Edward William Cooke, 1811-1880 : a man of his time /John Munday. A biographical study of Edward William Cooke (1811-1880), a landscape and marine artist and botanical illustrator. Largely based on Cooke's diaries and notebooks, this study also highlights Cooke's other interests including antiquities and collecting, geology, gardening and garden design. The work is supported by over 500 plates illustrating Cooke's paintings, engravings and sketches with many in colour. Much of his work depicted English coastal shipping and scenes, including Greenwich, but his work also reflects his travels in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Morocco, Egypt and Italy when he visited Venice at the same time as John and Effie Ruskin. Appendices include extracts from his diaries covering the period 1828-1879, a catalogue of his paintings in oils, a record of his watercolours, his travel itinerary covering the years 1824-1879 and accounts for 1849. The work is supported by a detailed bibliography and index. 1996. • FOLIO • 4 copies available. 7Cooke

As the first published reference work since 1849 to include this level of detail for all the Royal Navy officers of the period Royal Navy Officers of the Seven Years provides unparalleled access to information previously unpublished.''-- Povided by the publisher. 2019. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 940.2/534092241
John Rae, Arctic explorer : the unfinished autobiography /edited and with an introduction by William Barr. "John Rae is best known today as the first European to reveal the fate of the Franklin Expedition, yet the range of Rae's accomplishments is much greater. Over five expeditions, Rae mapped some 1,550 miles (1,850 kilometres) of Arctic coastline; he is undoubtedly one of the Arctic's greatest explorers, yet today his significance is all but lost. John Rae, Arctic Explorer is an annotated version of Rae's unfinished autobiography. William Barr has extended Rae's previously unpublished manuscript and completed his story based on Rae's reports and correspondence--including reaction to his revelations about the Franklin Expedition. Barr's meticulously researched, long overdue presentation of Rae's life and legacy is an immensely valuable addition to the literature of Arctic exploration."-- [2018] • BOOK • 1 copy available. 917.1904/1092
