1856WRCAM34064Copenhagen: Emilius Baerentzen 1856. Two volumes. 46; 31 lithographic plates some in color each followed by descriptive text. Chromolithographic title. Oblong folio. Contemporary maroon cloth ornate gilt- lettered covers a.e.g. Second volume rebacked at an early date corners repaired. Rubbed. Minor foxing. Occasionally dampstaining in lower margin. Images generally clean. Old ownership stamp on front fly leaf of first volume. Very good. An impressive lithographic tour of Denmark and her colonies. While the majority of the plates show local Danish scenes and landscapes nine views show scenes in America: three in Greenland and six of islands in the Danish West Indies the eventual U.S. Virgin Islands. The views in America are: <br> <br> Greenland: <br> <br> 1 "Parti ved Jakobshavn. Grönland." Chromolithograph of a native hunting party gathered on an icy shore. <br> <br> 2 "Colonie Omenak. Grönland." View of a small Greenland colony with a large ship offshore and clusters of colonists engaged in various activities in the foreground. <br> <br> 3 "Kingoa-Dalen. Grönland." View of a traveling party cooking on an open fire in a lush valley. Perhaps the party was on a portage; a canoe is shown in the lower left corner. <br> <br> Danish West Indies now the U.S. Virgin Islands: <br> <br> 1 "Christianssted. St. Croix." A panoramic view of the harbor showing a large church and Danish fort. <br> <br> 2 "St. Jan. Parti af det Indre." A wide view of the lush landscape showing settlers cooking over an open fire in the foreground. <br> <br> 3 "Cruxbay. St. Jan." A pastoral scene of activity just outside the settlement walls. <br> <br> 4 "Parti af St. Thomas." A cityscape of the port of St. Thomas displaying the city's impressive architecture. <br> <br> 5 "Parti ved Frederikssted. St. Croix." A river scene showing five men in a rowboat trolling for fish and a large Danish fort to the far right. <br> <br> 6 "St. Thomas. Parti af Byen og Havnen." A close-up view of the harbor showing a bustling downtown area and a full port including an early steamer. <br> <br> An attractive and rare assemblage of views. In addition to the Greenland chromolithograph five additional chromolithographs of Danish scenes are present along with scenes in Iceland and the Faroe Islands. There are very few visual images of the U.S. Virgin Islands from this early date. Emilius Baerentzen hardcover books

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>

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. The broadside is of great rarity - the only copy in institutional holdings is the British Library copy in the Thomason collection which bears the annotated date of 6 January 1650 although ESTC following Wing dates the publication to 1651. Folio broadside 321 x 234 mm. Light chipping around extremities without loss to type central crease. A very good copy. ESTC R212070; Thomason 669.f.1571; Wing W914.

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.
