Dumont D'Urville, J. Antarctic View from "Voyage au Pole Sud et dans l'Oceanie sur les Corvettes l'Astrolabe et la Zelee..." Paris 1841-46, lithographs from the folio atlas volume of the "historique" section [atlas pittoresque] or the famous French scientific voyage whose " 'aims were to explore the south polar regions and various island groups in the Pacific.' This view: Prise de Possession de la Terre Adelie le 21 Janvier 1840. (Parages Antarctiques). Plt. 171. Two long boats along side a rocky shore where the French flag is being planted. Men uncorking a bottle, sketching, chasing penguins. Groups of bemused penguins looking on from ice flows. Very nice condition. 'The expedition reached the ice pack in Jan. 1838, but failed to penetrate it or get south of the 64th parallel. 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.

Print]. Edwards, G. Der Penguin.
[Print]. Edwards, G. Der Penguin. A print of a penguin from Johann Seligmann's "Sammlung Verschiedener Auslandischer..." published in Nurenberg 1770. Engraved and etched plate with original hand color. Seligmann drew from George Edwards "Natural History of Uncommon Birds" for some of his plates, adding detail (background & botanical) and re- engraving them in a larger format. The penguin stands on a small island with yellow & pink coral on either side. The latin name "phaeton demersus" is written beneath in an early copperplate handwriting. Delightfully naive example of 18th c. natural history prints.

Merriman, C.C. Lectures, Essays and Published Articles On Scientific and Literary Sub.
Merriman, C.C. Lectures, Essays and Published Articles On Scientific and Literary Subjects and on Foreign Travel. Rochester, NY 1885, 1st edition. 8vo, xx + 345pp. Fascinating work illustrated by the "Gelatine (sic) Process of Picture Making". The process itself is described at length. The author's wide-ranging interests include microscopy, polar glaciers, evolution, anthropology, & visits to New Zealand and Mexico. The 2nd chapter covers polar glaciers. The author theorizes about the impact of the melting of the Antarctic ice, estimating that Antarctica must have thickness of 2 1/2 miles of solid ice. He cites James Ross's discourse in 1841. A fascination with New Zealand results in 13 of the 20 plates to be scenes of New Zealand, Maoris, etc. 5 plates are microscopic examinations of specimens.

" This log contains many important passages which do not appear in either of Bligh's previously published books, as well as information patiently collected on the social life of the Tahitians. Much of the technical detail is of great interest to those who care for ships and the sea. After visiting Tahiti and the Tonga Islands, the crew mutinied under the leadership of Fletcher Christian, the master's mate. The mutiny was largely due to Bligh's harshness to his crew, and also partly to attachments that has sprung up between the crew and certain women of Tahiti, where the Bounty afterwards returned, before sailing to Pitcairn Island."
