1942206849Chicago.: Chicago Daily Tribune. 28 January1942. Printed colour map 40.3 x 53.6 cm; 46.5 x 60 cm sheet inset map of the North Pacific back cover from a section of the Chicago Daily Tribune newspaper pages 21-34 January 28 1942; central fold edgewear and browning with a few minor tears not affecting the map in very good condition. Based on a Rand McNally map and issued less than two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbour by the Japanese. The Tribune briskly got to work issuing maps for readers showing the beginnings of the war with Japan. Later maps were also published for sale separately but remarkably few have survived. The map shows "the nearness of our Aleutian Island chain west of Alaska to the islands of Japan. At Dutch Harbor and other points in the Aleutians are actual and potential sea and air bases lying on the shortest route from northwestern United States to Japan." The inset map at lower right situates the areas in the larger map in respect to the countries bordering the North Pacific Ocean. <br> <br>Included with the map is the complete newspaper section from which it is the final full page. Covering sport and the market with half a dozen popular comic strips including "Dick Tracy" and "Little Orphan Annie" it shows a domestic United States a world away from what had been seen as a European War. <br> <br>". the historic Chicago Tribune was an innovator in color inks and printing but also a pioneer in bringing colorful art in the form of illustrations photographs cartoons and advertisements to the average person in an everyday medium." see The Janet A.

1888134827Sydney: Kerry & Jones 308 George Street 1888. Sydney Kerry & Jones 308 George Street 1888. A high-gloss gelatin silver photograph 222 × 296 mm laid down within a gilt border on the original cardboard mount with the photographic studio's details in gilt in the bottom margin. Also mounted there is a small gelatin silver photograph 47 × 165 mm of the signatures of the eight participants 'Government House Sydney Jan. 25 1888' is written below the original signatures. The item is in a contemporary frame wood with gilt-decorated plaster a little chipped now lacking the original glass visible image size 315 × 350 mm external dimensions 423 × 458 mm. The contemporary label of Cole's Book Arcade Melbourne is mounted on the verso. The main photograph has a couple of tiny surface chips to the top edge and a few tiny marks to the bottom right-hand corner; the mount is a little marked possibly lightly water-streaked but fortunately the photograph is untouched; these trifling blemishes have little impact on this fine portrait. This informal group portrait features the Governors of each of the Australian colonies along with the Governors of Fiji and New Zealand. It was taken on 25 January 1888 the day before the centenary of the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson the main reason for their presence in Sydney. It features left to right Sir Robert George Crookshank Hamilton 1836-1895 KCB LLD Governor and Commander in Chief of Tasmania and its dependencies; Sir Anthony Musgrave 1828-1888 GCMG Governor of Queensland; Sir Charles Bullen Hugh Mitchell 1836-1899 Governor of Fiji; Henry Brougham Loch 1st Baron Loch 1827-1900 GCP GCMG PC Governor and Commander in Chief of Victoria; Charles Robert Wynn-Carrington 1st Marquess of Lincolnshire 1843-1928 KG GCMG PC JP DL Governor of New South Wales; Sir Frederick Napier Broome 1842-1896 KCMG Governor of Western Australia; Lieutenant General Sir William Francis Drummond Jervois 1821-1897 GCMG CB FRS Governor of New Zealand; and Sir William Cleaver Francis Robinson 1834-1897 GCMG FRGS Governor of South Australia. <p>Extensive research notes come with this item; they were compiled with the assistance of Dr John Fahey author of 'Australia's First Spies' Sydney 2018 and 'Traitors and Spies: Espionage and Corruption in High Places in Australia 1901-1950' Sydney 2018. Among much else the notes have identified a slightly variant photograph taken at the same time as this one held by the Blue Mountains City Library; the identity of the sitters comes from a letter and diagram sent to them from the Mitchell Library in 1929. 'From the various sources available most notably the title given by the State Library of New South Wales this photograph commemorates an unofficial side-meeting of these Governors to discuss Australia's interests in the South Pacific'. Dr Fahey puts it more succinctly when he says it likely offers 'evidence of one of our earliest "secret" off to the side policy conferences'. The notes provide a lot more background information for the purchaser. A few incidentals not mentioned there: Sir Anthony Musgrave was Governor of South Australia from 1873 to 1877 and he died on 9 October 1888; Sir William Jervois was Governor of South Australia from 1877 to 1883; Sir William Robinson was Governor of Western Australia three times between 1875 and 1895 1875-1877 1880-1883 and 1890-1895. Provenance: the Sloane Pastoral Family of the Riverina purchased at the estate clearing sale in April 2021. Kerry & Jones, 308 George Street unknown

The peoples and customs of Papua as seen through the eyes of an artist ; B&W Illustrations; 8vo; 230 pages
23 pages. Plus a large fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 22.75 x 16.5 inches (58 x 42cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. An account of the author's extensive explorations in the part of the North Island known as the King Country and Lake Country, traversing 600 miles through Maoriland and six hundred miles around King County just after the area was opened for railway survey and construction. The author's explorations resulted in the discovery of twenty-five rivers not previously shown on the maps and two small lakes; he examined the hydrography of lake Taupo, traced the sources of four of the principal rivers of the colony - the Whanganui, Waikato, Whangaehu, and Manganui-a-te-Ao - ascended Tongariro (7300 feet) and examined its active crater, ascended Mount Ruapehu (9000 feet), the highest peak of the North Island; ascended the Kaimanawa Mountains to an altitude of 4000 feet, examined the flora and collected some specimens of Alpine plants. This is a highly illuminating account with valuable description of the region of Lake Taupo, the Rangipo tableland, the Kaimanawa mountains, ascent of Tongariro and Ruaoehu, the Manganui a-te-Ao, hot springs of Tongariro, source of the Whanganui, and valley of the Waipa. Accompanied by a spectacular large colour map of the King Country and neighbouring district from the explorations of Kerry-Nicholls in April and May of 1883, very detailed with names of newly discovered rivers, plains and lakes that were not previously shown on the maps, as well as the author's route and a data table of altitudes, camping places and principal stations of observations along the route traversed.
