EXPLORATION & SCIENCEAutograph letter signed ('Fridjof Nansen') to mountaineer and Arctic explorer Edward Whymper ('My dear Whymper'), asking his advice on equipment for the Fram expedition, thanking him for the aneroid barometer ('...This will certainly be a most valuable addition to our instrumental equipment which I dare say will be first rate...') and discussing other equipment he intends taking ('...I have previously three pocket aneroids... which I used across Greenland... we have three mercury barometers...& one selfregistring Barometer. If you think, however that the aluminium aneroid... will be a very good one and consequently of importance I shall be glad to get it... excuse great haste...'), 2 pages, creased with some small tears, 4to (250 x 200mm.), Lysaker, 28 March [18]93; with five autograph letters to Whymper from Richard Owen (making arrangements), two from John Tyndall ('...You are now among the mountains. I start tomorrow from Hindhead – not with a view of expending energy as you do, but in the hope of collecting it if I can...'), T.H. Huxley and W.H. Flower (thanking him for his book on the Andes), 7 pages, in an envelope docketed 'Autographs/ from C. Whymper/ Feb. 1933', creasing, some staining, 8vo, British Museum and elsewhere, 1866 to 1892 (6)Footnotes:'A VALUABLE ADDITION TO OUR INSTRUMENTAL EQUIPMENT': FRIDJOF NANSEN SEEKS ADVICE FROM FELLOW ARCTIC-EXPLORER EDWARD WHYMPER.Nansen writes in haste a month before leaving for the Fram Expedition of 1893-96, during which he reached a record 'farthest north' of 86°14′. In his account of the expedition, he writes of the importance of taking the correct scientific instruments: 'In addition to the collection of instruments I had used on my Greenland expedition, a great many new ones were provided, and no pains were spared to get them as good and complete as possible... Of special importance were a self-registering aneroid barometer (barograph) and a pair of self-registering thermometers (thermographs)... Altogether, our scientific equipment was especially excellent, thanks in great measure to the obliging assistance rendered me by many men of science' (Farthest North, 1897, chapter 2). One of the 'men of science' he consulted during his preparations was Edward Whymper, whose own expedition to Greenland in 1867 had opened up greater possibilities for Arctic exploration, and who had published a pamphlet, How to use the Aneroid Barometer, in 1891. Nansen's experiments with equipment and techniques were to influence polar explorers for years to come. These letters come from the collection of Sir George Buckston Browne (see lot 18).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
