181824993London: John Baskett and others printers 1818. 12 works folio. 12 1/2 x 8 inches and smaller. Disbound or stitched<br/> <br/> A fascinating series spanning the whole of the period when whaling was carried out on a successful commercial basis in the waters off Greenland.<br/> <br/> After an abortive start by the South Sea Company between 1724 and 1732 the British whaling fleet operated off Greenland and the Davis Strait throughout the remainder of the 18th century with increasing success due to a large degree to the succession of bounties granted to ship owners by the British Government. The present selection of acts of parliament includes a number concerning the bounty: the first dated 16th January 1732 makes law "that a Bounty will be paid on the Return of every Ship of 200 tons and over imployed by His Majesty's Subjects in the Whale Fishery". For the bounty to be paid certain stringent criteria had to be met; these increased as the century progressed. By the time of the last Act in the present group March 1818 the Greenland whalers were reporting declining catches and were already beginning to turn their attention to other whaling grounds i.e. largely in the Pacific and Antarctic. This group offers and interesting series of snapshots of the industry during its most productive century. The acts comprise: 1. An Act for encouraging the Greenland Fishery. 1732. Stitched later wrappers. Exemption from duty extended for a nine year period. 2. An Act for the further Encouragment of the Whale Fishery carried on by His Majesty's British Subjects. 1733. Stitched later wrappers. The introduction of a bounty for ships over 200 tons. 3. An Act for continuing the several Laws therein mentioned . including granting a further Bounty for all Ships employed in the Whale Fishery during the present War; for exempting Harponers and others . from being impressed. No date but circa 1750. Spine reinforced. The bounty raised by a third other measures to help the trade. 4. An Act for granting a additional Bounty on Ships employed in the Greenland and Whale Fishery for a limited time. No adte but circa 1761. Disbound.

1651123971London: 1651. A printed petition signed by English whalers and fishers around Greenland opposing the monopolistic practices of the Greenland Company addressed to the parliament of the new Commonwealth. The petitioners led by Richard Warner claim that the Greenland Company is both abusing its position and under-utilizing it: "the Greenland Company strive to hinder all Englishmen saving those of their own Company from fishing there which are an inconsiderable handful of about 30. or 40. persons and yet they do nothing neer send out sufficient shipping to supply this Common-wealth with oyl or whalefinn". The petitioners state that if trade was liberalized "there would be twice or thrice as many ships sent every year for Greenland are now by the Greenland Company. and this nation supplied with a full quantity of fish oyls at cheap rates without the help of forraigners; yea and in a few years be able to transport into forraign nations for their supply". The petitioners also state that the men of the Company have used violence against competitors and demand restitution.

19201831<p>GREENLAND ESKIMOS: A Greenlandic landscape with a house and two Inuits preparing food over the fire signed Emanuel A. Petersen. Oil on canvas measures 14.5 x 20.8 inches 37×53 cm a few minor peelings crackling circa 1920s.</p><p>Emanuel A. Petersen 1894-1948 is famous as a "<em>Grønlands-maler</em>" painting in a romantic style at a time when photography was already documenting the landscape. He aimed at a beautification a certain perception of harmony showing nature people and dwellings from a distance; he does not share in the life of the scene but records and reproduces. Petersen's view was not one from the inside out but from the outside in. His gaze was mostly concerned with a pictorial and natural beauty the beauty of colours and of light.</p>
