rest of the Continent was submerged the elevated portions of the McDonnell sic Range existed as an island and that consequently older forms of life might be found in the more inaccessible parts'. This in fact proved not to be the case but the expedition of some fourteen weeks and 2000 miles by camel was an outstanding success. 'It was not the intention . to explore a new region . But in the pursuit of natural history the expedition split into independent groups and explored undiscovered areas thus filling in more of the blank spaces in this vast region' Feeken Feeken and Spate. 'These volumes constitute one of the most substantial contributions in nineteenth-century Australian exploration but perhaps more importantly the expedition is a landmark in anthropological history because it resulted in Baldwin Spencer meeting Frank Gillen' Mulvaney.
