Henry Hudson (ca. 1565-1611) was an early 17th century English sea explorer and navigator, best known for his explorations of present-day Canada and parts of the northeastern United States. In 1607 and 1608, Hudson made two attempts on behalf of English merchants to find a rumored Northeast Passage to Cathay (China) via a route above the Arctic Circle. In 1609 he landed in North America and explored the region around the modern New York metropolitan area, looking for a Northwest Passage to Asia on behalf of the Dutch East India Company. He sailed up the Hudson River, which was later named for him, and thereby laid the foundation for Dutch colonization of the region. Hudson discovered the Hudson Strait and the immense Hudson Bay on his final expedition, while still searching for the Northwest Passage. In 1611, after wintering on the shore of James Bay, Hudson wanted to press on to the west, but most of his crew mutinied. The mutineers cast Hudson, his son, and seven others adrift; the Hudsons and their companions were never seen again. - Wiki. This scarce book details the background of Hudson's exploits. NW22

Paris, Calmann-Lévy, 1889. Grand in-8 ; 136 pp. Pleine toile bleue Bradel, pièce de titre noire, couvertures imprimées conservées. " Pièce de théâtre " brodée " sur le thème du Salon, où l'on retrouve les noms de tous les artistes de l'époque, commentés et caricaturés par Gyp, qui inventa le personnage du petit Bob, gamin " gavroche ", pseudonyme qu'elle utilisait pour ses caricatures et ses dessins enfantins. Elle-même exposa au Salon". Gyp a peint, voire caricaturé, avec un rare don d'observation, le monde d'oisifs, de riches et de mondains, les parvenus et les aristocrates dégnérés de la haute société parisienne et cela, , non comme l'eût fait un auteur, car ses libertés de langage sont grandes, mais en spectateur narratif, malicieux sans nulle méchanceté, attaché surtout aux ridicules évidents de son entourage. 56 dessins en noir à pleine page, dessins caricaturaux et naïfs pleins d'humour. Bel exemplaire.
