Loose leaf. Zustand: Very good condition. Original photographs. Film stills and production photographs (app. 9 x 7") of the 1933 German-US drama film directed by Arnold Fanck. Filmed on location in Uummannaq, Northwest Greenland, Island and the the Bernina Alps, on the border of Switzerland and Italy, it tells the story of an Arctic expedition in search of a party that went missing in the previous year. The film script was written by Tom Reed based on a story by Arnold Fanck and Friedrich Wolf (Wolf's credits were removed after the takeover by the Nazis due to the fact that he was Jewish and a member of the Communist Party). Starring Gustav Diessl, Leni Riefenstahl, Sepp Rist, Gibson Gowland, Rod la Roque, and Ernst Udet, the film was shot simultaneously in German and English and released in Nazi Germany and the United States. The lead role in German played by Diessl, in English by Tod la Roque. Leni Riefenstahl costarred with Diessl and Udet in the German, with la Roque and Gowland in the English version. The collection features photographs taken before departure of the expedition, on various locations and group photographs including one with Paul Kohner and actors Gibson Gowland, Sepp Rist and Rod La Roque, Gowland and Sepp Rist, another with the movie cast including Leni Riefenstahl, and others featuring Arnold Fanck, respectively members of the cast and crew. Each original photograph measures appr. 9 1/4 x 6 3/4" All but four photographs are stamped on verso "Aus dem Weltfilm der Universal Der Paul Kohner Produktion S.O.S. Eisberg. Dieses Foto dart nur veröffentlicht werden mit dem Vermerk: Universal-Fanck-Grönland-Expedition Foto: Vogel-Sandau" and numbered in pencil. Two photographs are stamped and credited to Gisela Lindeck, Berlin-Halensee, on versos, one stamped "Aus dem Welfilm." but unnumbered, and one w/o stamp and inked number 14. [WITH] S.O.S. Eisberg. Mit Dr. Fanck und Ernst Udet in Grönland. Die Grönland-Expedition des Universal-Films S.O.S. Eisberg by Arnold Fanck. München. F. Bruckmann AG. 1933. First edition. Quarto. 68pp (text), 64pp (plates). Original photographic stiff boards, with white and green lettering on front cover. "S.O.S. Eisberg" documents the 1933 expedition in Northwest-Greenland, for the filming of the German-US drama film of the same name directed by Arnold Fanck and starring Gustav Diessl, Leni Riefenstahl, Sepp Rist, Gibson Gowland, Rod La Roque, and Ernst Udet, the second-highest scoring German flying ace of WWI. In the same year that she directed "Sieg des Glaubens" (English: Victory of Faith) (1933), her first of several famous cinematic projects for the Nazi Party, German actress and filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl played a supporting role in this epic adventure, co-written and co-directed by her frequent "mountain film" collaborator Dr. Arnold Fanck. Rod La Rocque stars as Dr. Carl Lawrence, leader of a mission to Greenland to recover the lost records of the ill-fated, real-life Alfred Lothar Wegener polar expedition of 1929-30. Lawrence's party includes experienced explorer/guides, as well as an adventure-seeking financier, who is in over his head and slowly driven mad by the perils of the voyage. When Lawrence's band is trapped on an iceberg, Lawrence's wife Ellen (Leni Riefenstahl) - a famous female pilot fashioned after Amelia Earhart - takes off on a rescue mission, but she crashes her aircraft upon landing and is stranded along with the others. Before total disaster claims the Lawrence party, however, native eskimos and Major Ernst Udet (playing himself) arrive via kayak to save the day. Two surviving members of the Wegener party served as advisors for this well-received Man vs. Nature treatise, filmed on location in Greenland, Iceland, and in the Bernina Alps, on the border between Italy and Switzerland. It was filmed simultaneously in German and English, and released by Universal Studios in both Germany and the United States. The film premiered on August 30, 1933 in Berlin. Among its stars were Leni Riefenstahl, who had just made her directorial debut in "Das blaue Licht" (The Blue Light) (1932), and would go on to direct "Triumph des Willens" (Triumph of the Will) (1934), "Olympia" (1938), and "Tiefland" (1954). Riefenstahl co-starred with Gustav Diessl and Ernst Udet in the German version "S.O.S. Eisberg," and with Gibson Gowland and Rod La Rocque in the English version "S.O.S. Iceberg." This volume is profusely illustrated with captioned photogravures depicting striking landscapes, movie scenes, as well as snapshots of what went on behind the scenes. Interestingly, the film was financed by Hollywood film pioneer and founder of Universal Studios, Carl Laemmle. Minor age wear, scuffing and creasing on binding.

Kjøbenhavn, Bianco Luno, 1888 & 1889. 8vo. 2 volumes, uniformly bound in a bit later half calf with gilt lettering to spines. In "Meddelelser om Grønland", vol. 9-10. Light sunning to spine and a few scratches to boards, otherwise a fine and clean set. (14), 420 pp. + 17 folded plates" (8), 400, (10) pp. + 41 plates, each with an accompanying leaf of text and 1 folded map. First appearance of the scientific report from the famous Danish ?Konebaads?-Expedition of 1883-1885 which explored the east coast of Greenland from Nanortalik to Angmagssalik, using 'women's boats' or umiaks, under the command of Gustav Holm, who made extensive collections of ethnographic objects of which many are depicted in colour-plates here ? the collection he brought home now form the core collection of the East-Greenlandic department in the Danish National Museum. It is considered of the most important achievements in the exploration of Greenland. The results of the expedition were numerous both from a geographical and an ethnological point of view, not to speak of the negative, yet highly important, result that no Norse ruins had been found, thus definitely establishing the position of the Eastern Settlement on the west coast. The reports were published in Danish with French summaries in Vol. IX and X of the Meddelelser om Grønland (offered here) as well as an official account and a scientific report of the geographical conditions of the coast traversed by the expedition (Beretning om Konebaads-Expeditionen til Grønlands Østkyst 1883-85 and Om de geografiske Forhold i Dansk Øst-Grønland )" with Johan Petersen he published a collection of myths and legends from Angmagssalik ( Sagn og Fortaellinger fra Angmagsalik ). His most important contribution was, however, the Ethnologisk Skizze af Angmagsalikerne , i.e., "Ethnological Sketch of the Angmagssalik Eskimo." The last two works were later translated into English and published in Meddelelser om Grønland , Vol. XXXIX. The Ethnolgical Sketch gives an accurate and full description of the life and culture of the Angmagssalik natives. Holm's work are the first modern and fully scientific accounts of any Eskimo group and thus epoch-making in Eskimo research. Holm's painstaking observationsmake his work one of the classics of ethnology.
Kiøbenhavn, J. D. Qvist, 1832. 4to (255 x 213 mm). Nice contemporary half calf over marbled boards with gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine. With offsetting to verso of plates and vague, barely visible dampstain to upper outer corner on pp. 193-210. An exceptionally fine and clean copy. XVII, (1), 216 pp. + 8 coloured plates (all with preserved tissueguards) and 1 large folded map. First edition of the account of the Royal Danish expedition to the East coast of Greenland in 1828, printed from its Commander's diary containing fine hand-colored plates depicting Eskimo umiaks and kayaks, their implements and summer dwellings and ruins of Norse settlements. In 1828, a Danish expedition was sent from Copenhagen under the command of the naval officer and explorer Wilhelm August Graah (1793-1863). Its goal was to locate lost Norse settlements on the coast of Greenland, which had existed in certain places from around the turn of the millennium until their collapse some centuries later. ?The Danes did not find any settlement where they searched on the eastern coast, and the men endured harrowing conditions and near starvation during three winters. Graah's work opens with a brief history of the exploration and colonization of Greenland before recounting his own expedition. Observations on the Greenlandic Inuit are incorporated as well.? (Macdougall, Narrative of an Expedition to the East Coast of Greenland, 2014) Graah named the southeastern coast of Greenland the King Frederick VI Coast and mapped about 550 km of formerly uncharted territory. Although he had been asked to reach 69°, Graah fell short of his goal of going further north owing to innumerable hardships. He made numerous contacts with the now extinct Southeast-Greenland Inuit, describing in detail some of their customs and way of life. Arctic Bibliography 6032 Sabin 28178.

London, Printed for J. Payne and J Bouquet 1752. 8vo. (4, one advert leaf), vi, 84, 95, (1) p. Two folding engraved maps & 1folding engraved plate. Half panelled calf gilt, elaborately gilt spine, fine copy. Joseph Robson was surveyor and supervisor of the buildings of the Hudson's Bay Company."Robson's book was of prime importance, since it was the earliest to reflect first-hand knowledge of service with the Hudson?s Bay Company, and was written by someone who had spent six years in Hudson Bay. Displaying maps, tables of winds and tides, and statistics of the costs incurred in building Prince of Wales Fort, it had an authentic ring, "honest and just" as one reviewer described it. Its criticisms of the Hudson?s Bay Company were consequently the more telling, with stories of oppressive behaviour by the company factors, their refusal to explore the interior, and their incompetence in building work. . Recent investigations have shown that Arthur Dobbs, not Robson, wrote the long and polemic appendix, and that he also revised Robson's text. Dobbs, who wanted Robson to be more involved with the search for the North-West Passage must have been disappointed with Robson?s findings. After a lengthy exploration, Robson like Middleton could find no route through and turned his attention to improving conditions and critising the Hudson Bay Company. Appendix I, p. 1-67 is based on the unpublished journal of Groseillers' expedition to the Bay in 1668-69 by his ship Captain Zachariah Gillam.and on Company papers." The maps depict the Nelson and Hayes Rivers, the Plans of York and Prince of Wales Forts, and the Churchill River.

Original green cloth volumes, boards with with decoration in gilt, spine lettered and ruled in gilt. Minor wear. In all a good set in the original bindings. With the bookplate of the Officers Library. Royal Marines Chatham. Some very minor soiling to cloth boards. Overall clean, and very good. Halls intention was to reach King William Island in search of Franklin relics not discovered by McClintock. However, at Cyrus Field Bay a storm wrecked his boat the George Henry (named after his main sponsor George Henry Grinnell). During the wintering, he befriended local Inuit Ebierbing and Tookoolito (Joe and Hannah) who accompanied him on the rest of the expedition, and who became famous when they returned to the United States with Hall. Exploring around Frobisher Bay, Hall discovered and collected some relics of the Frobisher expeditions. Hall had to winter for a second time when the George Henry was beset in ice. Hall thrived in the Arctic by being one of the few explorers to follow the time-tested adaptations of the Indigenous population.

Original lemon-yellow pictorial cloth, very light bump in the top edge of the front board also visible though diminished, in the first half of the text, a very nice copy. *ALFRED LOTHAR WEGENER (November 1, 1880 November 1930) German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist.He is widely credited today with setting the foundation for the concept of plate tectonics with his early work on continental drift. This was first demonstrated to the public in Petermanns Geographischen Mitteilungen, 1912, with the first book-form edition in 1915. It was largely ignored and noticed mainly in critical opposition - in England, however, his theory found support from Arthur Holmes, and in South Africa from Alexander du Toit. New evidence in the 1950s, largely from the palaeomagnetic studies of Runcorn and Blackett, demonstrated the validity and indeed, revolutionary, nature of his thesis. This work has overshadowed the equally fundamental research undertaken on his four scientific expeditions to Greenland. In 1905 Wegener was working in the Aeronautischen Observatorium Lindenberg with his brother Kurt. Both had an interest in meteorology and polar research, were the first to use weather balloons to track air masses and on a balloon ascent launched to carry out meteorological investigations and to test a celestial navigation method, they set a new record for a continuous balloon flight, 52.5 hours from April 5 7, 1906. Later in that year, Alfred was a member of the Danish-led expedition to explore the last unknown area of northern Greenland. He established the first meteorological station in Greenland, and was the first to investigate air flow in the Arctic climate zone with kites and tethered balloons. He returned to Germany in 1908, to teach at the University of Marburg. His second Greenland venture, also Danish-led by Johan Peter Koch, took place in 1913. Wegener and Koch overwintered on the ice in NE Greenland, the first to do so, and also the first to take ice-cores. During that summer, the expedition crossed the inland ice towards the west coast, nearly succumbing to starvation a few kilometres from the end of their journey. They were rescued by chance by a travelling local clergyman. Wegener, having survived this hazardous trip, returned to Germany, married and resumed his teaching post at Marburg. And despite a period as an infantry office at the front in WWI, he survived that as well, completing the book version, in 1915, of the now classic work on continental drift. He also published some 20 papers on meteorology and geophysics, and investigated the Treysa meteorite. After the war, Wegener took the post as a meteorologist at the German Naval Observatory and moved to Hamburg. He then taught at the University in Hamburg, until, in 1924, he moved to Graz and another university post. His third Greenland exploration took place in 1929 and is described in detail in the above title offered. It was the first expedition to use innovative, propeller-driven snowmobiles and laid the basis for his fourth, and last, expedition in the following year, 1931. This expedition had a complement of 14, led by Wegener himself and included his brother Kurt - they set themselves the task of establishing three permanent science stations to measure the thickness of the ice and to make year-round weather observations. Wegener died during a trip to replenish one of these stations, his body not being discovered until the following year, half-way to the station, where he had been buried by his Greenlander companion. This companion tried to return to base but died en route and is now reckoned to lie beneath 100 metres of snow and ice, together with the diary of the trip that Wegener always kept. Wegener's third expedition, described in the book offered above, was the only one of the four that he undertook, in which there was no tragedy. On his first, the leader and two crew members were killed; on the second, the expedition was almost wiped out by a calving glacier, and the leader broke his leg falling into a crevasse - and on the fourth, he and Villumsen died. Wegener was meticulous about keeping diaries, and this, third, voyage was the only one fully annotated during his life-time. He was the first to formulate the theory of moving continents, the first to investigate polar air movements and to elaborate the jet-stream theory of air masses, the first to take ice-core samples, the first to use motor-driven sleds. One of expedition scientists, Fritz Loewe, also went on the final, fourth, trip and together with Wegener's widow, Else, wrote an account of it - it was published in 1933, translated into English in 1939. Wegener's own account of the third expedition has not been translated; produced in the socio-political turmoil of 1930, is extremely scarce today.

London, Whitridge 1748. Contemporary Calf Gilt, pp. xxviii, 336 pp. plus folding map and nine plates of which 5 are folding, a very nice copy. One of the most important works concerning the search for the North West Passage. "The first part contains a synopsis of twenty- three English voyages to discover the Northwest Passage, a history of the rise of the Hudson's Bay Company, and the discovery attempted from New England. The second part gives an account of a voyage under Captains Moor and Francis Smith, financed by private subscription, with Arthur Dobbs the leading subscriber. Ellis, also a subscriber, was hydrographer, surveyor, and mineralogist on the expedition, which proved, finally, the nonexistence of a Northwest Passage from Hudson Bay. The voyage led to a rapid decline of British interest in the search for a Northwest Passage, which was not revived until 1816. The work includes many valuable observations on tides, on the vagaries of the compass, and on the customs of the Eskimos, people then practically unknown" - Hill. The attractive plates depict Eskimos canoeing and hunting seals; birds, fish, mammals, and animals of the area, including the horned owl, pelican, wolverine, porcupine, white bear, sea horse, whale, and sea unicorn; and views of Douglas Harbor, Wager Bay, Cape Walsingham, and the Island of Resolution, among others.

AND: U?bersichtskarte der Ostku?ste Gro?nland nach den Ergebnissen der zweiten deutschen Nordpolar-Expedition und unter Benutzung der Originalkarten von Graah, Scoresby, und Clavering-Sabine, entworfen und gezeichnet von den Führern der Expedition Carl Koldewey und Paul Friedrich August Hegeman.Lithograph printed in black and blue (Very good, soft folds, with light foxing), 56 x 45 cm (22 x 17.7 inches). The expedition was equipped with the propeller steamboat Germania under captain Carl Christian Koldewey (1837 1908) and the sailing ship Hansa under captain Paul Friedrich Hegemann. The following scientists participated on the expedition: astronomers and physicists Karl Nikolai Jensen Börgen and Ralph Copeland, zoologist, botanist and physician Adolf Pansch, and surveyor Julius von Payer. Physician and zoologist R. Buchholz and geologist Gustav Carl Laube travelled on the Hansa. The ships sailed from Bremerhaven on June 15, 1869. In October the Hansa was crushed by the ice and the crew saved itself onfloe. The Germania reached Sabine Island on August 5 1869, where it continued Edward Sabine's expedition from 1823. It undertook the task of mapping out of the coast between 73° and 77° northern latitude from the ship or using sleighs and whalers. Trying to reach the North pole, the Germania arrived to its northernmost latitude 75°30'N on August 14 northeast of Shannon Island, where they had to return on account of lack of leads in the ice. The expedition stayed at Sabine island from August 27, 1869 to July 22, 1870. The researches, surveys and mapping of the coast towards the North Pole were continued being made on smaller boats, sleights and on foot. The expedition stayed at Sabine island from August 27, 1869 to July 22, 1870. The Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Fjord. The fjord was named after Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria-Hungary, who had made substantial donations to the expedition. Further researches of that area were made in 1899 by Alfred Gabriel Nathorst on the boat Antarctic. Beginning of the expeditiand p wreck - The first map, lithographed in black and blue, shows the route of Hansa and Germania along the east coast of Greenland, north-west from Iceland. The two different lines, entering the map on the right-hand side, show the position of the two ships on July 12 and 13 1869, followed by a confusing search of the right path between ice floes, rotating in circles and going back and forth between east and west in the direction of the south. The lines also mark position of the boats on certain dates. A week later, on July 20 the ships lost tracks of each other, although still circulating between the ice floes in the same area. After two weeks Germania found its way to the west towards the Sabine o island, as Hansa was still rotating in the same area. By mid September Hansa, severely beset, got trapped in ice and was drifting with the current in direction of the south by the Greenland coast. By the end of September the captain of trapped Hansa, Paul Friedrich Hegemann, ordered to build a shelter on one of the ice floes as a rescue rafts in case the ship would get squashed by ice. The crew built a house from coal dust briquettes from the ship on a drifting ice floe and stocked the supplies into the house. A month later, on October 19, the ship sank by the Liverpool Land, as marked on the map. The crew rescued itself on the ice floe with the makeshift house and some smaller boats. After almost three months of drifting along the coast the ice floe broke into three parts and the crew had to build smaller and even more uncomfortable house on one of the remaining floating pieces of ice. Only on May 7, they were drifted so close to the land they could reach it on their small boats, but it was not until June 13, they saw the first civilisation a couple of houses on the coasts, what was the settlement of Frederiksdal on the southern point of Greenland. This more than 200 days lasting extraordinary journey between and on ice floes is marked with a line and dates, ending in the southernmost point on this map. Gernia - T second map, lithographed in black, brown and red shows the exploration routes made by the scientist on the Germania in the time after the ships separated and return home a year later. The Germania successfully reached the Sabine o Island on August 5 1869 after losing the sight of its accompanying ship Hansa. The island was a prearranged meeting point for the two ships. After days of waiting the explorers decided to sail in the direction of the North Pole, as the days of the summer were counted and the end of August the temperatures dropped again. The first try to sail to the North Pole is marked by a dated line on the map. After the ship stuck a thick ice barrier northeast of the Shannon Island they had to turn around and sail back to the Sabine o to wait for the winter to pass. They spent the almost a whole year in the so called Germania Bay, exploring and mapping the area on foot and sleighs. These routes are marked by dated red lines on the map, which also name the explorers. The explores of Germania surveyed the area around the Sabine Island all the way to the Kap Bismarck on the north, naming the landmarks with Germanic names such as Franz-Josef Fjord, Grossglockner, Tyrol Fjord etc. In July 1870 the Germania tried to sail again in the direction of the North Pole, but had to turn around again at almost the same spot as the year before due to thick ice. In July of the same year they sailed back to Germany. These two maps were published in a rare first edition of the publication describing this second German Arctic expedition, issued 1873-74 in Leipzig under the title Die Zweite Deutsche Nordpolarfahrt in den Jahren 1869 und 1870 unter Führung des Ka.

2 volumes. Published by authority of the right honourable the Earl Bathurst. London, John Murray, Albermarle-Street 1824 (year in first volume erronously given as MCMCCCCXXIV). Third edition. xix+370; iv+399 pages. Large folded map of 'The Discoveries & Route of the Northern Land Expedition' opposite title page of first volume (approx. 85x53cm). One hand-coloured folded map opposite of titlepage in second volume: 'The Connected Discoveries of Captains Parry & Franklin' (according to instructions to binder originally to be placed in front of first volume, but seen misplaced in the third edition). Two foldable maps in the rear of second volume. One plan in second volume (page 46). Bound in two recent volumes of red half calf with six compartments and title, author, year and small vignettes in gilt to spines. Small hole to fold of the large map - only affecting the inland portion of the map, so not the mapped coastline. One map in second volume with two very small holes; one at the frame of the print affecting the longitudal scale and one to the inland, not affecting charted areas. Light foxing, creasing and folds to maps. A couple of pages with discolouration, most likely from old water stain. Otherwise only the occasional small, closed tear and three small nicks (page 177/vol. I & 217-220/vol. II). * In our time undoubtedly most widely known for disappearing with two ships and crew during what became 'Franklins Lost Expedition' (starting out in 1845 as The Northwest Passage Expedition) in search of The Northwest Passage between the Bering Strait and the Atlantic, Sir John Franklin (1786-1847) had a long career at sea behind him starting as a young boy. The merchant fleet took him to sea at the age of 12, but it became the Navy he dedicated his life to. During the early years he saw one battle followed by another: Copenhagen (1801), The South China Sea (1804), Trafalgar (1805) and so on. In 1818 Franklin partook in an expedition to Svalbard (Spitzbergen) as commander of one of the ships and the following years he led the Coppermine expedition, one of several mapping expeditions sent out by The Royal Navy in an attempt at discovering The Northwest Passage and thereby the shortcut route to the lucrative markets of Asia. The expedition started out from the Coppermine River and worked it's way east along the polar sea. The men were challenged not only by the hardships a northern climate has to offer, but also by shortage of food, bad planning, murder, possible cannibalism and a less welcoming attitude from the local helpers and ended up not fulfilling it's objective. Only half the crew made it back alive after famously eating lichen - and perhaps even their own shoes if we shall believe Franklin's nickname 'The man who ate his boots' - to survive. Franklin went on to command the Mackenzie River expedition in 1825, being governor of van Diemen's Land (present day Tasmania) for six years and lastly being appointed leader of the Northwest Passage Expedition.

Near contemporary stiff paper wrappers, somewhat repaired and soiled, preserved with signature of A. Klinckowström, dated 1890. Bookplate of Gunnar Brusewitz.Kongl. svenska Vetenskaps-akademiens handlingar. Bandet 7. N:o 3. Hulth 573. Lundberg p. 13. The author's notes are based on observations during a voyage to Jan Mayen in 1863. Apart from the animal life in general, the extensive hunting of seals in the area is described. Lundberg writes: "The fish fauna here is virtually unknown. Scymnus borealis cuv. haakjæringen, was the only fish the author saw up there, and the only one which was known to the arctic explorers." (Our rough translation.) The plates depict harp seal, bearded seal, hooded seal and different types of ice. The zoologist August Quennerstedt (1827-1926) had visited the islands in 1858 as a member of the first swedish polar expedition, led by Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld and Otto Torell. Axel Klinckowström (1867-1936) was, among other things, a zoologist and visited Spitsbergen in 1890, which he described in "Tre månaders dag [A day lasting three months", which was published in 1891. The previous owner of the book, Gunnar Brusewitz, took part of the swedish polar expedition Ymer-80, and wrote about the experience in "Arktisk sommar [Arctic summer]", in which the present work is listed among the literature.
