The inspiration of the sailing ship for the artist, manifest in the great marine paintings of four hundred years, is part of the adventure too. So are the excitement and love inspired by the sailing ship in ordinary people, which created the demand for innumerable simple prints of ships throughout the age of sail. Captain Donald Macintyre has written a historical record of four centuries, from the first circumnavigation of the world to the virtual disappearance of the square~rigged ship. This is followed by a selection of contemporary writings of many nations, from 1520 to 1914 ( Francisco Antonio Pigafetta, William Bourne, Sir Francis Drake the Younger, Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza, Gerrit de Veer, Willem Cornelison Schouten, Thomas Heywood, A. Richer, George Lord Anson, Louis de Bougainville, Captain James Cook, Horatio Viscount Nelson, Captain Isaac Hull USN, Richard Dana, Captain H. A. Chippendale USN, Basil Lubbock, Basil Greenhill CBE, Joseph Conrad, etc.), each piece showing an important aspect of the age of sail, the whole combining with over three hundred beautiful illustrations to give a comprehensive picture of the sailing ship experience. Captain Macintyre traces the development of sails, rigging and hull design, from the caravel, carrack and galleon to the clipper epoch, when the sailing ship became a thing of visual and functional perfection; and beyond to the autumn of the age of sail, to the great steel~hulled four and five~masted barques and barquentines, which had a strange beauty of their own.' He tells the story of maritime exploration and the establishment of commerce : a story of friendly or hostile competition among nations sharing the common experience of the struggle against the sea. Adventure, in the ordinary sense of dramatic and exciting episodes, fills the history of sail and has received an extraordinary amount of eyewitness documentation. The selection of contemporary documents in this volume unfolds a stirring tale of storms, shipwrecks and fights, of famous ships and the men who sailed in them. It shows, as nothing else can, what life in sailing ships was really like. It relives great moments of discovery or despair, such as the first rounding of Cape Horn, or the last voyage of Willem Barents in his brave and futile search for the Northeast Passage, ennobled by the courage and dignity of a crew lost among ice and polar bears in the dark, dreaded Arctic winter. It evokes the brutality of life at sea, but also its warmer, more humorous side. After the horrors of Anson's voyage it is a relief to read of Bougainville's reception at Tahiti and the meeting of Cook's sailors with the nymphs of Nootka Sound. The odyssey of the human spirit is ever present in The Adventure of Sail, from the perceptive introduction by the famous modern sailing man and boat designer, Uffa Fox, to the highly.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. LUBBOCK, Sir John William; DAYMAN, Rev. Charles Orchard. The Stars, in Six Maps, on the Gnomonic Projection. Designed and constructed by Sir John William Lubbock, Bart., and published under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. New Edition, revised by… the Rev. W. R. Dawes, F.R.A.S., containing all the objects in Admiral Smyth's Cycle of Celestial Objects. London: Edward Stanford, 6 & 7 Charing Cross, [c.1860]. Large folio (approx. 470 × 380 mm). Complete with printed front wrapper, title page, explanatory letterpress, six large engraved celestial maps on the gnomonic projection, each hand-coloured in outline, and printed rear wrapper. Original blue printed wrappers, now worn with edge tears, losses, creasing and general fragility; the leaves all loose as issued. The title and explanation leaves browned, with small edge tears and creases; paper brittle but text complete. The six maps in good to very good condition: clean impressions, attractive hand-colouring as issued, occasional marginal splits or creases, but no major loss to the engraved image areas. Overall a complete survival in original issue state, with all components present. The gnomonic projection, in which all great circles appear as straight lines, was adopted by Lubbock to allow the relative positions of stars and constellations to be visualised in a geometrically rigorous manner, particularly useful for understanding celestial navigation and the apparent paths of bodies across the sphere. First issued in 1844 under the auspices of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, these maps were revised for this 'New Edition', incorporating corrections and additions from the Astronomical Society's catalogues and from Admiral William Henry Smyth's Cycle of Celestial Objects, one of the most important mid-nineteenth-century observational surveys. Complete sets in original wrappers, retaining both the explanatory text and all six hand-coloured charts, are distinctly uncommon.
