Tabula Magellanica qua Tierrae del Fuego, cum Celeberrimis Fretis a F. Magellano et I. Le Maire Detectis Novissima et Accuratissima Descriptio Exhibetur This is one of the most elaborately decorated maps to focus on the tip of South America with the Strait of Magellan and Le Maire Strait. The coastlines are depicted as very mountainous, while the interior is completely without detail. Instead the region is filled with a hunting scene, exotic birds including rheas and penguins, and a quaint scene of village life. The map is further adorned with a pair of compass roses, three sailing ships, and four beautiful cartouches. The key to the map is in a strapwork cartouche held aloft by putti, while another cartouche at right dedicates the map to Gualtherus de Raet. The cartouches arrayed across the bottom of the map present a unique distance scale in checkerboard format and the title with a tribe of Fuegian natives, penguins and shells. This is the second state with a blank verso. Fine impression and color with minor soiling and a few archivally repaired tears confined to blank margins. 16"" W x 20.5"" H Jansson, Jan 1658

MILITARY MEDALS, INFANTRY, ROYAL MARINES & ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY, An Interesting WWI ‘North Russia’ Interest Campaign Trio awarded to Gunner Edward William Channon, Howitzer Brigade, Royal Marine Artillery, who was latterly drafted into the 6th Battalion Royal Marine Light Infantry in late 1919 – members of this battalion famously threw down their weapons in the so-called ‘Murmansk Mutiny’ against their forced service in North Rusia, after the war in Europe had come to an end, comprising: 1914-15 Star (R.M.A. 13840 Gr. E. W. Channon.), British War and Victory Medals, 1914-1920 (R.M.A. 13840 Gr. E. W. Channon.); medals officially impressed, group loose. Well-polished, the latter with minor edge bump at obverse 7 o’clock, fine, toned. (3) Gunner Edward William Channon was born 2 March 1895 at Farnham, and enlisted for service with the Royal Marine Artillery 5 January 1914, at Southampton, having previously worked as a Farm Labourer. He served with the RMA throughout WWI, in particular with the Howitzer Brigade from 21 July 1915 onwards. This section of the RMA (the other being anti-aircraft) was to be used in the operation of huge 15-inch howitzers firing high-explosive shells, which were mounted on tractor-drawn platforms. Each gun required no fewer than 60 men to operate, such was their size. Whilst in action on the Western Front, he was admitted to hospital 3 December 1915, with the reason of his wound/sickness unclear, and returned again to duty 16 December that year. His papers show that later in the war, as of 18 July 1919, he was drafted into the 6th Royal Marine Light Infantry Battalion, who were sent to Murmansk to relieve the North Russian garrison. Its objective was to break nearby Bolshevik resistance and to enable a smooth British withdrawal and handover to White Russian forces. However, having served throughout the war and then being sent to North Russia without home leave, after a small number of actions against the enemy, members of this battalion took part in a mutiny, and were returned to England 31 December 1919. Roughly 90 men were court-martialled and sentenced to various severe punishments (including the death sentence), however these were later reduced in most cases. Sold with copy service papers, and some useful research.
