La prima edizione di quest'opera uscì nel 1721 anche se con sole 3 tavole e con testo leggermente differente rispetto alle edizioni succesive. Questa del 1723 è la seconda, stampata da Amaulry anche se con lo stesso anno se ne trovano anche con altre intestazioni di stampatori. Tutte le prime tre edizioni 1721-1723-1724 sono assai rare. Una leggera e assolutamente non fastidiosa gora nel margine basso bianco da pagina 135 a 138 e per il resto, all'interno, in buone-ottime condizioni di conservaizone.

1935186607Little America Antarctica: 1935. One of the 153217 pieces of mail brought to Antarctica during the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition and mailed back to the US. Members of the public could pay 53 cents to have their mail bearing a specially produced stamp and postmark brought south on the expedition's ships and cancelled at Little America. Envelopes were sent from America in two batches. A representative of the postmaster general arrived in Little America in late 1934 with a cancelling machine and the second batch set up a post office and processed all the mail ready for return. "Cancelled mail was wrapped in waterproof paper packed in cartons encased in two heavy mail sacks and locked. It was then stored in a tent outdoors waiting to be loaded on to the next ship. Determined to cancel all the mail Anderson slept only eighteen hours in sixteen days" "Byrd Antarctic Issue". This example was paid for by Sibyl Ann Schaeffer 1899-1971 of Helena Montana and addressed to her mother's address nearby. The enclosed letter is to her young children: "It is great fun to tell you from the 'bottom' of the World that I love you more than I can ever tell you." Accompanying the message is a typewritten poem "Grapenut Cocktail with Cold Byrd." Stamped and franked expedition cover 93 x 165 mm with accompanying letter on 2 onionskin sheets 280 x 215 mm each typed one side only first sheet with handwritten message. Light toning and marking to envelope letters creased at edges: a very good group. "Byrd Antarctic Issue" Smithsonian National Postal Museum. unknown
1957186938Japan: Koide Nobuhirosha c.1957. A charming set of playing cards based on the film Nankyoku Tairiku "The South Pole" recounting the story of the 1956-57 Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. The cards show scenes of penguins the research ship Soya and the expedition members. In 1955 the Japanese government announced plans to send a research group to Antarctica in the following year. A team of 53 scientists led by Professor Nagata Takeshi set off on 8 November 1956 the first time Japan had explored the south pole since the early 1900s. They set up the Syowa Station on East Ongul Island before being emergency airlifted out of a storm. A documentary film focusing on the expedition was released in June 1957 directed by Hayashida Shigeo and titled Nihon nankyoku chiiki kansokutai no kiroku: Nankyoku Tairiku. This game was released to complement the film. Karuta is a traditional Japanese matching game where each pictorial card is assigned a letter of the Japanese alphabet and must be paired with an associated poem sentence or proverb. The player who can make the most matches wins. 90 playing cards 61 x 81 mm landscape or portrait 45 with colour photographic illustrations on one side 45 lettered in black on one side. Housed in original pictorial box 170 x 132 x 35 mm lettered in red and black. Lacking instructional booklet.

1906ANTARCTI024617William Blackwood Edinburgh and London. 1906. First edition. Prefatory Note by William S. Bruce. Octavo. pp xxiv 375. Numerous black-and-white photographs; two folding maps one at rear. Original slate-grey pictorial cloth lettered in white. An account of the Scottish Antarctic Expedition 1902-1905. Peter Speak author of William Speirs Bruce: Polar Explorer and Scottish Nationalist 2003 describes the expedition as "by far the most cost-effective and carefully planned scientific expedition of the Heroic Age" and yet it received no formal honour or recognition from the British government and its members were denied even the prestigious Polar Medal. A major achievement of the expedition was the cataloguing of more than 1100 species of animal life 212 of them previously unknown to science. R.H. Rudmose Brown was the chief botanist. Presentation copy inscribed on the half-title page: "With the kind regards of R.N. Rudmose Brown" and with a short inscription on the headed notepaper of The University Sheffield: "To Mr Hendrickson with happy memories of a day in Green Harbour - R N Rudmose Brown". The recipient Peder Leonard Henrickson 1859-1932 was a harpooner and because of his extensive experience of hunting in Arctic waters was taken on by Fridjof Nansen for the 1893-6 Norwegian Polar Expedition on board the Fram. J. Arthur Bain in his Fridtjof Nansen: His Life and Explorations 1895 describes him thus: "He is a tall square-built man of exceptional physical powers which have often been severely tested. When off Novaya Zemlya in 1888 the schooner Enigheden of Christiansund on which he was harpooner became a total wreck. The storm continuing he was compelled to remain on deck for several days during which he was literally encased in ice. He at last managed to crawl ashore and report says 'was able to thaw and dry his clothes.' His herculean strength has enabled him to endure all hardships and he entered on his latest voyage with an iron constitution and strong resolve." Green Harbour or Gr�nfjorden in Norwegian lies on the southern side of Isfjorden on Spitsbergen's west coast. Rudmose Brown published a book Spitsbergen: An Account of Exploration Hunting the Mineral Riches & Future Potentialities of an Arctic Archipelago 1920 and presumably he met Hendricksen during the course of his researches. Most of the white enamel lettering on the spine had flaked off but is intact together with the illustration on the upper cover. Three closed tears to the folds of the last large map about 5-6cm each. Bump to top corner of front cover. Top corner of the text block of the first few pages slightly bumped. Overall a very good copy indeed. William Blackwood, Edinburgh and London. hardcover
