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.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some very very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, top corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 525pp. presents around 500 of the most important letters uncovered during the course of the epic Nelson Letters Project, a five year search of archives throughout the world. Dating from 1777 and including the earliest extant Nelson letter, this collection shows us both Nelson the officer and Nelson the private man, and, uniquely among the plethora of new Nelson books, it records his life and exploits in his own words. Written in Nelson's free flowing and conversational style, these letters introduce a very real and human figure bringing us much closer to an otherwise distant historical hero. Colin White's accompanying annotations and essays place Nelson's life and letters in full context. So alongside letters to the Duke of Clarence (later King William IV), Prime Minister Addington, and dignitaries like the King and Queen of Naples, covering treaty negotiations, battle orders and campaign plans, we can also read warm missives to family and friends, informal notes and instructions to colleagues and subordinates and some eloquently passionate letters to Emma Hamilton. Other highlights include Nelson's account of the Battle of Copenhagen, detailed orders for the Trafalgar and Nile campaigns, notes of his careful diplomatic negotiations, his network of personal contacts, and his concern with his public image. Published to mark the 200th anniversary of Nelson's death at Trafalgar. A very large heavy book, extra postage may be required. …

Unbound. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Three items relating to the death and funeral of Nelson. 1. 'Description of the Picture and Print Representing the Death of Lord Viscount Nelson, in the Battle Off Trafalgar', published by Edward Orme, and printed by J. Nichols, n.d. but probably c.1806, broadside, approximately 470mm x 295mm in size. Lightly browned and soiled, central crease from fold, chipped to edges, loss to bottom right hand corner, not affecting text, red ink staining to reverse, but without bleed through. A key with description, to the picture painted by William Marshall Craig, and Orme's engraving of it, of the death of Nelson aboard the 'Victory'; 2. 'The Funeral Car', engraved image, approximately 480mm x 280mm in size, published by R. Bowyer, 1808. Lightly soiled, creased from folds, otherwise fairly clean. Central image is of the funeral car, with elements of the funeral train; and 3. 'Lord Nelson's Coffin, with A Description of the Ornaments and Devices', no publisher, no date, c.1806?, approximately 505mm x 300mm in size, engraved image of Nelson's coffin, with descriptive text. Lightly browned and creased, closed tear to one fold. Possibly a pirated version of Ackermann's coloured print of Nelson's coffin, which had the text beneath the image, or perhaps just an uncoloured variant. Nelson's funeral was an extraordinary display, his "corpse was laid in a coffin made from the mast of a ship he had captured at Aboukir . The coffin was then displayed in state at the Royal Hospital, Greenwich, where more than 30,000 people came to pay their respects during three days . In the final funeral procession, ten thousand soldiers consisting chiefly of the regiments that . had like the deceased Admiral exerted themselves to deliver the world from the tyrannic ambition of the infidel power of France, preceded the hero to his tomb . The streets, lined by twenty thousand volunteers, had been specially covered with a layer of gravel during the night. After the military section of the procession came 48 seamen and marines of HMS Victory . together with 48 pensioners of Greenwich Hospital. Next followed the private carriages of commoners and peers and then the royal family, including the Prince of Wales. The flag of the Victory, 'torn by the innumerable balls that had passed through it in the fury of the battle', and 'stained with the blood of its intrepid crew', aroused much interest in the procession. At the rear came the naval section, preceded by heralds bearing swords, spurs and other traditional accoutrements. The funeral chariot carrying the body had 'an elevated canopy with plumes, supported by four columns resembling palm trees, and having in its front and back a carved representation of the head and stern of HMS the Victory'" (Gittings, 'Death, Burial and the Individual in Early Modern England', pages 232-233) Size: 4to (Oblong). Craig, W. M. (illustratore). Print. …

FIRST EDITION. Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, (29 September 1758â" 21 October 1805) was a British flag officer famous for his service in the Royal Navy, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. He was noted for his inspirational leadership and superb grasp of strategy and unconventional tactics, which resulted in a number of decisive naval victories. He was wounded several times in combat, losing one arm and the sight in one eye. Of his several victories, the best known and most notable was the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, during which he was shot and killed . . . Nelson's death at Trafalgar secured his position as one of Britain's most heroic figures. Numerous monuments, including Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, London, have been created in his memory and his legacy remains highly influential. - Wikip.…
