190517219Portland Oregon: Published by Fisher Music Co. Lithographed by Anderson & Duniway Co. 1905 First edition of this sheet music as printed for the Lewis and Clark Exposition second edition overall. 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.

With the exception of a very few fogged images the negatives are in excellent condition.</p><p>An <strong>exceptional ensemble</strong> of five albums and one binder comprising 415 photographic negatives including 32 strips documenting the <strong>first two expeditions of the vessel <em>Commandant Charcot</em> to Adélie Land in Antarctica 19481950.</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 <strong>Paul-Émile Victor 19071995</strong> already famed for his Greenland expeditions. To this end the <em>Expéditions Polaires Françaises Missions Paul-Émile Victor EPF</em> was founded in 1947 to organize new scientific ventures in Greenland and Adélie Land.</p><p>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 <strong>Commandant Charcot</strong> in honor of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot 18671936.</p><p>The ship sailed on <strong>26 November 1948</strong> 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 <em>Commandant Charcot</em> 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.</p><p>A <strong>second expedition</strong> 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 <strong>20 January 1950</strong> where a basenamed <strong>Port-Martin</strong> in his memorywas established. The <em>Commandant Charcot</em> departed on 8 February leaving the scientific team to winter over and returned to Brest on 10 June 1950.</p><p>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 <strong>Luc-Marie Bayle 19142000</strong> 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 <em>De Brest en Terre Adélie</em>.</p><p>Bayle also published a humorous illustrated account of these expeditions: <em>Le Voyage de la Nouvelle Incomprise</em> Paris Ozanne 1953 and produced two documentary films on his journeys to Adélie Land.</p><p><strong>Selected Bibliography:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Bayle L.-M. <em>Le Voyage de la Nouvelle Incomprise</em> Paris Ozanne 1953.</p></li><li><p>Bayle L.-M.

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.<br> 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.<br> 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.
