| News itemsChristie25 Sep 2006 For once, a news item about an auction in the real world: Christie's have an auction entitled "Exploration and Travel with The Polar Sale including The Amundsen Collection" (click here), starting on 27 Sep, previews today and tomorrow. There's a first edition of Sir Richard Burton's "Guide-Book: A Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina"; a great deal of T. E. Lawrence memorabilia; a complete set of first editions of Captain Cook's "Voyages"; and lots (no pun intended) of polar exploration bits and pieces, including Roald Amundsen's "skipper's certificate". No Baedekeriana though - but probably still of interest to many visitors here! | |||||||||
