[PARRY WILLIAM EDWARD]: (1790-1855) English Rear-Admiral & Arctic Explorer. An interesting original printed letter, unsigned, one page, folio, Haslar Hospital (Hampshire), 11th February 1850, to Captain Hamilton of the Admiralty. Presumably printed in a small quantity as a circular to various Admiralty officials, Parry's letter states, in part, 'I beg leave to transmit to you herewith a Model of a Sledge which I found to be invaluable, for the conveyance of Provisions over the Ice, in my attempt to reach the North Pole in the year 1827, and which may therefore prove equally useful to Captain Austin, for detached travelling parties, in the proposed Expedition in search of Sir John Franklin's ships. The Sledge is constructed from four Lapland Snow-Shoes, put together so as to be flexible and light....The length of the Sledge was about 6 or 7 feet....Ash, or Hickory, would be the best material. Both the Sledge, and the mode of stowing the bags of pemmican and biscuit powder, are so contrived, as to be placed conveniently in a boat's bottom without any unpacking....each of these Sledges....may be drawn by a couple of Men. The Cloth is "Macintosh", the seams of the bags having been very carefully sewn together....' To the inside of the integral leaf appears a facsimile drawing by Parry of his sledge. Together with an attractive vintage unsigned printed folio menu card for a dinner to Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930) Norwegian Explorer, Nobel Peace Prize winner 1922, held by the Lotos Club on 26th January 1929. The menu card features various polar images, an oval inset image of Nansen, and with his facsimile signature at the base. Some tears and areas of paper loss to the edges, only affecting the plain borders. G to VG, 2 Horatio Thomas Austin (1801-1865) British Vice Admiral. Following the 1849 failure of James Clark Ross's attempt to locate the lost Franklin Expedition, Austin led an 1850 expedition that also attempted to find Sir John Franklin and his crew. Although only locating traces of Franklin's presence, Austin is credited with organising successful sledging expeditions along the coasts of several Canadian Arctic islands.
