Compton's paper: pp. 483- 501. <br/><br/><em>First printing of this milestone paper in quantum physics in which Compton verifies Planck's quantum postulate and found that some of the X-rays had in scattering lenghtened their wavelenght. This phenomena was called the "Compton Effect" in his honour. For this discovery Compton received the Nobel prize in physics in 1927."Compton was able to account for this lenghtening of wavelenght by presuming that a photon of light struch an electron which recoiled subtracting some energy from the photon and therefore increasing its wavelenght. This made it seem that a photon acted as a particle: thus after more than a century the particulate natuer of light as evolved by Newton was revived. What itamounted to was that Compton brought to fruition the view that electromagnetic radiation had both a wave aspect and a particle aspect and that the aspect which was most evident depended on how the radiation was tested. De Broglie was at the same time showing that this held true also for ordinary particles such as electrons."

191722798London 1917. Very good condition. The salver was presented as a wedding gift to Royal Navy officer CHARLES ROYDS 1876-1931 the Discovery's first lieutenant after whom Cape Royds in Antarctica is named. The salver has specially crafted feet fashioned after penguin's feet.<br /> <br /> The Discovery expedition was the first led by Captain Robert Scott and was arranged by the Joint Antarctic Committee composed of members from the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society. Known as the British National Antarctic Expedition the goal of the expedition was the scientific exploration of South Victoria Land and the ice barrier as well as the interior of the Antarctic continent. Its achievements included the discovery of the polar plateau and Scott's ascent the first ever in a hot air balloon over Antarctica. It was also the first to do extensive land exploration on the continent and went the furthest south by a sledge reaching 82 16' S. One of the unexpected contributions was the introduction to the Antarctic of so many future explorers as it included Ernest Shackleton Frank Wild & Edgar & Edward Evans. Scott returned to Antarctica a second time aboard the Terra Nova. That expedition which commenced in 1910 developed into a race against the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen to become the first to reach the South Pole. Amundsen attained the goal on January 4 1912 beating Scott by two weeks. Scott's expedition ended tragically when he and four companions perished on their return march from the South Pole after failing to reach a supply depot.<br /> <br /> Royd's had a very distinguished list of Antarcticans attending his wedding. But there are a number of ghostly presences that might have been there. Both Scott and Edward Wilson died in 1911 in their attempt to be the first to the South Pole. Ernest Shackleton was on duty in Northern Russia as was Frank Wild. These two were to return to the Antarctic in the Shackleton's Endurance expedition which is one of the greatest stories of survival ever told. Dr. Koettlitz died in 1916. <br /> <br /> The silver salver was made by Goldsmiths & Silversmith's Co. Regent St. London in 1917. It has a scalloped rope edge and four ball and claw feet is inscribed with the seal of the Discovery Voyage depicting icebergs and a penguin encircled within a heraldic belt. Below the seal is the engraved inscription "To Captain C.W. Royds R.N. on his marriage October 5th 1918 from his old messmates in the ‘Discovery' 1901-1904." <br /> <br /> Surrounding the inscription are the engraved signatures of:<br /> <br /> Scottish Royal Navy captain ALBERT B. ARMITAGE 1864-1943; "Albert B. Armitage" was the Discovery's second-in-command. "Armitage had been second in command of the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition to Spitsbergen. In recognition of this he received the Murchison award from the Royal Geographical Society. Armitage was the oldest man in the expedition and his years of Arctic service gave him more such experience than anyone else on the Discovery except Koettlitz. The contrasts between Armitage and Scott were noteworthy. Armitage had a good deal of experience with ships under sail; Scott did not. Armitage had three years of polar work; Scott had none" Scott of the Antarctic Huxley. Cape Armitage the southernmost point on Ross Island is named in his honor.<br /> <br /> LOUIS BERNACCHI 1876-1942; "L. C. Bernacchi" was a Tasmanian physicist and astronomer of Italian extraction. His first polar journey was with Carsten Borchgrevink's Southern Cross expedition 1898-1901 along with Hodgson above. For his work on the Discovery voyage Bernacchi was decorated by the Royal Geographical Society and awarded the Légion d'honneur. Scott was the best man at his wedding. Bernacchi explored regions of Africa and South America wrote several books on the Antarctic was a member of the Royal Geographic Society and served in the British and United States military during World War I. His attempts to raise funds for a 1925 Antarctic expedition failed. Antarctica's Bernacchi Head and Bay honor his name.<br /> <br /> MICHAEL BARNE 1877-1961; "Michael Barne". Barne's responsibilities as a member of Scott's Discovery expedition was to keep records of the voyage. A recipient of the Polar Medal Barne "had been a shipmate of Scott on the Majestic. and was appointed second officer by the committee in June 1900. His duties including assisting Armitage with magnetic studies and taking charge of deep-sea temperature research" Pilgrims on the Ice: Robert Falcon Scott's first Antarctic Expedition Baughman. An Antarctic cape glacier and inlet are named after him.<br /> <br /> GEORGE FRANCIS ARTHUR MULOCK 1882-1963; "George F.A. Mulock". Mulock had joined the relief vessel Morning that resupplied Scott's ships in the Antarctic. In 1902 he came aboard the Discovery to replace Ernest Shackleton who had fallen ill. Mulock served as a surveyor and cartographer during the mission publishing his results as Survey Work of the National Antarctic 1901-04 for which he was awarded the Polar Medal. He had a distinguished career in both World War I and II during which time he was held captive by the Japanese. The Mulock Inlet and Glacier are named in his honor.<br /> <br /> Marine biologist THOMAS VERE HODGSON 1864-1926; "T.V. Hodgson" did pioneering work aboard the Discovery and was the first person to describe the Antarctic's deep sea floor. Prior to joining the Discovery he had been a member of Carsten Borchgrevink's Southern Cross expedition 1898-1901. Cape Hodgson in the Ross Archipelago is named after him.<br /> <br /> Royal Navy officer REGINALD W. SKELTON 1872-1956; "Reginald W. Skelton" was the Discovery's chief engineer and official photographer. Despite the long-standing friendship between Scott and Skelton he was passed over as second-in-command on Scott's fatal 1910 Terra Nova expedition. An Antarctic inlet and three glaciers are named in his honor.<br /> <br /> CYRIL LONGHURST "Cyril Longhurst" was the secretary of the Discovery expedition and served as best man at Shackleton's wedding. Mount Cyril in Antarctica is named after him.<br /> <br /> HARTLEY TRAVERS FERRAR 1879-1932; "H.T. Ferrar" was born in Ireland raised in South Africa and educated as a geologist in England. A relatively young and inexperienced member of the voyage Ferrar met the woman he would marry while the Discovery was docked in New Zealand. His expedition duties included making geological surveys classifying what became known as the Ferrar or Beacon sandstone layer and discovering the first Antarctic fossils. He later conducted geological research in Egypt Palestine and New Zealand. The Ferrar Glacier is named for him.<br /> <br /> Following the Discovery expedition Royds continued his career in the Royal Navy. While commanding the battleship HMS Emperor of India he was given our lovely sterling silver platter to honor his marriage to Mary Louisa Blane a widow and retired actress. After the war Royds was an instructor at the Admiralty retiring from the navy as a rear-admiral. Thereafter he enjoyed a second career as deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police for which he received a knighthood.<br /> <br /> A unique object. Professionally polished and in fine condition save a few very faint scuffs. unknown

19671458751967. Archive of eight vintage borderless photographs three typescript essays and a carbon typescript of the first essay and first page of the second by photographer Jerry Bauer circa 1967 with the photographs corresponding to the topics of the essays. <br/><br/>Bauer was an American photographer best known for his photographic portraits of writers with his portraits of Samuel Beckett being held in particularly high regard. Much of his work resides in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London.<br/><br/>The first essay "The American Underground: Mind Expansion A Messiah 'Love'" is an examination of Timothy Leary and the "League for Spiritual Discovery" LSD a communal organization carrying out studies in the religious use of psychedelic drugs as well as the effects of LSD. Two photographs are of the New York Millbrook estate mentioned in the essay one of the centers for the group one photograph of the estate itself and the other of two participants on the porch. Another photograph shows three young people lounging on a bed a young man with beads in his hand matching the description in the essay of a subject's focus on "a set of beads" and a description of the living quarters being ". . . simple: mattresses on the floor." <br/><br/>The second essay "American Underground : Mind Expansion The Poets 'Love' 2" is broken into three sections. The first is about the musical group The Fugs who Bauer describes as "the Beatles of the American underground." Two of the photographs in and around Washington Square Park feature members of The Fugs one of a gleaming Ed Sanders and Geoff Outlaw with two unidentified young women. In a second photograph the same group is on the grass along with Ken Weaver and a third unidentified young woman.<br/><br/>The second section of the essay is about "the two stars" of the underground film movement Andy Warhol stars Baby Jane Holzer and Edie Sedgewick with a corresponding photograph taken in Warhol's Factory showing Ingrid Superstar sitting on a mattress Baby Jane Holzer on the floor with her back to the camera along with several unidentified subjects. Holzer is identified from a published photograph by Bauer titled "Baby Jane Holzer" taken at the same time as the one in the archive.<br/><br/>The final section of the essay is a about American youth and drug culture in Greenwich Village as well as the neighborhood itself. Here the related photographs are of several young people seated on the grass one playing the guitar in Washington Square Park and one of several people standing around a Greenwich Village intersection.<br/><br/>The third essay "Andy Warhol: Film Director of America's Underground" is a study of Warhol's early experimental films. Beginning with a brief summation of Warhol's early career Bauer goes on to postulate about Warhol's films discussing the director's various regulars including Elekro Baby Jane Holzer Sally Kirkland Nico here spelled "Nicot" and others.<br/><br/>Photographs: Six photographs 10.75 x 8.25 inches two photographs 10.75 x 8 inches.
