[CAPE YORK] JARDINE, Frank and Alexander; edited by Frederick BYERLEY
        Narrative of the Overland Expedition of the Messrs. Jardine , from Rockhampton to Cape York, Northern Queensland. Compiled from the Journals of the Brothers
      Brisbane: J.W. Buxton, 1867. Octavo, photographic portrait frontispiece, single lithographic plate and a large folding map at the rear; some foxing and toning, map with closed tear (now expertly repaired), cloth rubbed and a bit worn at extremities; a good copy in original cloth inscribed 'presented by the author January 1870'. Rare narrative of an important inland expedition across far north Queensland and Cape York, with an original mounted sepia frontispiece photograph of the brothers Frank and Alexander Jardine. This is the first edition of the 'official' narrative of the expedition, edited by Frederick Byerley from the journals kept by the Jardine brothers. Their 1864-5 expedition is recognized as one of the most adventurous and successful in the history of inland exploration. The two young brothers brought a large herd of cattle and all their men through to the very tip of Cape York, across land that had been traversed with such tragic results by Edmund Kennedy only fifteen years before. In the process, the brothers entered vast areas of unexplored wilderness and revealed promising stretches of good pasture. The party were in regular conflict with Aborigines, and lost most of their horses after they grazed upon poisonous plants. Surprisingly, Of the original herd of 250 cattle, only some 50 perished. In acknowledgement of their hardship and achievement, the Jardine brothers were admitted as members of the Royal Geographical Society and awarded its prestigious Murchison grant. Frank Jardine remained a pastoralist in north Queensland and later became an active figure in emerging pearling industry. He married Sana Sola, niece of the Samoan king Moliatoa, and died of leprosy in 1919. This rare book records one of the most remarkable personal achievements in Australia's history, the success of which was critical to subsequent settlement in the remote north-east of Australia. This copy includes the lithographic plate of Somerset (Cape York), noted by Wantrup as absent in some copies.

Donna Thomas
        Hetch Hetchy Flora: A Collection of Wildflowers Painted on May 22, 2013
      Santa Cruz, CA:: Peter & Donna Thomas,, 2014. First Edition. Hardcover. New. Donna Thomas. LIMITED EDITION of 35 copies, this is number 5. Accordion Fold Folio. [18] pp. 9 watercolor paintings of wildflowers, 1 watercolor painting of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir from O'Shaughnessy Dam, 1 watercolor map, five ornamental pages of handwritten and rubricated text; text clean, unmarked. Bound between blue morocco leather boards, front and back covers have wooden replicas of a plant press used in the early twentieth century by botanist Willis Jepson, water color front cover label; binding square and tight. Housed in a two-toned cloth covered clamshell box. Fine. This book was inspired by the work of Willis Linn Jepson (1867-1946), California's most distinguished botanist of the early twentieth century. Jepson's life-long interest in botany began in childhood; he graduated from the University of California in 1889, and received a PhD from the same institution in 1899, becoming professor emeritus at UC Berkeley in 1937. When Jepson was 25 years old in 1892, he was a founding member of the Sierra Club. Among his books is A Manual of the Flowering Plants of California (1925). Jepson collected plant specimens in the meadows of the Hetch Hetch Valley. Donna Thomas painted some of these same flowers and more on May 22, 2013 beside Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Donna Thomas's original art work and calligraphed text were reproduced by digital printing processes onto Peter Thomas's handmade paper. These pages were then sewn onto larger sheets of loft dried granite-like paper Peter made for the book. The binding design is based on the structure of Jepson's plant press.

DAVIS, Joseph Barnard
        Thesaurus Craniorum. Catalogue of the skulls of the various races of man, in the collection of Joseph Barnard Davis. With illustrations
      London: Printed for the subscribers, 1867. Octavo, two lithographic plates, illustrated, signed presentation to title-page; a very good copy in the original green cloth, a few bumps and wrinkles. Else fine. Author's presentation copy. Presentation copy of this uncommon work, listing the skulls in the collection of the physician and craniologist Joseph Barnard Davis (1801-1881). The work was presented by the author to Thomas Inman Esq., MD, presumably the man of that name who worked at the Liverpool Royal Infirmary and who published widely on medical research and mythology. In 1820, while he was still a student, Davies went as a surgeon in a whaling ship to the Arctic. Active in public health (he wrote on the cholera epidemics of 1830 for example), for many years Davis devoted himself to craniology and collected a huge museum of skulls and skeletons of various races. This 1867 publication provides a catalogue of his collection which is of great significance, not least because his actual collection was later given to the Royal College of Surgeons and mostly lost as part of the bombing in 1941. Davis was inspired by the pupil of Blumenbach, Sir William Lawrence, and the anatomical lectures of Joshua Brookes in London (several of the original Brookes specimens were purchased by Davis at the sale of Brookes' Museum of Comparative Anatomy when they were offered by James "the Phrenologist" Deville of the Strand, and are described here). By the 1860s Davis had become a firm supporter of the "diversity of origin of the races of man", and this book describes 1540 specimens, with a total of 25,000 separate measurements recorded, wherever possible in line with what he called the lesson of Blumenbach, to "always keep together with these treasures a collection of autograph letters, by which documentary evidence the genuine history of each is preserved". In total, the catalogue lists 24 mainland Australians and 12 Tasmanians (pp. 258-72). Davis' first purchases (nos. 15 & 16) were of two skulls of the "Adelaide Tribe", bought in 1848 of Matthew Moorhouse of South Australia, and which were quickly followed by 13 & 14, two further Adelaide Tribe skulls, all four "curiously prepared as vessels for carrying water" (vi). Other skulls were variously collected by C.P. Layard, W. Tolson, Major Morrison, George Rolfe, A. Watson, James Moorhouse, L.N. Fowler, Professor Reinwardt, Surgeon Goodwin RN, Dr. Grieg, and George A. Robinson, while a further two (nos. 1122 & 1123) were "purchased of the Commissioners for New South Wales Department of the International Exhibition of 1862." Two named men are also recorded, "Malgoey Bob" of NSW, "a well-known character of the colony" (no. 900), and "Carbon Will" of Moreton Bay, the man supposed to have killed Commandant Patrick Logan in 1830 (no. 1021). Even more remarkably, the last section of the catalogue is an overview of 140 (!) skulls of men and women from the Sandwich Islands. The great majority of the skulls were presented by W.L. Green Esq., of Honolulu, and Davis also thanks the late General William Miller as "the person who was the means, directly or indirectly, of bringing together the greatest number of specimens towards the formation of this Collection". In 1875 a supplement to the Thesaurus Craniorum was published by Davis.

FLY VOYAGE] [MELVILLE, Harden.]
        The Adventures of a Griffin on a Voyage of Discovery. Written by Himself
      Bell and Daldy, London 1867 - Octavo, wood-engraved illustrations including frontispiece;original dark brown gilt-decorated cloth a little worn, gilt edges, becoming a little shaken in the binding with one gathering sprung. Scarce and attractive children's book, based on the experiences of Harden S. Melville on the Fly, with frontispiece and 29 other illustrations by Melville (the "Griffin") from his original sketches. Melville sailed with Francis Blackwood on the Fly in 1841 as artist for a voyage commissioned to make a detailed and scientific survey of northeast Australia, concentrating on the Great Barrier Reef. This book gives a lively account of the voyage of the Fly in Australian and Australasian waters, although the boat is here disguised as the Bluebottle. The thirty illustrations by Melville, range from a self-portrait of the young artist learning to draw (replete with portfolio under one arm, initialled "H.S.M"), through to depictions of life on the Australian coast: dancing a corroboree, throwing a boomerang, turning turtle at Bunkers Islands, or riding over Razorback, southwest of Sydney. The titlepage vignette, reproduced in gilt on the front board, shows Melville patiently sketching while being attacked by swarms of insects. Melville had earlier published the more sombre Sketches in Australia in 1849; both works are now difficult to find. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Er besuchte Vorlesungen über Mathematik, Naturwissenschaften und Kunstgeschichte. Erste Gedichte veröffentlichte Stifter unter einem Pseudonym und widmete sich der Malerei. Noch zu Lebzeiten wurde Stifter als Dichter bekannt. Dieser Ruf verdeckt bis heute seine bildungspolitische Bedeutung. Er sah in der allmählichen Hebung des Bildungsstandes des Volkes die einzige Möglichkeit, die sozialen Verhältnisse grundlegend zu ändern. 1850 schlug er die Beamtenlaufbahn ein und wurde Inspektor der oberösterreichischen Volksschulen und 1855 Schulrat. Bereits 1847 bemühte sich Stifter an der Universität Wien öffentliche Vorträge "Über das Schöne" halten zu dürfen, die auch für Frauen zugänglich sein sollten. Deutsch
