Darren Yeadon (b.1970) Fish Signed, Carrara venatino marble, 50cm high See illustration Brought up by the sea in Whitby, Darren Yeadon began his work as a quarryman and stonemason. Learning about geology, how to extract materials from the earth; then to split huge pieces up, shape them and finally carve stones to fit into arches, church windows and architectural applications. He developed a real flair and interest in carving stone and three-dimensional forms. Suffering a life-threatening road accident in his mid-twenties caused him to readdress his approach to life and kindled his intense fascination and appreciation of nature and the beauty of our time on earth. He began carving rocks and off cuts from the quarry developing a strong personal style and dedication. He soon began to receive commissions and was sent to Italy to find a marble for a client. Seeking to develop a further understanding of the material he went to live in Carrara preferring the quarries of Michelangelo. Now established in both Pembrokeshire and Whitby, he continues to work from his studio in many types of stone and regularly goes over to Italy to buy Carrara marble.He has held exhibitions at the Staithes Gallery Whitby, Tenby Museum, the Houses of Parliament and the Pembrokeshire Botanical Gardens currently hold a number of his works.

Adams L735; Borba de Moraes I p. 418; Sabin 41366; cf. Lipperheide 1454-5. Rare first edition in Latin, the second overall, and the first to contain the important Barentsz map of the Arctic regions, 'Deliniatio cartae trium navigationum per Batavos, ad Septentrionalem plagam', populated by imaginary sea-monsters. The plates, which include views, city plans, local costumes and customs, and botanical subjects, are the same as those in the Dutch first edition of 1596 with Latin captions added. 'Linschoten was born in Haarlem, Holland, in 1563. In 1583 he sailed to India with Vicente da Fonseca, archbishop of Goa. He remained there until 1589, the year of his master's death, when he returned to Holland. Later, in 1594, he joined the expedition which, under the command of Nay, Brandt and Barentz, made discoveries in the China Sea. Linschoten died in Holland in 1633' (Borba de Moraes). His wide-ranging account is considered 'the real starting point of Dutch overseas expansion' (Helmers & Jannsen, eds., The Cambridge Companion to the Dutch Golden Age, p. 168). This copy notably retains the two large folding plans of Goa and Angra by Jan van Doetechem after Linschoten, and the two folding views of St Helena. (The list of plates lists one plan of St Helena but the two present are evidently separate engravings.) The other folding plate is 'Forum seu praeconium Goae'. The extant maps are: Delineatio orarum maritimarum, terrae vulgo indigetatae terra do Natal, item Sofalae, Mozambicae, et Melindae ... ad Indiam ... Arnoldus F. à Langren delineavit et sculpsit Exacta et accurata delineatio cum orarum maritimarum tum etiam locorum terrestrium quae in regionibus China, Cauchinchina, Camboja sive Champa, Syao, Malacca, Arracan, et Pegu ...

Baptista à Doetechum sculps. anno 1598 Delineatio omnium orarum totius Australis partis Americae ... Arnoldus Florentius à Langren, author et sculptor This copy lacks the following plates (as named in the Index): 1) Agricola Indus Lascarinus et Balhadera; 2) Indorum casae, villae et vici cira Goam; 3) Scaphae piscatoriae quibus in fluminibus uruntur; 4) Nuces Indicae seu palmae; and the following maps: 1) Generalis orbis tabula; 2) Tabula Rubri maris usque ad Bengalam. Borba de Moares notes that copies rarely contain all the maps as the book was widely used by explorers long after publication.

Edited by Sir W. J. Hooker, 3 parts in 1 volume, 1st edition, Reeve, Benham, and Reeve, 1849-51, tinted lithographic vignette to part 1 title-page, 30 hand-coloured lithographic plates after Hooker by W. H.

An excellent copy with bright plates. Hooker travelled though central and eastern Himalaya from 1847 to 1849, in the company of British government agent Archibald Campbell. The pair were briefly imprisoned by the raja of Sikkim for encroaching on Tibetan territory but managed to collect some 7,000 botanical specimens. ' Hooker's and Campbell's travels added twenty-five new rhododendrons to the fifty already known and the spectacular new species they introduced into Britain helped create a rhododendron craze among British gardeners' (ODNB). The lithographer Walter Hood Fitch was a long-standing collaborator of the Hookers and The Rhododendrons of Sikkim-Himalaya is considered among the finest examples of his work.
