From there, he explored the surrounding territory, allied himself with the Hurons and the Algonquins, and took part in the first Mass on the island of Montreal. He also created the first accurate coastal map during his explorations, and founded various colonial settlements.The work describes all of the preceding French expeditions to the New World as well as his own, with a history of Canada from 1619 to 1632. It also 'gives us the first accurate accounts we have of the Indians of the interior of the present State of New York. The most remarkable event in Indian history was caused by Champlain's first visit to the shores of the lake bearing his name. In a conflict between the two named races of savages, he gave the victory to his friends the Abnaquis, by the use of his musket. The Iroquois never forgave the injury, and thousands of Frenchmen were slaughtered to avenge it' (Thomas W. Field, An Essay Towards an Indian Bibliography, 1991, no. 268).The present copy has a large hand-coloured map of Canada, drawn by Champlain in 1616 and printed by Pierre Duval in 1664, inserted in place of the 1632 map which is missing in most copies. The eight illustrations include a map, natives in war dress, a village attack, a hunting scene, native women, a religious ceremony and a funeral rite. The text is complete with the 8-page map table, the Traitté de la marine et du devoir d'un bon marinier, and the final De la Doctrine chrestienne du R.P. Ledesme, not found in some copies.Provenance: François de La Poterie, former librarian to Cardinal Jules Mazarin, ownership signature ('La Poterye') at foot of title-page; Seminary of Sainte Magloire, inscription recording Poterie's gift at head of title-page ('ex libris Oratorii Sammagloriani. Ex dono Domini de la Poterye'). Sainte Maglore, founded in 1618, was the only seminary in Paris during the seventeenth century, and was a fertile training ground for future bishops. In the eighteenth century it became an active hotbed of Jansenism and, during the Revolution, the state seminary of Paris; unidentified old red stamp on title and last page.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
SELLA (VITTORIO) AND WILLIAM F. DONKIN - MOUNTAINEERINGAlbum of nineteenth century photographs of mountaineering and the Alps, comprising 139 images, many by Vittorio Sella and W.F. Donkin, mostly albumen prints, mounted on 50 card sheets (usually recto only, but using 3 versos), 22 large format by Sella (285 x 385mm., or similar) one per page, approximately 100 (typically 130 x 180mm.) mounted 4 per page, remainder varying sizes 2 per page, varying tones and fading, many subjects or photographers identified in later pencil in margins, contemporary half morocco, g.e., worn at edges, one joint split, oblong folio (365 x 465mm.), [mostly 1880s]Footnotes:RARE NINETEENTH CENTURY ALBUM OF VIEWS IN THE ALPS BY THE GREAT PIONEERS OF MOUNTAINEERING PHOTOGRAPHY. 'It is to W.F. Donkin that we owe the beginning of first-rate alpine landscape [photography]... He brought technical skill to his work as well as a wonderful eye for country... Among his contemporaries, and a friendly rival, was the greatest of all photographers of the next generation Vittorio Sella' (C. Douglas Milner, A Century of Mountain Photography, Alpine Journal, 1957).William Frederick Donkin died, aged 43, during a climbing expedition to the Caucasus in 1888. Fêted at the time of his premature death, with a retrospective exhibition of his work held at the instigation of the Alpine Club (of which he was honorary secretary from 1885-1888) and Photographic Society in 1889, Donkin has subsequently been overshadowed by the longer lived Sella. This is undoubtedly due to the lack of details known about his life (no entry on ODNB) and scarcity of his works. The current album includes many views attributed to him.Vittorio Sella's 22 large format photographs of the Alps, from his expeditions from 1882 to 1888, include: Monte Rosa and lower peak of the Rimpfischhorn (with photographer's credit stamp lower right); Aletsch Glacier and Lake Marjelen; Summit of the Matterhorn, from the Tyndall Peak; Italian Ridge of the Matterhorn; Tete Du Lion, and Dent D'Herens, from above the Col du Lion; Swiss Summit of Matterhorn, with figure (from a cracked negative); Wellenkuppe and Gabelhorn, from the Moraine of the Gabelhorn Glacier; Matterhorn from Col des Grandes Murailles; Aiguille de la Za, from its base; Highest summit of Piz Roseg; Piz Bernina; Monte della Disgrazia from the summit of Piz Roseg; Lyskamm, with three climbers on the ice; Dent d'Herens, from Tiefenmattenfoch, with three climbers on the ice; Matterhorn, from the Zmutt ravine; Matterhorn, ?from the d'Herens summit; Dent Blanche, from the arete of Dent d'Herens above Tiefenmatten Glacier; Aletsch Glacier and Eggishorn, seen from Concordia lodge; Matterhorn from Col d'Herens; Aletschhorn, from the summit of Grunhornli. Two others unidentified.Towards the end of the album are a series of nine photographs of alpine mountaineering watercolours by 'H.G.W., 1888', and several images of climbing and skating groups, and views at Davos (2 with photo credit of photo studios from Davos).Provenance: The Rucksack Club, from where purchased by the vendor.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
