Mawson, Sir Douglas. The Home of the Blizzard.
Mawson, Sir Douglas. The Home of the Blizzard. Being the Story of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-1914. Lippincott, Phila. l9l5, 1st US edition. 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. 2 vols, 349 pp & 338 pp, 224 ills., 37 ills. in text, and 3 folding maps. Orig. navy buckram with silver title, secondary binding. Spine extremes & corners very lightly rubbed. Inner hinge vol 2 is cracked but strong, slt bump to top foredge corner of vol. 1. Otherwise a very good copy with the errata slip, competitively priced. The lst US edition was printed from the same sheets as lst UK edition printed by Heinemann the same year. Spence 773.

Returning eastward they visited the South Orkney and South Shetland Islands, and discovered Joinville Island and Louis Philippe Land...In 1840, from Tasmania, they returned to the Antarctic region where Adelie Land was discovered.'" (Hill). Black & white lithographs, some with sepia tones. Image size approx. 12" x 17" on heavy rag paper 21" x 13 1/4". Most have the official blind-stamp of the voyage in the lower margin. The artist on the voyage was L. LeBreton. The prints are quite stunning records of the ships and life on board, catching seals, making water, usually watched with interest by a group of penguins. There is a strong feeling of the sheer expanse of the Antarctic, there among the ice flows. Ferguson 3184; Spence 399; Hill p.89.

Coronelli, Vincenzo. [Antarctic Map]. Polo Australe O Meridionale & Antarctico.
The map for the South Pole for the 45" terrestrial globe from Coronelli's "Libro Dei Globi", published in Venice 1697. 14" diameter, copper engraving, central fold strengthened. Prior to all sightings, the map shows no suggestion of the Antarctic continent. Going against common practice of the day, Coronelli was fastidious in only plotting that which had been discovered. Extremely attractive cartouche of two men discussing a globe with a lion & serpent. Extensive annotations on the perimeter in Italian. The cartouche connects with the West coast section of the Australian Coronelli gore. Not in Spence.
