Thieles Bogtrykkeri, København 1833. Lille folio. 14 sider + 1 blankt blad + IV foldede raderede tavler med perspektiv-eksempler. Senere jævnt halvlærredsbind med rester af håndskrevet titelfelt. Bindet temmelig slidt. Lidt gulnet i kanterne. * Meget sjælden. ** Eckersberg lagde megen vægt på at lære sine elever ved Kunstakademiet perspektivets elementære principper. Med denne korte afhandling indskrev Eckersberg sig i en lang tradition, skabt af fremtrædende kunstnere, der hver især har fremlagt deres kunstsyn i teoretiske skrifter. (..) Eckersbergs ærinde er først og fremmest at opstille lovmæssigheder for billedkonstruktion, men som den eneste gang i sit liv benytter han også lejligheden til at gøre rede for sit kunstsyn skriftligt (P.M. Hornung & Kasper Monrad: Eckersberg (2005), p. 370. At Eckersberg havde held med sin pædagogik kan bl.a. ses hos eleven Christen Købke, hvis hele komposition i det berømte billede Parti af Østerbro i Morgenbelysning (1836) er hentet direkte fra planche IV i Eckersbergs værk. *** Eckersberg har formentlig selv raderet bogens illustrationer. **** Very scarce work on perspective by one of the greatest Danish artists of the Golden Age of the 19th century. The plates were most likely engraved and printed by Eckersberg himself.

I.W. Tegner & Kittendorff, København (1852). 4to. Litograferet titelblad, 40 sider tekst samt 30 tonede litograferede plancher med beskyttende japanpapir med prospekter fra Galatheas anløbssteder. Elegant samtidigt helbind af brunt skind med ryforgyldning og righoldig blindpræget dekoration på permerne. Navn (L.W. Castenschiold) på forsatsbladet. Øverst på det litograferede titelblad anført Admiral Sten Bille med samtidig hånd. * Formålet med korvetten Galatheas lange togt 1845-47 under kommando af Steen Bille var at overdrage de danske besiddelser i Indien til Storbritannien, indlede kolonisering af Nikobarerne og foretage etnografiske og hydrografiske undersøgelser. Koloniseringen af Nikobarerne blev hurtigt opgivet, men Bille hjembragte betydeligt videnskabeligt materiale. Thornams detaljerede billeder dækker hele togtet og er et smukt eksempel på gengivelse af endog meget fremmede steder med velvillige danske guldalderbriller.

Regensen, København 1923. Førsteudgave. 8°. 55 sider. Heftet med orig. omslag. Navn øverst på foromslaget. Lille udbedret rift i foromslagets forkant. Omslaget lidt krøllet. I glaslomme. Vedlagt: Regensviser. Foldet ark. reberholts Bogtrykkeri, København [c. 1923]. Med bidrag, Kongevise, signeret K.M. + Spredte Indtryk fra mit Klokkerat. In: Regensen. Regensianersamfundets Medlemsblad Marts 1923. * Blædel 1. Marcussen 1 (for Rub og Stub), De to vedlagte tryk er ikke omtalt af Munks bibliografer Blædel og Marcussen. Kaj Munk satte det glade guldalder-studentikose liv på Regensen meget højt. ** Rub og Stub er hans meget sjældne debut i bogform, skrevet da han som 24-årig beklædte det ærefulde embede som »klokker« (højeste embedsmand) ved Regensen. Bogen af den dengang helt ukendte Munk kom aldrig i boghandelen, men forhandledes internt på kollegiet. Ifølge Munks bibliograf Ove Marcussen bidrog bogtrykkeren i vinteren 1939 til bogens sjældenhed ved at fyre op med restoplaget, ca. 20-30 eksemplarer. ** Indholdet omfatter bl.a. lystspillet »S'mænd et Offer«, hvor Munk havde castet sig selv i rollen som stud. med. Kunow. Ligesom Revyen »Een Thranum gør ingen Sommer« er teksten stærkt præget af indforstået regensianerhumor.

Frederik Brummer, København 1801. Stor 8vo. På skrivepapir. (8)+336 sider. Kobberstukket titelblad (udført af J.C. Petermann, Leipzig). Samtidigt halvbind af brunt kalveskind med enkel rygforgyldning. Navnetræk (Sophie Ørsted og (Adam) Oehlenschläger) på indersiden af forpermen. Bindet med lettere slitage. Indlagt i smuk bogæske med rygstykke af rødbrunt gedeskind med enkel rygforgyldning (Henning Jensen). * Det udkomne. Værket var oprindelig planlagt til 7 bind. Plesner, p. 102. Fantastisk associationseksemplar. Bogen har tilhørt såvel Adam Oehlenschläger, der førte en slags tilsyn med udgivelsen, og hans søster Sophie Ørsted (1782-1818). Sophie blev i 1802 gift med Anders Sandøe Ørsted. Baggesen boede hos parret 1806-1807 og sværmede åbenlyst for fruen, ikke mindst i form af varme digte. Adam Oehlenschlägers og Jens Baggesens veje skiltes under stort litterært rabalder i 1813, og fejden varede, til Baggesen i 1820 forlod København og Danmark. ** Eksemplaret indeholder den ofte manglende 4-siders indholdsfortegnelse, som Baggesen fik trykt selvstændigt og uddelte til folk, der havde fået bogen. Bogen indeholder også digtet 'Da jeg var lille', der blev indsat i stedet for digtet 'Deltagelse'.

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.
