"Vancouver, who had served on Cook's third voyage, was made commander of an expedition whose express purpose was to reclaim wherever possible British rights to the Northwest Coast of America. Vancouver sailed to the Pacific via Australia, where he discovered and charted King George Sound and Cape Hood, passed Van Deiman's Land, and visited New Zealand, Hawaii and the Northwest Coast. During the course of three seasons, he surveyed Alaska and the Northwest Coast, investigated the Strait of Juan de Fuca, discovered the strait of Georgia, and circumnavigated Vancouver Island. He visited San Francisco, Monterey, and other Spanish settlements in Alta California" (Graff). "His voyage is important not only for the magnificent charts and splendid views that accompanied it, but also for the valuable and extensive amount of information that it provided on the Spanish settlements, the [Native Nations], and the physical features of the countries that he visited. It is one of the 'classics' of late eighteenth-century geographical literature...Of all modern exploring voyages to the Pacific those of Cook, La Perouse and Vancouver were the most important" (Howes).

Description
1972 Vernon "Lefty" Gomez (1908-1989) was born in Rodeo, California, the youngest of eight children, to Francisco and Rita Gomez. He began playing baseball on his hometown team at age thirteen, and by fourteen was pitching throughout central California. In 1928, when Gomez was 20 years old, he signed a contract to play for the San Francisco Seals, and two years later he joined the New York Yankees. Except for a single game in 1943 with the Washington Senators, Gomez spent his entire career with the Yankees (1930-1942). He was a key part of the team's dominant run in the 1930s, which saw them winning five World Series titles. In World Series games, Gomez was undefeated on the mound, boasting a 6-0 record, which still stands today as the longest undefeated winning streak for a pitcher in the World Series. In his relatively short but illustrious career, Gomez was selected for seven All-Star games and won the Triple Crown twice (1934 and 1937). He was the starting pitcher for the American League in the first ever All-Star game on July 6, 1933, and even drove in the first run. In 1972, Gomez was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Other career highlights include: first pitcher on the cover of Time magazine (1934), Director of Babe Ruth League International (1964-1989), Honorary 50th Anniversary All-Star Game Pitcher (1983), recipient of King of Baseball title (1986), and recipient of the Lou Gehrig Pride of the Yankees Award (1987). Off the field, Gomez was married to actress June O'Dea. The two met in 1932 while June had a starring role in George Gershwin and George S. Kaufman's hit Broadway musical, Of Thee I Sing. They married in 1933 and stayed together for fifty-six years, until Lefty's death in 1989. The couple had three children: Vernona, Sharon, and Gary. Nicknamed "El Goofo" and "Goofy Gomez," Lefty was known for his eccentric personality and one-liners. He would often hold up games to watch a plane pass overhead. Many of his jokes centered around his notoriously bad hitting - for example, in 1987, after successfully undergoing triple bypass surgery, he told the doctor, "Well, that's the first triple I ever got in my life." He also coined the classic phrase, "I'd rather be lucky than good." Letters dated 1972-1990, with some exceptions. Housed in a black three-ring binder, with protective plastic sleeves. Everything in near fine/fine condition, except for a few pages with some insect damage to edges, and occasional toning. Some letters have normal fold-lines. Many letters are with their original envelopes. (1) 28 TLS and ALS from various major and minor league sports teams, signed primarily by team GMs, congratulating Lefty for his induction into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Some notable teams include the New York Yankees, Denver Bears, San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds (signed by Bob Howsam, GM of the Reds from 1967 to 1977, and a major contributor to the success of the "Big Red Machine"), St. Louis Cardinals (signed by highly successful GM Bing Devine), Atlanta Braves, San Francisco 49ers, California Angels, and others. With TLS and ALS letters of personal congratulations from Dario Lodigiani, Edwin "Cy" Williams, John Ascuaga (Nevada gaming pioneer), Whitey and Joan Ford (unsigned telegram), two from Paul S. Kerr (National Baseball Hall of Fame president), Robert C. Cannon (a Milwaukee judge who came within one vote of being elected Baseball Commissioner), and Jack Hand (AP sports reporter). Some notes are personal and entertaining, like one from Neil Mahoney, a legendary scout for the Yankees' rival, the Boston Red Sox. Mahoney writes, "I realize it will be difficult for you to accept my heartiest congratulations, but please try. I will be in the front row at Cooperstown next July, knowing that if you tried to throw something at me that you can only play soft toss now." (2) Six holiday greeting cards, including an ALS from Tom Lasorda (Hall of Fame LA Dodgers manager), humorous ALS from Bobby and Monica Doerr that begins "Hi Showboat," TLS from Albert "Happy" Chandler (second Commissioner of Baseball, from 1945-1951), ALS from Bill and Jess Dickey (Bill was a Hall of Famer who played on the Yankees with Gomez for Gomez' entire career) in which Jess calls Lefty "such a young '79' and writes "To spend time with you [June] + Lefty always lifts our spirits", and 1987 ALS from Norman Shumway (the "father of the heart transplantation" who performed Gomez' triple bypass heart surgery at Stanford Medical Center). (3) 25 other notable letters, including a TLS from Frank Steele (Of Perez-Steele) signed by Steele and Gomez, two TLS from "Happy" Chandler, two TLS from Peter O'Malley (President of LA Dodgers) [one congratulating Lefty for earning the King of Baseball title], 1977 ALS from Hall of Famer Bowie Kuhn (fifth Commissioner of Major League Baseball from 1969 to 1984, sending well-wishes for Lefty's recovery from an operation), letter from Bobby Bragan (Director of Texas Rangers public relations who formerly played against Gomez, about an 1987 Old Timers event with handwritten note: "P.S. you killed 'em Lefty - you made all of us look good - as usual - Regards to your beautiful Jane - and tell her you were great as always"), TLS from James A. Farley (political kingmaker behind FDR's rise to the presidency), 1985 and 1987 TLS from Peter Ueberroth (sixth Baseball Commissioner, 1984-1989, regarding the Hall of Fame), and a 1989 TLS condolence letter from legendary MLB scout Gary Hughes to June Gomez: "When I talked to you in the hospital the Sunday before he went I had to hang up fast. I just started crying. I am now… Vernon once told me that even after I'd moved he would drive by the coffee shop just to see if my car was there. It's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me." (4) Five photographs, including: a photo from 1987 Lou Gehrig Pride of the Yankees ceremony signed by Lefty, a photo of Bill Dickey and Lefty signed by Lefty, a Ted Williams portrait (photo credit to Vernona Gomez), a likely Type 1 photo of Leo Durocher arguing with an umpire, and a photo of five Yankees HOFers reunited at an event. (5) Two newspaper clippings and four programs for post-retirement events, including a "Celebration of Bay Area Baseball" program signed by four players who played against Lefty: Augie Galan (3x All-Star), Sam Chapman (1x All-Star), Dick Bartell (2x All-Star), and Bill Rigney (1x All-Star), and a "Dinner with Lefty Gomez" ticket signed by Lefty. (6) Other unique materials, including: a telegram from 1938 inviting Lefty to participate in the 1939 Professional Golfers Association Championship the day before the All-Star Game (telegram notes that Babe Ruth has also been invited, to act as host), and a signed issue of Pinstripes (official publication of the NY Yankees) with article on Gomez plaque unveiling..

Description
[Madrid]: [ M R de Murga ], [1719]. First Edition, second state - plates numbered.. Contemporary limp vellum.. A good copy; old ink stain to p. 74 has resulted in the loss of a few letters; some margins close ( but complete ); binding worn; text block beginning to split.. 4to. There is an eng. title, frontis. (with four saints), eng. portrait, and 39 eng. plates. A sought after book in which the author departs from usual forms of calligraphic art and presents it as a geometrical science. It is the first Spanish writing manual listed in the Hofer catalog. Harvard has two copies, both defective. The copy offered here is, according to Palau, Hofer, and others, complete with the maximum number of plates. Palau suggests that early issues of the book may have fewer plates. The author was an orphan (born in 1663) raised by the schoolmaster of his native town (Mostoles). He was to become famous as a creative and inventive ( and favored ) member of the court as well as a didactic writer on art, a mathematician, architect, and instructor of fencing. An impressive work with plates illustrating the laying out of dials and the mathematical basis for various letter forms. This resulted in a lengthy and detailed text that is most uncommon for this kind of book. The engraving throughout is elaborate and elegant. Only one plate is signed by the engraver Juan Bernabe Palomino; Cotarelo assigns all the engraving to him. The state results from the fact that the plates are numbered consecutively - Harvard has a defective copy without the numbering. What is of special interest is the crucial siginificance ( see Corbeto ) of such books and especially Aznar de Polanco on the early development of punchcutting in Spain during the formative mid-eighteenth century. The in depth analysis of the ' letra grifa ' - a cursive type - is directly attributed to Aznar de Polanco. Hofer Coll., # 137; Palau # 21133; Cotarelo y Mori I, pp. 134 - '40; see Corbeto, The Library, v. 10, #3, esp. pp. 286 - 289.

Description
(Vologda): Izdanie Vologodskogo otdeleniia gosudarstvennogo izdatelstva, 1922. Good. Second printing (published shortly after the first), 1 of 4000 copies; 10 3/4 x 9; pp. [62]; rebound in speckled, gilt-and-black paper over boards and 3/4 leatherette; original wraps bound in; illustrated with beautiful lithographed plates; a few small deaccession stamps; two of the plates with archival repairs to verso; page numbers in manuscript (as published [?]); in good to very good condition. An ambitious and beautifully-executed endeavour, the book was a collaboration between author, historian, and educator Vera Dmitrievna Andreevskaia (1886 - 1960) and painter, graphic artist, stage designer, and part of Mir Iskusstva Nikolai Pavlovich Dmitrevskii (1890 - 1938). Intended for the "general population," the publication presented the history of clothing and fashion of various time periods - from primitive garbs through ancient Greek, Italian, and Chinese, to 18th-century French and 19th-century Russian outfits. Furthermore, to enhance the character of the style of the era, the artist added in the margins of the plates ornaments and other nation-specific symbols (cuneiform, etc.). The influence of the World of Art movement on Dmitrevskii could be clearly seen, especially in the illustrations of the French and Russian clothing. However, in some critics' opinions, the project was just a marginal success, as compared to other brilliant works of Dmitrievskii, this one showed his "little interest in the matter and lack of inspiration." Furthermore, the critics felt it was impossible to cover such an elaborate and all-encompassing subject in one thin volume. Nevertheless, for what it was, the book was overwhelmingly well-received, informative, and quite-handsome.

New York: Pach Bros., 935 B'way, 1900. Ephemera no binding. Very good. Card measures 8 11/16" x 10 ¼"; mounted photograph is 7 ¼" x 9 3/8"; bottom right card corner chipped, light creasing across bottom of photograph and two light vertical scratches, spotting to rear of card; very good. Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) was best known as the author of the Gibson Girl in the late 19th and at the start of the 20th century. The drawings of these beautiful, active, and seemingly independent women first graced the pages of popular magazines such as Life Magazine, Collier's, Scribner's, and Harper's Weekly, and later were published as collections in books. The photograph of the author and artist is taken in a sitting room setting, with two long couches in the background flanking a fireplace. Long decorative draperies have been pulled across the windows, probably to block the glare from outside lighting. The artist sits at an adjustable drawing table with a smaller table holding small bottles of ink and brushes at his elbow. Not smiling, he gazes calmly at the camera with one hand lightly resting on his drawing board. Balding in his later life, here he retains a full head of hair.
