Small tear on front wrapper otherwise a very nice, attractive copy. Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections Volume 75, Number 5. Publication 2965. Walcott was an American paleontologist/geologist and was the administrator of the Smithsonian Institution from 1907 to his death in 1927. He is most famous for his discovery in 1909 of well-preserved fossils in the Middle Cambrian of the Burgess Shale of British Columbia, near the town of Field. In 1914, Walcott married his third wife, Mary Morris Vaux, an amateur artist and avid naturalist who traveled with him on horseback for most of his expeditions in the Canadian Rockies. She was a gifted artist and made watercolor illustrations of wildflowers as she traveled with him. A selection of her work was published by the Smithsonian in 1925 in a spectacular edition of 5 volumes all done with a special colour printing process. We have in stock both the limited edition and trade edition of this publication. Charles was also a very gifted photographer and I believe most of the images published in the above title were taken by him. We have an original of his also for sale in the shop. Many of the images were taken with a panoramic camera and the results are spectacular. The images are so well done we prefer to think of this as a mountaineering title rather than a geology title. Still, both reasons are compelling to own this very scarce title. …

Octavo, thirty-two volumes, pictorial wrappers uniformly bound in green cloth. A complete file of 181 issues in bound volumes. Doc Savage was a precursor to the modern super hero. Clark "Doc" Savage, Jr. was trained from birth with a rigorous regimen resulting in extraordinary strength and intelligence. He never killed unless necessary, he had scientific gadgets, a headquarters and a secret base (a fortress of solitude). The stories combined mystery, adventure and some science fiction. He also had a team of five experts in various fields to assist in his adventures. His stories were extremely popular during the pulp era and then found a new audience in the 1960s-70s when the series was reprinted in paperback. The novels were written using the house pseudonym of Kenneth Robeson, the main author was Lester Dent who wrote nearly 80% of the novels. Other author contributors as Robeson included William Bogart, Alan Hathway, Harold Davis, Laurence Donovan and W. Ryerson Johnson. There were many excellent contributors to the short stories which rounded out the magazine with authors such as Steve Fisher, E. Hoffman Price, Q. Patrick, John D. MacDonald, Bruno Fischer, Frank Herbert, William Lindsay Gresham, to name a few. Street and Smith publishing executive Henry Ralston and editor John Nanovic established the initial idea for Clark "Doc" Savage, Jr. - .a brawny 'superman,' a master of many fields-surgeon, mineralogist, engineer, inventor, linguist. His skin was a glowing bronze.his hair was a matching hue, and so too his eyes, resembling gold flake. He would be known as the Man of Bronze."- Server, Encyclopedia of Pulp Fiction Writers, p.81. "Doc Savage was intended to be an adventure character, but under Lester Dent's imaginative manipulations he became something more - the first superhero and an inspiration for countless pulp, comic-book, and television characters." - Cook, Mystery, Detective and Espionage Magazines, pp. 521-527. "The enormously wealthy Doc Savage headquartered in a fantasticated New York with his five sidekicks, who specialize in various crafts and sciences at the borderline of sf devotes his life to combating criminal conspiracies, almost all masterminded by the kind of charismatic villain later given definitive form by Ian Fleming in the James Bond books. Doc Savage himself clearly influenced the creation of Superman." - SFE online. A note on artists, Walter Baumhofer contributed the initial look to the character with his striking cover painting through late 1936. Other artists include R[obert] G[eorge] Harris, Emery Clarke, Modest Stein, and George Rozen. An ideal collection for an institution. [Reference: Tymm and Ashley, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Weird Fiction Magazines, pp. 183-185].
