		One of the earliest depictions of Western Australia by a European, after Van Keulen's well-known view "Swartte Swaane drift opo het Eyland Rottenest" published in Francois Valentyn's "Oud en nieuw Oost-Indien" in 1724-6.   This copper engraving is after a drawing by Jacobus van der Schley, published somewhat later in 1747 in "Historische beschrijvingen der Reizen" 1747.   The print depicts two sailing ships & two long boats preparing to row up the Swan River, and the island discovered by the skipper de Vlamingh of the Dutch East India Company in 1696, and named Rat's Nest (Rottnest).  With the S shaped river in the distance dotted with black swans.  Copper engraving, 5 1/2 x 8" with large margins.  See Landwehr, 266-7.   Fine condition.

		The scarce hardcover 1909 edition, subtitled "A Guide to Outback Travellers" and "Dedicated to the Prospectors of Western Australia", with the 1980 reprint.  This is a guide on a wide range of survival strategies in the bush, with a strongly racist attitude towards Aboriginals.  Topics covered include camping alone, camels and packs, game, entering the interior, care of horses, mules, antidotes to various bites, "native treachery", tribal customs and "solution of the Native "Question".  The author writes, "My suggestions are intended for the benefit of prospectors and others who have not had a varied experience outside the fences, and are given with a view of trying to prevent further disasters amongst wild blacks, which, since the strictures of Dr. Roth, have become most appalling."  Dr. Walter Edmund Roth, Chief Protector of Aborigines in Queensland, had chaired a 1904 Royal commission which led to the 1905 Act which declared that all Aboriginal persons were wards of the state, and gave the Chief Protector the power to remove children from their families and place them in custodial care.8vo, 68pp, 8 (of 12) plates, LACKS 4 plates, with one image lacking the lower half.  With previous owner name, owner stamp and owner printed labels at ffep.  Inner hinge starting.  Blue gilt cloth covers rubbed, inner hinge starting, quite loose.  The paperback reprint in fine condition,  Mervyn Meggitt's copy; signed by him on the ffep.  Meggitt was an Australian anthropologist noted for his work on Papua New Guinea and aboriginal Australia.

	<![CDATA[ 
		1845 was a very significant year in the history of the state of Texas and of the Union, being the one in which the United States annexed the Republic of Texas and officially admitted it as the 28th state.  This annexation gave President John Tyler the border dispute with Mexico, an eventual war with that nation, and (as a result of the Mexican Cession of 1848), an expansion of the US with a huge amount of new territory stretching all the way to the Pacific.   The letter writer, Freeman, writing from Victor New York to his friend Castle in Parma Centre (sic), Monroe Co. puts it succinctly: "Well you have got your president and Texas.  Can't help it, wish I could, but am willing to trust providence for the future.  Well Castle, when are you going to start for Mexas (sic) and Texico to fite for independence and bread and butter.  I shall not go.  I have had my battle and fought bravely, but got beat.  In the language of Clay though empowered by numbers I have the same unconquerable will and defiant spirit as though the day had not gone against me.  It is for those who fight for the wrong to despair in defeat.  No more of this".  8vo, 3pp.  Folded and mailed with address on verso of letter.  With postal rubber stamp "Victor, N.Y. Oct 13".

		A $10,000 prize was offered in a competition sponsored by The New York World in 1909, as part of the Hudson Fulton Celebration, to the "aerial navigator" who could complete Fulton's first steamboat, the Clermont's 147 mile journey the fastest; and, this time, in the air rather than on the water.  The Hudson Fulton Celebration of 1909 commemorated the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery of the Hudson & the 100th anniversary of Robert Fulton's first commercial steamer the 'Clermont'.  This color postcard features Biedermann's dramatic painting of the event, in which the skies above the military academy are full of "airships", including many dirigibles of unusual shapes and sizes, giving the scene the look of a futuristic alien invasion.  Many ships on the Hudson, including the replica of the 'Half Moon'.  Color postcard with caption at right printed in red. Divided back.  Not used.  Very slightly rubbed at bottom edge.

		Copper engraved caricature in full original hand-color. London 1829. 25 x 34.5 cm. Caricature of Thomas Peel, one of the original land grantees in Western Australia. The cartoon depicts Thomas plucking a swan on the banks of the Swan River with kangaroos on the far shore. Thomas is exclaiming "Cousin Bob's letter did the job I shall feather my nest however." "Cousin Bob" refers to Sir Robert Peel, who helped to establish the Swan River Colony, now the site of Perth, Western Australia. To the left of Thomas is a sign post "The best parts of the Swan River Settlement only to be got at through the hands of Mr. Thos P--l!!". The original color is vibrant, the paper pristine, with just the faintest of offsetting visible in the upper and lower margin of a facing plate in the album in which it was once mounted. This has never seen the light of day. The provenance of the print is unique. It is from the collection of Louis-Philippe, Duc d'Orleans, late King of France. The king was an avid collector of caricatures in his day, despite his tempestuous relationship with the satirists of France. Louis-Philippe's full collection came up at auction in Paris December 2003.

A satirical look at Peel's involvement with the establishment of the colony of Western Australia at Swan River, in "Florishing (sic) State of the Swan River Thing". Clearly not flourishing, 4 adults and 2 children look destitute with a beached ship behind and a stream labeled "water unfit for use". To the right is a hovel named "The Swan Tavern".

Lippincott, Philadelphia: Trubner, London, 1864. 8vo, 413 pp, 2pp ads. One library location mark penned on title, otherwise no marks, a very clean copy. Nicely rebound in blue cloth w/ black & gilt title label, vgc. Previous owners bookplate. Not in Spence or Ferguson, Hill or Hocken. See Bagnall 6038; Forster 101; Howes W.373; Jenkins p. 160 for 1860 edition. Whitecar, an intelligent observer, sailed from New Bedford aboard the Pacific, on a whaling voyage which took him to Antarctic waters, Australia & New Zealand. His narrative gives good details of the whaler's life on ship and ashore from 1855-59, one of the best for the time, including observations & comparisons of whaling equipment and practices. Whitecar includes much on the West Australian coast, visiting the Vasse & Cape Leeuwin a number of times. He spends time in Albany (King Georges Sound), visits Geraldton (Champion Bay), Esperence (the Recherche Archipelago) and the Houtmans Abrolhas. In observing W.A., he comments "I didn't see a glass of spirits drank... ale and beer were however swallowed without regard to quality or quantity." The majority of the book relates to West Australian waters & anecdotes. A very readable & informative accounts, one of the best we've read on West Australia.

Printed by Hullmandel and Walton.  Occasional minor spotting.  Uniformly bound in green period full green morocco, sides with gilt borders, spines gilt in 6 compartments, gilt edge by Clyde.  A FINE COPY OF GOULD'S MOST IMPORTANT WORK, which was issued in 41 parts over 30 years and occupied more than half of his career.  Gould started work on the Birds of Australia in 1837, but ceased this effort when he found he did not have enough material to work from in England.  He and his family departed for Australia &#91;where his wife had two brothers] and remained there for 18 months collecting new specimens in New South Wales and Tasmania.  John Gilbert was sent to collect specimens from Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia.  As Gould had introductions to the explorers working at the time, he also received contributions of specimens from Sturt and Grey.  As a result of this intensive effort, 300 new species were claimed by Gould.  Nissen IVB 370; Anker 174 and 179; Fine Bird Books p. 78; Wood p. 365; Zimmer pp 255-6 and 259; Sauer 9 and 18; Ferguson 4773 & 10032a.  AUSTRALIAN EXPLORERS' CONTRIBUTION TO GOULD'S BIRDS OF AUSTRALIAIn May 1838, Gould, his wife Elizabeth, John Gilbert &#91;their zoological collector], one of their sons, a nephew, & two servants sailed for Australia.  On their 27 month stay in the Colonies they received assistance from all sides ~ the Colonial Governors and most importantly, the early explorers of Australia's interior.In Tasmania, the Goulds were looked after by the Governor, Sir John Franklin (of later Arctic fame) and Lady Franklin, who were greatly interested in the flora and fauna of the country.  Gould along with Gilbert explored much of Tasmania and the Bass Strait islands.  In February 1839, John Gilbert departed for an eleven month stay in the Swan River Colony.  Gilbert made further explorations to the Northern Territory with Ludwig Leichardt, but during Leichardt's overland expedition in 1845 from Brisbane to Port Essington was tragically killed by aborigines.  &#91;Book - Journal of an Overland Expedition in Australia... 1847].In June of 1839, Gould began a journey with Captain Charles Sturt from Adelaide to "the Murray Scrubs" &#91;the Mallee], returning to Adelaide in July, from where he visited Kangaroo Island, before returning to Hobart.  &#91;Books- Two Expeditions into the Interior of Southern Australia... 1833 & Narrative of an Expedition into Central Australia... 1849].Contributions of specimens & information came from all quarters.  George French Angas contributed eggs and information about the Yellow- eared Black Cockatoo. &#91;Book- South Australia Illustrated, one of the great Australian topographical view books.]  In the course of his hydrographical voyage on the H.M.S. Rattlesnake, John MacGillivray contributed information about the Great Palm Cockatoo. &#91;Book- Narrative of the Voyage of H.M.S. Rattlesnake, commanded by the late Captain Owen Stanley... 1852, Cape York area.]  T.L. Mitchell, surveyor general of New South Wales supplied descriptions of the Leadbeater's Cockatoo (commonly known as the "Major Mitchell"). &#91;Books- Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia...1838 & Journal of an Expedition into the Interior of Tropical Australia...1848]. The last voyage of the "Beagle" was in Australian waters from 1837 to 1843.  In 1841, Capt. Wickham, suffering ill-health, was relieved of his command by Lieut. John Lort Stokes  &#91;Book - Discoveries in Australia; with an account of the Coasts and Rivers explored and surveyed during the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, In the Years 1837- 1843... 1846].  The task of the expedition was to survey those parts of the northern coast of Australia not already charted by Flinders or King.  Accompanying them on this trip was the young lieutenant George Grey, whose duty it was to explore the land in Australia's northwest with a view to establishing a permanent settlement there.  &#91;Book - Journals of Two Expeditions of Discovery in North-West and Western Australia... 1841]  The scientific appendices in volume two of Grey's "Journals" include one on birds by John Gould ~ " Mr. Gould kindly forwarded the following enumeration of the species which have come under his notice as inhabiting that part of the country (Western Australia)." There follows a 7 pp listing of birds of W.A.  "Officers of the Beagle" are credited by Gould's "Handbook to the Birds of Australia" as supplying information on the Rose-breasted Cockatoo.  To conclude, the history of Australia's inland exploration is inextricably bound up with Gould's masterwork The Birds of Australia.  It was an extremely fertile and productive time in Australia ~ Sturt, Mitchell & Angas in eastern & southern Australia;  Leichardt, MacGillivray, Stokes & Grey in the north & west.  Reading the letter-press that accompanies each colour plate of Gould's Birds bears witness to the combined efforts of Gould and the explorers and settlers of Australia ~ Gould constantly refers to specimens and information on the birds' customs and habitat sent to him by various explorers.  Many times, this spirit of co-operation overflows into the naming of the bird itself.  Gould was the touchstone who pulled together the contributions of Australia's explorers into the foundation work on Australia's ornithology.  This, combined with Gould's work with Darwin interpreting the specimens from the famous "Beagle" voyages, takes Gould's Birds of Australia out of a strictly natural history realm and places it firmly alongside the great scientific discovery expeditions of the 19th century.GOULD'S CONTRIBUTION TO DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTIONBefore the Goulds' plans for the work on the Birds of Australia came to fruition, John Gould became involved in a co-operative project with another scholar - Charles Darwin.  In October 1836, Darwin returned to England from his 5 year circumnavigation on the H.M.S. Beagle &#91;on which John Lort Stokes served for 18 years- rising from midshipman in 1825 to commander in 1841].  Darwin needed expert help in the description & identification of the preserved birds, insects, rocks, shells & insects for his production of the Zoology of the Voyages of H.M.S. Beagle.  Darwin had heard of Gould's books from Thomas Campbell Eyton, a naturalist friend from Cambridge days who had bought Gould's Toucan prints.  The were expensive, he wrote, but of good value as he had since been offered a higher price!  Through the Zoological Society, &#91;where Gould had established his reputation as a premier taxidermist] Darwin initially made contact with Gould about a special Rhea, seen during his travels in Northern Patagonia.  This Rhea was an ostrich of dark, mottled colour, with shorter legs than the Common Rhea.  Conrad Martens, the artist on the Beagle expedition, shot one for food and it was cooked and eaten before Darwin realized that it was a less-known species.  Fortunately, the head, neck, feathers & skin had been preserved, and were sent to the Zoological Society, where it was put together, and a nearly perfect specimen made for display.  Gould classified the Rhea as a new species "Rhea Darwinii".  The third volume of the "Zoology of the Voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle" contained fifty bird plates which was advertised by Darwin as "taken from sketches made by Mr. Gould himself, and executed on stone by Mrs. Gould".  When Gould & Darwin were examining the birds brought from the Galapagos Islands, they were fascinated by a group of about thirteen finches of the same species, which  had curiously different-sized beaks.  These modifications occurred on different islands, and it was the investigation of this, and other scientific data accumulated over a long period, that led to Darwin's theories of evolution by adaptation formulated many years later.  Frank Sulloway (Harvard University 1982) has investigated Gould's part in Darwin's theory of evolution, and shows that Gould astutely realised the basic peculiarities of these birds, thus paving the way for Darwin's first notes on the "Transmutation of Species".  Gould presented descriptions of the Galapagos finches and mockingbird specimens at the Zoological Society in January 1837.  However, he was unable to finish his work for Darwin. Due to the rush before the Goulds' departure to Australia, parts of his manuscript were left unresolved, and the work was completed by George Robert Gray of the British Museum.As Gould only published 250 sets of "The Birds of Australia", the number of complete copies which could possibly come on the market is significantly diminished by many factors ~ the work was issued in parts, and not all copies were bound, which would contribute to their demise over time.  Many of the sets that survive are in institutional hands and unlikely to come onto the market.  Over the last 20 years, at least 10 copies have been "broken up" and sold as plates.  This loss of a number of complete sets will certainly lead to a complete and undisturbed Gould attracting a premium, by virtue of its increasing scarcity.   Bibliography: Lambourne, Maureen, Wm.

		Beautifully produced work, the text by the renowned Paris jeweler Leonard Rosenthal.   He initially published it as a modest pamphlet in 1919, and commisioned Edmund Dulac to paint 10 illustrations for this lavish limited edition of 1,500 copies, this copy out of series.   Rosenthal speaks of the Australian pearl industry , centered in Broome, West Australia.  He states the pearl fishers of Australia sell the nacre very expensively and the pearls represent only a supplementary benefit.   Rosenthal was arguably the most important pearl dealer of all time.  He was instrumental in getting the Tahitian Pearl recognized by the Gemological Institute of America and at the height of his fame, controlled most of the industry.   This edition was published in Paris in October 1920, the same year as the London edition.  Bound in 1/2 crimson morocco, marbled boards, raised bands, gilt ornaments in panels, t.e.g. Original wrappers bound-in.  Illustrated with 10 tipped-in color plates by Edmund Dulac - each with a captioned tissue guard. Bookplate of former owner on front paste-down, otherwise a fine copy in a lovely binding.

		The large tinted chromolithograph with hand color shows a wide variety of exhibits from the British colonies, including South Australia, Western Australia, Van Dieman's Land, New Zealand, Bahamas & Trinidad.  The British public, dressed with great care, stroll around red cloth draped tables exhibiting the colonies goods, including sugar cane, coffee, etc.  At the left hand side is a framed wall hung advertisement for "Kaplunda Copper Mines, Adelaide, South Australia, Specimens & Ores" (sic).  In the background is a red banner for New Zealand, with a suspended Maori canoe.  To the right, a large tiered table displays what looks to be ore samples from South Australia.  Western Australia is in the far corner, and their exhibit appears to include a sail boat.  Mounted on the wall under the Van Dieman's Land banner are many animal skins, along with baskets.  Over the entire scene stretches the elaborate fret work of the innumerable glass panels for which the Crystal Palace was renowned.  14 1/2 x 19 1/4" on paper 19 1/2 x 13 1/4 , with the initials T.

		A seven panel folding chromolithograph frontispiece from Edward C. Boynton's History of West Point, titled " A View of West Point on Hudson's River by Major L'Enfant Engineer, 1780".  The view is taken from Garrison, NY, on the east side of the Hudson, and looking north.  Fortifications can be seen dotting the landscape, as well as a fortress atop current day Constitution Island and red coated soldiers in the foreground. After his service in the Mexican War, Boynton taught at West Point. "His long residence at West Point, with its revolutionary associations, turned his interest to historical matters, and led to the publication of (this work), a large part of which is devoted to a minute study of the topography of the neighborhood, from a military viewpoint, to the system of defenses erected during the Revolution, and to the administration of the fortress during that period." Howes B672.  Title at center is facsimile of General Knox's inscription on the original drawing; "from copy made by Lieut. R. S. Smith, VIIth Inf" at the right side.  Faint damp staining at verso, some toning at folds, fox spotting at lower edge, otherwise good.  Unfolded, 31 1/2 x 9".

		A striking color lithograph of Indian Brook in Garrison, NY with the rushing waterfall plunging into a quiet pool where two deer browse in the foreground.  From Jacques Milbert's superlative collection of views entitled "Itineraire Pittoresque du Fleuve Hudson et des Parties Laterales de l'Amerique du Nord...".  Milbert, who trained as an engineer, came to the United States in 1815 and stayed for 7 years.  As drawing was a compulsory part of any engineers training, he was to show his talent in the quality of the 53 views he made of places he visited.  They form one of the most accurate portrayals of the Northeast in the period.  They are also an early example of the use of lithography for topographical prints.  'As an artist, Milbert loved to paint American landscapes, particularly those which showed the Hudson, "King of Rivers," flowing majestically through the mountains .... The pictures of what he saw, as of the time he drew them, constitute a unique and valuable record.' (Sherman, 'A French Explorer in the Hudson Valley'). Titles in French, English, Latin and German; N°9. Pl. 1.  Lithograph with later hand color, very faint fox spotting at margins, otherwise very good condition.  8 1/4 x 13", matted and framed archivally, in brown gilt highlighted wood frame, measuring 16 x 20 1/2".

	<![CDATA[ 
		Magnificent long range chromolithograph view of the Hudson River and West Point Military Academy, focusing on Delafield Library (a turreted castle) and the main barracks; a somewhat fanciful view taken from the vicinity of Fort Putnam.  Delafield Library was designed by Major Richard Delafield and built in 1841.  The Major was a distinguished graduate and later a superintendent of the Military Academy; after the fire of 1838, he designed the new buildings and the new cadet uniform that displayed a turreted castle insignia.  A turreted castle is the symbol of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; its origin as the Corps' symbol remains unclear as the original records were destroyed in the fire of 1838.  The Delafield Library is at the center of the view, with the Hudson River in the distance.   People stroll up the path to the Library while two large steamboats, the "St. John" and the "Drew" steam along the river, and a train on an elevated track travels north toward the village of Cold Spring.  This is a chromolithograph on canvas with a few small areas of age cracking with contemporary repairs on the verso.  30 x 21 1/2" in a gilt wood frame, 34 x 26".

		Stokes, Olivia Egleston Phelps. Letters and Memories of Susan and Anna Bartlett Warner. G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York 1925. x + 229pp. Frontispiece + ills in text. Blue cloth w/ gilt title, dj slt. nicked top and bottom, fine in fine dj. Susan & Anna Warner came to writing through the financial ruin of their family & subsequent death of their father. The loss of their NY City home caused them to take up residence at their country estate, Constitution Island, off Cold Spring, and facing West Point, on the Hudson River. Susan's 1st book "The Wide, Wide World" became a bestseller. Her subsequent books, which had a wide following throughout the Victorian era, had mostly biblical themes. Her sister Anna gained fame as the author of the famed hymn "Jesus Loves Me". Their home on Constitution Island provided a Sunday School for cadets at West Point. The house & gardens are still maintained through the Constitution Island Association, and can be visited during spring, summer & fall. The gardens are lovely, and maintained in a style consistent with the Revolutionary War importance & the Warner's history there, including Lamb's Ears, which were used as bandages in Revolutionary War days. Anna's book "Gardening by Myself" (1872) was apparently the 1st gardening book to suggest that American women do the actual gardening themselves. A very nice copy.
