Expedition Antarctique Belge. Au Pays des Manchots: Recit du Voyage de la Belgica
Georges Lecointe
Bruxelles: Societe Belge de Libraire, 1904.Account of the captain of the RV Belgica, the second in command of the first Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897-1899. Considered the first expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, it was the first expedition to spend the entire winter in the region. Trapped in the ice for a year, they were ill prepared, the polar night driving a number of the crew mad and with scurvy setting in they were forced to subsist on penguin (largely considered inedible). Despite the challenges much scientific data was gathered including around 700 rock samples, for the first time meteorological observations were recorded for a full Antarctic year, and 188 new animal species were discovered. This superlative copy bound in full vellum with leather labels and decorative endpapers, and with a bound in manuscript letter dated 26 July 1904 from Lecointe to Madame Van Halteren requesting her to give the book to her daughter, Miss Van Halteren, signed by Lecointe, also with his monogram stamp and the stamp of the Royal Observatory of Belgium.

Gateavisa (69 Issues, 1976-1992)
Gateavisa
Oslo: Futrum Forlag, 1976-1992.Broken run of 69 issues of Norwegian anarchist and counterculture newspaper Gateavisa. First published in 1970 and through various forms and publishing schedules still being produced today. With an anti-authoritarian focus Gateavisa covered a wide range of topics, from occultism and mysticism to politics and philosophy, and of course underground comics. Gateavisa often featured stories on sex and drugs, and was an early supporter in an otherwise conservative Norway of LGBTQ rights and the legalisation of cannabis. Other regular columns ran on squatting, police violence, prisons, organic farming, pirate radios, punk, and more.
