		1st edition, 2nd impression, December 1919, one month after the 1st impression. The account of Shackleton's amazing story of survival during the "Endurance" expedition. Over all the second impression used far superior paper to the first and  because of this there is not the brown brittleness commonly found in the first impression. The silver gilt is very bright making this a very desirable copy.  See Spence 1107.   Sml. 4to, (xxi) 376pp, col. frontis & b&w plts in text. Original blue cloth w/ silver gilt title and silhouette of "Endurance" trapped in the ice. Scattered fox spotting, light foxing on foredge.  Cloth very lightly rubbed at edges, overall a very bright copy.

	<![CDATA[ 
		Extremely rare and early map of the Southern Hemisphere that attempts to define the assumed Great South land mass, including today's Australia, Antarctica, Indonesia, South Africa & Argentina.  The top of the map has an interesting Mercator projection of Patagonia achingly close to a large land mass "Terrae Australis Pars".  C. Della Victoria and the illustration of Magellan's ship the Victoria bears witness to his discovery of the strait that now bears his name.  Below is a polar projection of a great south land entitled "Terra Australis". Within the Antarctic Circle, termed "Terra Incognitia" is an array of mountains and 3 large named rivers.  Part of the coast (actually the north coast of Australia) is marked with Marco Polo's kingdoms of Beach, Lucach and Maletur. This is a German re-engraving of the Wytfliet Map dated 1597 (Spence 3010), but is much rare than it (see discussion below).  German text on the verso with the header "Chica" above one page.  The Quad map of a year later (Spence 3011) included the addition of "Fretum Magellanicum" at the Straights. (see Tooley plt 102).   Oddly, the Metellus is not in Spence, but should be between 3010 and 3011.  See Schilder fig. 6 for the Wyfliet map.  Copper engraving, 22 x 28.5 cms."Wytfliet and Metellus produced the first separate printed maps of the Southern Hemisphere. Both are foundation maps of America and Australia. The Wytfliet is known to have been produced in 1597, the Metellus, which is much rarer and seldom available on the market, is usually dated 1598 but some scholars have argued the possibility that it may precede the Wytfliet. The Metellus is acknowledged as, by far, the finer engraving of the two, which, along with its rarity and importance, makes it a focal point of any collection of early American and Australian maps." (After Casten). "As with the Cornelis Wytfliet a year earlier this publication contained a set of maps relating to the Americas only. All but one are derived from the Wytfliet. These were used to illustrate the German edition of José de Acosta's 'De Natura Nova Orbis', first published in Salamanca, 1588. Acosta was a Spanish Jesuit missionary, historian and cosmographer. The maps, however, are attributed to Johannes Matalius Metellus (Jean Matal in his native French), a very well respected geographer of his day. In the 'America sive Novus Orbis' of 1600, he is named as the cartographer of the maps but, most probably, did not see their completion as he died in 1597. The work was finished by a friend, Meurer identifies him as Conrad Loew, a pseudonym for Matthias Quad. Born in Burgundy, 1520, Metellus spent much of his working life in Louvain where, of course, the Wytfliet atlas was published. However, he spent his last years in Cologne, dying in 1597. This leads us to the possibility thet the Metellus actually pre-dates the Wytfliet as the first atlas concentrating on America. A number of questions are posed. Is there an earlier edition still unknown, as all issues are extremely rare ? Is Metellus the true author of the Wytfliet maps? All issues have text on the back, and are extremely rare." (Burden on the Conibas map) Only a handful examples of the Metellus books are known, see Burden 115 for a list of locations.

		Scarce handbill advertising a lecture by Sir Philip Brocklehurst, who was the youngest member of Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition of 1907 - 1909 (known as the Nimrod Expedition) which was the first to reach the magnetic South Pole.  Brocklehurst, who served as assistant geologist, paid two thousand pounds to guarantee himself a place on the expedition.  He was a talented amateur photographer whose pictures appeared in Shackleton's 'The Heart of the Antarctic'.  The text of the handbill reads: "A Lantern Lecture will be given in the Town Hall, Cheadle, on Wednesday, 6th April, 1910, on the South Pole Expedition by Sir Philip Brocklehurst, Bart.  (A member of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Party).  Chair to be taken at 8 o'clock, by C. J. Blagg, Esq.  The Proceeds will be given to the New Organ Fund of the Cheadle Parish Church".  5 1/8 x 8 1/8".  Printed on one side, with handwritten receipt on the verso for payment from Miss Gertrude Nutt to Blagg, Son & Masefield, the Cheadle law firm where C. J. Blagg, Esq., who introduced the lecture, was employed.  One vertical crease, o/w very good.

		The author, US Antarctic Projects Officer, makes observations of his visits to the Argentine stations; he writes in his abstract that the objectives of the Argentine Antarctic expedition were to resupply and relieve the Belgrano and Ellsworth stations in the Weddell Sea, and to establish a joint Army-air Force base on Robertson Island. "The task which weighed most heavily upon the Argentines ... was the relief (of the stations).  At these installations, 47 men had been forced to remain a second winter because of the inability of the icebreaker .. to penetrate the ice pack in January 1960.  ... it would be nearly impossible for them to endure a third (winter), either physically or psychologically." p3.  In addition, the ships were to resupply stations in the northern Palmer Peninsula, and in the South Shetland and South Orkney Islands; and make a reconnaissance down the west side of the Palmer Peninsula, while conducting scientific studies.  Contents include: Buenos Aires, Ara Bahia Aguirre, Relief of Belgrano and Ellsworth, Roberston Island Operations, Epilogue.  With Appendices.  8vo, 63pp, with 3 hand drawn printed maps.  Typed manuscript, staple bound.  Cover slt toned top edge, o/w very good.

		A small folio album of letterpress ephemera and newspaper & magazine clippings pertaining to the Scott tragedy in the Antarctic.  The compiler was one J.W. Stones Esq., who bequeathed it on his death in September 1943 to the Southport Public Libraries.  The compiler had clearly followed Scott's career, and clipped all manner of newspaper clippings and magazine articles and pictures, running over 70 pages.  He penned two poems about the Antarctic.  The first was about the Discovery expedition, which he sent to Scott in 1903.  The poem appears in a letterpress entitled "The Discovery", along with a typed copy of a response from Scott- "... London. Dec. 4/03, Dear Sir, I am very grateful to you for the lines which you were good enough to write about the "Discovery", and for your kindness in sending me a copy.  I shall value them highly. Yours very truly (signed) Robert F. Scott.". (p.7).  The poetry is printed without an author, but "J.W.S." has noted his initials at the bottom in pen.  There is also a letterpress, mounted on the front endpaper, "In Memoriam.  The Heroes of the Antarctic" with black border, with J.W.S. listed as the author at the bottom.  The author also includes a typed response from Edward R.G.R.Evans, dated April 25, 1913 "Dear Sir, Many thanks for the poem you have written, --"The Heroes of the Antarctic".  It is very good of you to send it to me, and I shall place it amongst the tributes that have been received to the memory of Captain Scott and his gallant companions of the Southern journey.  Yours sincerely, (signed) Edward R.G.R Evans.  The bulk of the album is extensive clippings from newspapers and magazine from the time of the events.  Ex-Southport Public Libraries, with library slips front and back, with some stamps, and light call numers on the spine.  Gray cloth binding with leather label on front cover with gilt title and rules (somewhat rubbed with slight loss).  Edges & spine tips rubbed through but overall a nice copy.  An unusually dense recording of the public perception of the Scott tragedy, nice with the addition of Mr. Stones' poetry, which we could not easily find a publication location, leading us to wonder if Stones self-published them.

		The author, a member of the Australian Antarctic Exploration Committee of 1886, argues in favor of the exploration of Antarctica: "it would indeed be strange if an unexplored region 8,000,000 square miles in area -- twice the size of Europe -- and grouped around the axis of rotation and the magnetic pole could fail to yield to investigators some novel and valuable information" (p293).

	<![CDATA[ 
		This postal cover was sent from E.J. (Pete) Demas, a member of the Richard E. Byrd Antarctic Expedition II, to E.C. Humes of Neisner Brothers in Rochester, New York, who was apparently a fan of the expedition. It features a 3-cent 1933 commemorative Byrd Antarctic Expedition II postal stamp and a January 30, 1935 cancellation from Little America, Antarctica, more of which later. The envelope is decorated with a stamp of two penguins; one is carrying a U.S. mail bag and handing a letter to the second. The letter inside, handwritten from Demas to Humes and dated January 23, 1935, includes the notation, "You will be surprised to know how many people consider us crazy for coming on an Antarctic Expedition. However, it take &#91;sic] all kind of people to make an interesting world.... I can't imagine a more suiting souvenir than this letter with the special cachet &#91;sic] and the Little America cancellation." Demas was involved in testing and refining the snow tractor developed by Thomas Poulter, one of which had been used in the winter of 1934 to rescue Byrd, who had been weakened by carbon monoxide poisoning due to a faulty stove at the Advance Camp and was caught 100 miles away in a blizzard. (The expedition is described in Byrd's autobiography Alone.) This incident was commemorated by the 1933 stamp affixed to this letter. The stamp was designed for mail sent to Little America, and initially the post office declined to allow it to be used for domestic mail, although it says "U.S. Postage" on it. An expedition member named Leroy Clark had been assigned to cancel tens of thousands of postal covers sent from the camp, but the cold and Clark's distress at the cold prompted Byrd to send for a postal engineer from Washington. Charles Anderson arrived to find the situation in disarray. Over the next 16 days, he cancelled 35,000 First Cancellation covers that were in bags buried in the snow, as well as 62,000 Second Cancellation covers and the crew's mail. This envelope is part of the Second Cancellation, as all this mail had the same date, January 30, 1935, with six wavy lines and the Penguin rubber stamp and four lines of text. There are four variations, distinguished by the size and location of the copyright mark. (Paul Skowron, south-pole.com). The verso of envelope includes a postmark "Little America Mail Received" dated from San Francisco, March 25, 1935. A second, typed letter to Hume has been preserved; it was written to Humes by Meyer Jacobstein (1880-1963), then publisher of the Rochester Journal-American (1924-37) and a former U.S. Congressman (1923-29) remembered for his staunch opposition to the Immigration Act of 1924 ("Nothing could be more unAmerican"). It is written on the newspaper's stationary with Jacobstein's bold signature and dated April 16, 1935. The publisher writes that he is returning the "precious Byrd Antarctic &#91;sic] stamp" and notes "We ran a brief article about it in our paper, but I don't remember just when. If I lay my hands on it, I will send you a copy." The paper would close two years later.

The page is taken from The Roosevelt Bears, Their Travels and Adventures, the popular children's 1906 book by Seymour Eaton (1859-1916). Born in Ontario, Eaton began his career as a public-school teacher. In 1905 he created the Roosevelt Bears, which originally appeared in a serial that ran in 20 newspapers over 29 weeks during the height of President Teddy Roosevelt's popularity. Initially Eaton feared his reputation would suffer as a serious writer and so used a pen name (Paul Piper) until the series became popular. The stories were collected and expanded into this and later books. The print includes with the publisher name and date at bottom edge. Approx. 8 1/2 x 11 " with border.

		Parry (1790 - 1855) was the English Arctic explorer who held the record for the furthest northern exploration for 5 decades.  Both he and his friend John Franklin received knighthoods for their services to Arctic exploration. In 1829 Parry accepted an offer of the Australian Agricultural Co. to go to New South Wales as commissioner in charge of their enterprises. In this capacity Parry was able to negotiate a land swap with the Government for better lands than the company was first granted. In all he spent four years in Australia  handing over to his successor, Colonel Henry Dumaresq, in March 1834. On returning to England Parry was appointed comptroller of steam machinery at the Admiralty (1837-46) , then captain superintendent of Haslar Hospital, Gosport, (1846- 1853) and from 1853, on attaining flag rank, lieutenant-governor of Greenwich Hospital, the home for naval pensioners. This note from Sir William Edward Parry to Mr. Parker Hamond. One hand written folded sheet, dated 19th Oct. 1850:  "Sir Edward Parry presents his Complts. to Mr. Parker Hamond, and hopes that the acknowledgment of his note of the 16th Inst., just received, will answer the purpose which Mr. Parker Hamond has in view.   Haslar Hospital, Gosport".  With a "J. Hammond & Son, Gosport", blind stamp at upper left.  4 1/2 x 7".

The primary binding with navy buckram with silver title and illustration of "Leaning on the Wind" on the front board. A  bright copy, tight & clean inside. The spine just the slightest dulled, with 2 tiny holes in the spine cloth of vol. 1. A couple of light rubs on the boards o/w very bright. The lst US edition was printed from the same sheets as lst UK edition printed by Heinemann the same year.  Mawson's tale is one of the great stories of survival of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. Exploring with Ninnis & Mertz in 1912, Ninnis was lost down a crevasse. With him went the 6 fittest dogs & the most indispensable supplies. Mertz & Mawson improvised, feeding the dogs worn out mitts & raw-hide straps, but eventually the weakest dogs were killed to feed them all, until all the dogs were gone. The two men reserved the dog's livers as the meat easiest to chew, unaware that liver's toxins were slowly poisoning the men as they consumed it. Mertz became delirious and died. Mawson continued, the soles of his feet separating and his toes and fingers festering. Miraculously he found a depot of food, and arrived eventually at the main depot, to see the ship departing on the horizon. He wintered over with the 6 men who had remained to continue the search. On Dec. 24, 1913 their 2 year journey was finally over. A very good copy of the primary binding of the 1st US edition. Spence 773.

Loose collection of the complete suite of 2 folding colored maps and 24 folding panoramas comprising the 2nd part of Rosove 288-7.A1, the 1st part being a portfolio of photographs; part of Spence 838. Royal Society, London 1908, printed by Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh. The panoramas are exquisitely drawn by Dr. Wilson in the manner of pencil sketches, and some stretch to a length of over 100". As Michael Rosove found from the Scottish Geographical Society review of the portfolio.- "With a few exceptions the plates are excellent in every way, and, more important still, form a complete collection representative of the different aspects of ice and land which came within the experience of the expedition... Dr Wilson's pencil sketches of land panoramas are admirable in their clearness,and should be invaluable in cartographic work and for future expeditions to the Ross Sea". Each plate is very beautiful and one can easily picture them framed. Map A is 19 3/4 x 15 & margins. The panoramas are 5 3/4 in height, and vary in length, some 73", some 100", etc. This is an incredibly scarce item.

Shackleton had previously been a member of Scott's "Discovery" expedition, and had three goals for his expedition- reaching the South Pole, planting the Union Jack at the South Magnetic Pole and exploring the Ross Barrier. Shackleton sought to further scientific knowledge in the fields of meteorology, zoology, mineralogy, geology, tidal movements, hydrography, etc. A detailed account of the expedition and accounts of daily travel. Shackleton was later to achieve fame on his "Endurance" expedition, in which his ship was crushed in ice; he and his men managed to attain Elephant Island, where most of the men stayed while Shackleton and a small group navigated 800 miles in open seas in the tiny "James Caird" to find help at the whaling station of South Georgia. Astoundingly, there was no loss of life.

		Oates, Captain.) Dollman, J.C. Captain Oates walking into the blizzard to die, leaving Scott, Wilson & Bowers behind in the tent. Limited reproduction of the 1913 painting by J.C. Dollman, signed by Dollman, printed by Orman of Nottingham ca. 1913. Oates was part of the team who raced Amundsen to the South Pole. Amundsen beat them to the Pole, and the group, who encountered bad weather, were struggling on the return leg. Oates, who was badly frost-bitten, made the decision to leave Captain Scott, Dr. Wilson & Birdie Bowers, as he felt he was hindering their chances at a successful return. He is bent into the wind, making his way from the camp. His famous quote "I'm going out, and I shall be some time..." is the epitome of heroic English understatement. Colored print, 20 x 11 3/4, mounted onto dark gray rag paper with the blind stamp "Orman Nottingham", 22 x 14 1/2, mounted onto lighter gray card 30 1/2 x 22 1/2. Two 1" margin tears in largest card o/w in very good condition indeed. Lightly written in pencil is a notation "original painting in Charton Club (sp?). A rare item.

		Wilkes, Charles, Admiral. Carte de Visite of Charles Wilkes, Commander of the US Exploring Expedition 1838-1842. Fine cdv of Charles Wilkes by E.A. Anthony of 501 Broadway, NY, from a negative in Brady's National Portrait Gallery. Dates from c. 1860-70. Wilkes is seated wearing a three piece suit & cravat. 2 1/8 x 3 3/8" image on 2 1/2 x 4" cream card, printing on the back. A recorded view of Wilkes, although he is not identified on the card. Very good condition, with minor surface wear, visible only at an angle. A small closed tear in the mount margin at upper left. Wilkes' expeditions most notable achievements were the extensive survey of the Antarctic - some 1600 miles of coast including several landfalls along Wilkes Land (also visiting the South Shetland islands, Macquarie Island & Louis Phillipe Peninsula) and the surveying the North American north west coast. The expeditions six vessels also made numerous discoveries in the Pacific & visited some 280 islands. 'Despite his accomplishments, Wilkes acquired a reputation as an arrogant, cruel, and capricious leader. The impetuosity of his nature, for which he was twice court-martialed, was demonstrated when early in the Civil War, as commander of the San Jacinto, he stopped the British mail ship Trent and, contrary to all regulations, forcibly removed Confederate commissioners John Slidell and James M. Mason. The incident almost involved the Union in a war with England.'

The popular official account of the Australasian expedition was by Mawson, "The Home of the Blizzard".  In Mawson's preface to this volume, he says Davis' book details the voyages of the ship, a gap not covered in his account.  He states the "oceanographic investigations they have carried out ... (are) research which in scientific value is comparable with that accomplished ashore"..."disproving the existence of certain doubtful islands which up to that time had appeared on the charts of the region."

Orig. quarter cloth and printed hardboard covers, volume 1 with the printed decorative blue dust jacket, slt. edgeworn with nick in dj spine, otherwise a fine copy. Highly unusual photographs printed in blue & red, with accompanying 3-D lens viewer. Hitler's polar ambitions are recorded in this work, which relates the story of Ritscher's aerial & photographic survey of part of the Antarctic. To physically lay claim to land, the expedition dropped aluminum darts from the planes, but lacking ground control made it impossible to fix the latitude and longitude accurately, and most of the work was wasted. Dedicated to Hermann Goering, sponsor of the expedition. Not in Spence.

The rare facsimile edition reproducing Scott's own account of his fateful second Antarctic expedition. Unpaginated, ca. 1050 pp, mostly printed single-side. Orig. full blue navy morocco, gilt title, fine condition.
